Not at all. The iPhone does everything the iPod does, and more. If you
carry your Palm constantly, then an iPhone could replace both your phone
and your Palm, maybe.

On the other hand, I am not ready to start using a smartphone. I have

announces a new model iPhone, I reconsider. I am staying with iPod for
now.
