Actually this is quite apropos of the discussion earlier on speed. A 1 MB
device is perfectly usable for the vast majority of uses to which Palms
are and will be put. Obviously there ARE applications which want memory
(email, browsing, docs), but to think that a device is unusable or even
unmarketable with less is missing the point.
Unless, of course, it's a WINCE device. ;-)
