I wonder why the zire21 is slower then the Tungsten E. I thought they both run
at 126 or 128 mhz.
Strange.
Maybe it was used different hash table sizes ?

this is indeed fast.

cool. this is really interesting.
oh man. i will never solve the decision which palm or handheld.

I like the zire21, the zire 71 and the tungsten E.

The zire 21 has the advantage that is is cheap and works longer with
the same amount of energy.

The zire 71 has a nice display and is faster. but only 16 MB ram.
When the tungsten E has a bigger memory (and is less expensive due to no
camera).

its all very complicated.

i change my decision 4 times a day.
