When a Major Player gives up, what does this say?

Today, I read with amazement that Sammy McCloughlin has ceased using his Lifedrive. Infact, he gave it away to one of his partners. I wrote a long piece detailing this important news, but the blog timed out before I could save it. However it was a long diatribe about how Palm should do something about this device quickly, such as offering rebates for a new model or correcting the software glitches. I am losing money with this device. It is no longer keeping track of my charges because with each patient that I add, it crashes. This, despite the numerous resets.

Anyway, I have decided to spare the long diatribe and leave open the question, what does it say about a device and a company when one of its major supporters, one day before the announcement of a Microsoft enabled Treo, publicly announces that he is returning to his old Palm device?

I'll save the long speech.
