I think the very important thing to remember now is that
PALMOS HANDHELD DEVICES ARE AS POWERFUL AS POCKETPC DEVICES.
The new PalmOS devices are using the same processor architecture as the PocketPC
devices.
The Palm Tungsten-C for example features a 400MHz Intel processor (ARM core).
PalmOS devices do not have memory limitations anymore. The Tungsten-C has 64Mb
of RAM out of the box.
It is very important to forget the old limitations of the older PalmOS devices.
I think people used to perceive PocketPC as more powerful than PalmOS. This idea
is completely outdated. I hope everybody is going to install this update as soon
as possible. :)
