Its the same ROM as the Palm IIIx and Palm V.

The device does not have any sort of memory slot (like Pilot, PalmPilot, and
Palm III) or expansion slot (like Palm IIIx). It also does not have Flash ROM,
so it cannot be upgraded to any future version of the OS. This is because
Flash is expensive. The device _can_ use 3rd party apps... its not _that_
"un-upgradable".

It doesn't have Flash, and the RAM & ROM are not on a removable card so
you can't swap it for flash later.
Hope this clears the air a bit...
