Khan, I don't think the next generation Palms are ready to play MP3, unless... 1) Dragonball moves up in MHz greatly, or 2) Palm opts for a non MP3 format. Thanks for the insight, Khan. I find it unusual that nobody has posted what they have seen at the Palm Pavillion at CES. Why all the secrecy? Also, do you need the core processor to play MP3 files or just to access the memory card? My understanding of earlier Palm generations was that they didn't support FAT files, thus no add-on flash could be supported. This was either due to the limitations of the Dragonball or limitations of the Palm OS. But wouldn't playing MP3 just require memory card support and a DSP? Why does the core processor get involved at all? Message 13042603 Aus an MP#
