I think the problem with screen size is that most people who are going to use these machines are not 20 years old college kids - but mostly 35-55 years old. Their eys-sights are not as good and if you cramp a whole web page into a Palm screen, technically it's for sure possible, but NOBODY will be able to read anything off it so what's the purpose ?

Web-clipping (or some variations of it) is the model to go. Palm should be 95% text-based with the most basic GUI interface for navagational purposes. Images should be downloaded only on specific request. While I am placing a trade, who cares about a picture of Bill Clinton or Bill Gates !

Inputing methods should see some major improvements in the future. Get rid of that Graffity stuff - I have never seen a good review of this Graffity crap. A natural input method should be the way to go.
