It's clear in my eyes that Palm did not fail due to market forces. They had the best smart phone at the time, and I purchased one and enjoyed it immensely. I now have an iPhone and I hate it but I have to tolerate it. Take my account for what it's worth, but PalmOS was clearly superior from a productivity standpoint. This is cemented in my mind further by the integration of Palm or Palm-like features into iOS since iOS7. If these threats had any basis, then Palm would be able to sue Apple since now Apple feels entitled to rip off Palm's design decisions, sadly, 'that train has sailed', but now we're left with an uberpowerful Apple who only answers to God.
