Hmm, if the idea behind Android is to have my private data on the cloud, that's not cool.

There are several applications (iSilo, OliveTree, eReader) that I know have been ported to Android,so that helps with the idea of giving up on the Palm OS.  But I absolutely must have an application like memopad(Memoleaf), that's the Palm program where most of my personal data is located.  I have never seen an equivalent in any platform yet (nope, Evernote and similar notetaker programs really do not behave like memopad, especially in the search and sync department, and again, I don't do cloud with my data).
