I just went and read the NAND section in the new palmOne developer's guide.  The
T5 does indeed use a 10MB DBCache area (so does the Treo 650).  But while open
*resource* databases (such as an application) must fit entirely within this
cache area, that is not true of non-resource databases.  to wit:

  "Because the DBCache size is limited to approximately 10MB, resource databases
are currently limited to this size. For large record databases, the OS
intelligently purges or flushes data from the cache to free space for new
records ... The purging of data takes place in the background and is seamless to
the user. You should be aware that there are some performance issues associated
with this method."

>but with the 10MB limit, ebooks will not be funny at all!

Relax, they aren't stored as resource databases.
