Actually, it gets worse than that for a woman known to do her daily sit-ups during a conference call. "While I'm driving, I've got the cell phone out. I'm drinking a cup of coffee, checking the Palm Pilot for the number and then calling," boasts Klein. Yup, got that all done while stuck in traffic...

My guess is that Palm will sell plenty of these, and that Microsoft will be happy about it. That is, unless they don't get into the legal mire that Research In Motion's BlackBerry has been in for a while - in mid December, mobile e-mail software developer Visto sued Microsoft for patent violations, particularly pertaining to Windows...
