I already have a PalmV PDA with PalmOS 3.5. I never use it. I practically have absolutely no need for an organizer. Yet, I wanna buy a new one. That geek gene in me (that my mother unsuccessfully tried to kill over the years) what really wants is a "truly mobile PC" that just isn't a laptop. So, for the last few days I was shopping around the Internet for a new PDA (preferably a PocketPC this time) that would fit the kind of thing I am looking for. I was... horrified to find out that what I need isn't... invented yet.

imo 640*480 for even a 4" screen is ridiculous, thats way more dpi than my desktop monitor, half vga should be plenty. but pocketpc should seriously scale up resolution. and palmos devices should finally ALL have "virtual graffiti" standardized.
palmos6 is a disappointment to be honest.
still no true filesystem for ram, that's ridiculous.
the interface changes seem minimal at most, and they added "more fields" to the adress-app. the launcher app would need severe changes. multitasking is finally here, ok.
also i don't think their strategy of keeping os5 and os6 active in parallel is not good.
my dremdevice would be similar to yours, but i'm not _that_ extreme.
