What Apple did well was marry the full screen of the Palm with the connectivity of the blackberry. The Palm V with a cradle cell modem and battery was a niche attempt, but the OS didn't really natively support always-on internet and the apps didn't integrate it. Android and IOS both did and that was the difference, although Google had to play catch up because their first phone the HTC Dream had a slide out keyboard.
