OT: > unless Intel has a companion chip with Palm-type > peripherals (Memory Stick, MMC, Consumer IR, etc) > instead of PocketPC-like peripherals (PCMCIA, Compact > Flash, IRDa) FWIW, Compact Flash is a Palm-type peripheral. My Visor Prism is playing the Final Fantasy trailer from that media type as I write this message. All Palms by Handera (nee TRG) have built-in support for CompactFlash. In fact, currently, Compact Flash has about the same PalmOS support as MMC and is has a heck of a lot more support than Memory Stick. PCMCIA is perhaps another story. The Handspring Springboard port is sort of a subset of the PCMCIA spec, after a fashion. There is a PCMCIA adaptor coming out for the Palm m5xx series, and I do not think that Palm would be above allowing for PCMCIA support in their chips. I would like to be instructed: What is the difference between Consumer IR and IRDa? Would it be difficult for Palm to switch over from one to the other? Hmmm. Interesting. So Palms in the future may very well use Intel processors and AMD Flash. -JC
