That's right. However on a PDA the problem is that you are running on batteries,
so you can't just grab the fastest processor and stuff it into the handheld.
You must be extremely careful about power consumption.
I guess the next PalmOS generation is going to use the DragonBall VZ and the
DragonBall MX1 (but this one has an ARM core, so it's actually a different
processor which is going to require an OS rewrite).
