Well I do not know everthing about this beast yet! (Right Rus?) but if the
mem is called FLASH, then it will always hold the contents even on lose of
battery, but if the memory is SRAM, or DRAM then yes its a goner!

Yes. Check out www.trgpro.com .
If the Palm's batteries are dead, there's no current to
be able to preserve the state of the Flash RAM, so your apps
get hosed. Otherwise, the Flash ROM is preserved and your
preferences are set back to the factory prefs.
