It&#x27;s Treo vs PocketPC all over again!  (only half joking)<p>I remember the back and forth comparisons and debates over price, feature set, compatibility, the companies behind them, form factor and all sorts of details.  Regardless, they were some of the first &quot;good enough&quot; smartphones the average consumer could purchase even if their bulk and higher price kept them mostly in the realm of professionals, enthusiasts, and early adopters.<p>Then 5 or 6 years later we had an industry that was already becoming dominated by Apple and Google rather than Palm and Microsoft.  Devices were much faster, more capable, and more accessible.  Now you can buy one for $150 and get something that&#x27;s actually somewhat decent.
