PC World Contributing Editor James A. Martin calls Palm, Inc. a "third-tier smart phone vendor." That's quite a slam for the company that started the hype in the PDA space so many years ago.

Mr. Martin does give some reasons for sticking with the Palm OS including its ease-of-use. He also calls Palm's hardware "reliable and sturdy" which is questionable at best.
