Lack of processor speed, lack of memory

Neither of those could possibly be limitations of PalmOS - or any
other portable OS for that matter. Furthermore, PalmOS is *leaner*;
Palm apps get a larger portion of the resources.

BTW - you can expect GPS s/w for street navigation to demand
substantially more processor speed due to significantly more complex
algorithms, and a 312 MHz Arm processor (at least 2 years old now) can
run TomTom 6 quite fine - and TT6 is a fairly bloated app.

and a near total lack of decent software.

I only need one good nav app. Having more keeps the price down, but
$170 is reasonable. I would like to get the app for less, but
certainly not at the cost of creating a dependancy on the Fisher-Price
of unreliable and bloated operating systems.
