bring back springboard expansion

well this is probably just the tip of the iceburg.... they should have kept the springboard expansion with all their products. That was how they gained all their customers in the first place.

Wow. I just ... I never would have thought this would have happened. Wow.
I mean, they dropped their initial product line completely and stopped utilizing the technology they developed so that they could produce a glorified cellphone and ignore their core customer base ... who'd have thought they'd lay people off?

why is it companies always do stupid things like this??? Why get out of the race when your nearly leading it??? (I am referring to last year when they stopped w/ the Visor line). I love my Prism and will use it for some time... but they've lost me as a customer... I think I'll have to switch sides and go to Sony!! -they've got the right idea w/ the Clie line of PDA's.
