Palm's VII replacement, the m705, and two new 'always connected' wireless Handspring models got FCC regulatory approval this week, and are due in stores before Christmas. I so want one of these. I'd been thinking about getting a Blackberry for a while, and Sony's Clie has also been poking at my wallet, but I think I'd much rather have a Handspring k180, which has a keyboard like the blackberry, but with palmOS and built-in cellphone. If only it were in color...

The interesting twist is that just a day after the FCC granted the licenses, Palm and Handspring requested the approval be postponed, so public viewing of the FCC application is withheld until they're closer to launching. Think Christmas.
