I'm sure there will be ARM-native >versions of Tiger and Hiarcs too some time soon soon. yes. and maybe later a better palm model and i can switch again. IMO the Tungsten T3 has too many negative things i do not need: a palm that has not much battery time is IMO not useful. why do i need a color display for chess ? the pieces are black and white :-)) also the display of the zire makes no high-frequency sound. and it costs 3.5 times less money !! although beeing 8 times faster than the palm i use today. >I would recommend you to wait for the first Palm OS 6 units, which should >arrive some time within the next few months. hm. > I expect OS 6 to be a big >improvement compared to OS 5, both from the user's perspective and the >developer's perspective.
