Exactly the reason why I bought a Palm IIIc instead of those flashy PPC's over a year ago. Not an excuse anymore, nowadays. The better Palms now are even more expensive than some PPC's.

Yes, thanks to the extra DSP that's on board. Now that's multitasking. Two processors, two tasks.

(Wow, maybe they should have put in an extra Dragonball so you can sync while you read ebooks while you play music. Simple, yet revolutionary solution! Simple as Palm...)

Anyway, is this the case for the newer NX's?

The newer NX's still cannot sync while doing anything else (at least the unit I had to play with did not).

I don't think there is any way around that unless Sony added another processor or subsystem that operated outside of the Palm OS to do that. That would be multitasking. OS6 maybe.

Well, like I said in the other thread, keep in mind full backup Hotsyncs (always a full backup) normally won't take longer than a minute, even if you install something that's 2 MB. There's always the Silkskin Changer, but I won't get into that again. :twisted:

While I haven't used a Palm in years, I find that the critiques of PocketPC listed on this page:

http://www.palm.com/solutions/personal/docstogo/

are right on. MS really needs to do something about Pocket Word and Excel losing .doc and .xls formatting. It's shameful. In fact, for me it's the only flaw with PocketPC, otherwise my 3800 does everything I could possibly want it to.
