thnks for the responses on "Palm as A Server" and i have go the answers for the questions. Well, we cant say that their is no need to run the big application (more than 16 mb) on Palms. It is because we cant do it, that is why think it is not possible. In future i percieve we need it :)
1. Does this mean that Palm OS in itself isnst enough mature to handle them? Has it something to do with the processor speed as well ? 2. What about the other Palm OS competetors, how far can they handle the application? Thank again... Markus Dresch wrote: > > 1.
