It’s sorta interesting that Palm and Microsoft both target Apple with the same message

I can understand when someone goes shopping for a laptop they may want to consider a laptop priced at $699 vs. one from Apple or a netbook priced at $299 vs. a Windows laptop without considering the overall value (btw, do they know what value is when it comes to a PC v. Mac decision?)

If people are willing to spend $299 for a smartphone and then $60+ a month on a data plan, are they concerned about price/costs that much more than they are about value?
