There is the "Palm" (sometimes Palm Pilot, or just Pilot) that runs the Palm OS. It has a 16MHz processor that's basically an improved 68000. I think it's rated at 2.7 MIPS. Palms these days have between 2 and 8MB RAM. Then there are Windows CE palmtops, that run Windows CE. These have a lot of different processors, but a typical one is a 75MHz MIPS, rated at ~90 MIPS. RAM is between 4 and 32MB. So, Lang's program is for the Palm, and mine is for Windows CE, so mine has an inherent speed advantage of like 30x. Hopefully this is enough to make mine better. =) -Tom
