Palm’s biggest hit or last stand?

My eagle-eyed friend Jason spotted an interesting report from CES yesterday about Palm’s upcoming phone that runs on WebOS, a new platform. 

Like the Android, it appears to try to take the best of iPhone features and combine them with a robust, user-configurable OS.

Good for Palm for doing this.  Without a hit on a device like this, I can’t see how they can survive much longer.  It’s a shame, too, because Palm Pilots from the late 1990s are really the devices that showed the for handheld computing. (Apologies to Newton lovers.)
