Perry, re: Palm I read a recent write-up of Handspring's Visor. It seems that the Palm OS is devised to work with a DragonBall processor and the maximum RAM allowable with this processor is 8MB. Could this be true? I think that Palm is going to have to rethink how it will approach multimedia files such as compressed audio, still images and even video. If Sony is going to bundle Memory Sticks with a Palm Pilot then they need at least a color screen & stereo audio output. I am curious if the current Palm OS/DragonBall combination will allow this. Anybody versed in this area? Ausdauer
