Palm's Centro Tells Foes: 'Talk to the Hand'

This story contains corrected information. I've always said that if you give the consumer a good product -- and sell it for a good price -- you should have a winner. This is not brain surgery. And, it's rewarding when a well-known company figures it out.

The result is the Centro currently being sold by Sprint(S Quote) and AT&T(T Quote). It is a great small design, with lots of functionality as well as truckloads of personality.
