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 issues with privacy and security. I have to admit, every time Apple announces a new model iPhone, I reconsider. I am staying with iPod for now. -- David Arnstein (00) arnstein+usenet@pobox.com {{ }} ^^
