It just struck me that I still don't have a hi-rez timer API for the
existing PalmOS (i.e. sub 100hz tick).  And the EZ processors have the
PWM capability, but there is no "play this record as sample" call.

So before I would worry about changing processors, there are still
lots of things the existing platform is capable of which are still
"hacks".  Even >1bpp bitmaps are only starting to be used with 3.5.

And the only real complaint I have with the base hardware is the lack
of a high speed interface.  115200 is the maximum.  But otherwise the
Palm V is suprisingly versatile for something so thin and light (and
having upgraded mine to 8Mb there's still a lot of space in there - so
they can make it smaller or add functions in the same package).

Actually if they wanted to save costs, they should port the OS to one
of the CE platforms - they already have the hardware and then it
wouldn't be crippled by the OS.
