Clint:

I am probably the one you are talking about.  There appears to be a 
misunderstanding.  What I was trying to say was that with the palm 
having been end of lifed by the Palm folks in terms of the PalmOS that 
other solutions would have to be sought.  Since I seem to be one of the 
few that doesnt have an iPhone, I hadnt had the reason to look for that 
type of solution and had moved to a netbook as the next best option that 
  I was able to find.
