It's a definite issue with the changeover to color. Not only that,
but many (if not all) future Palms are going to be moving up to
color screens and possibly a different processor, like the ARM. That
said, the best remedy I've seen is similar to the remedy that HTML
designers came up with when the Browsers started supporting frames,
aka. Make a low end (direct screen writing) version, and a high
end (API's and color support) version, and make SURE you do a check
on the OS version of the handheld you're running on (or you will have
some very nasty problems).
