I'm still trying to figure out why Palm made the switch over to TI. In the 12/17/2001 press release, Palm says "some" forthcoming Palm products would be using TI. I wonder if the rest will be using the 68k-based Dragonballs, or if Palm is planning to ship both (TI) OMAP and (Motorola) MX1 Palms in the future. -Jeff Ishaq -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
