os 3.5? No, 4.0
RE: os 3.5? No, 4.0
So, even if it's with OS 4.0, SD slot and all the rest, will it be in COLOR?
RE: os 3.5? No, 4.0
Nor has the naming convention ever been indicated that the x05 models would be color.
RE: os 3.5? No, 4.0
Does os 4.0. yes.
Is that enough indication for you?

does the article say anything about an SD slot? do you have any facts to back up what youre saying? geez, calm down.

RE: os 3.5? No, 4.0
The m105 is not a next generation unit, its a m100 with 8MB of memory and thats it. the m100 does not have an SD slot.
Theres NO difference between the two except the memory. The ROM is exactly the same. Its OS 3.5

RE: os 3.5? No, 4.0
Maybe x05 just means better, not color
So:
M100 - 2 MB, Gray, OS 3.5
M105 - 8 MB, Gray, OS 3.5
M300 - 8 MB, Gray, SD Slot, OS 4
M305 - 8 MB, Color, SD Slot, OS 4
M500 - 8 MB, Gray, SD Slot, Cool Case, OS 4
M505 - 8 MB, Color SD Slot, Cool Case, OS 4
RE: Maybe x05 just means better, not color
The palmpilot is obsolete now. The palm v isn't.
So shall the "2nd generation" become obsolete because of the non sd expansion and different naming scheme?
Think about it.
Palm pilot=> palm pilot pro, palm pilot 1000, etc. All these new "palm pilots" wouldn't make each other obsolete. But the "2nd generation",starting palm IIIx, did. Nowadays, i wanna see avantgo run on a palm pliot!
So will the new "third generation" wipe out the second generation completely?
I mean, you needing the SD expansion, and the new palm OS.
I got a brand new IIIc. Do I have to BUY the new palm OS? It'd be a cheap shot.

RE: Maybe x05 just means better, not color
The first generation of palms (palm pilots) are obsolete now, because there is a second generation (palms 3,5,7).
As long as palms are in the same generation (v and VIIx, for instance), they won't make each other obsolete, but when a new generation comes, all the past generation dies (palm pilot pro, for instance, is now dead)
I am worried that the "second generation"(palm III to palm VII) might die, because I just bought a palm VIIx.
What do you think? Shall I sell my palm VIIx, or will it still be able to use the upcoming aplications for the new upcomig palms?
RE: Maybe x05 just means better, not color
Maybe I've only got 2 Mb of RAM, but my old Palm is at the same level as other, it hasn't got obsolete at all. I can use any software I want.
The Palm phisolophy has always seemed to be opposite to other such as Microsoft's, which has tried to maintain backward compatibility but has mostly made it's OS bigger and bigger.
Even PalmOS 4 would fit into the 2 Mb Flash of my Palm ; but will I need it ? My 3.x PalmOS is enough today.
I'm glad to see new Palm (nice box, cool colors...) and know I own a Palm. One day, I will change, maybe to get more RAM or get color, but there is no emergency like with a Windows(tm).
RE: Maybe x05 just means better, not color
2. any palm that has flash rom can update their OS. and although it seems from what ive read that OS4 is going to have SD support, i dont think (i would bet money on this) that it will be exclusive to SD devices as that would break from palms "zen/simplicity/everybody's happy" vision.
3. noones going to HAVE to buy the new OS. im still running OS 3.3 and havent updated to 3.5 and my device runs fine. hell, im sure that these new palms wont be able to do anything my device (palm iii 2 megs ram) wont do (SD expansion crap excluded). until palm significantly advances the OS, ups the screen resolution, or increases processor speed alot, i dont see myself buying a new palm. and i dont see palm doing any of those things for a long time as that would wreck their massive userbase of software.
RE: Maybe x05 just means better, not color
That means..no forward compatibility!
Off by a year

RE: Maybe x05 just means better, not color
You buy a m505, then in one year, it's uslesess because all new apps are ARM based :) HAHAHAHAAAAAAA
RE: Maybe x05 just means better, not color
m505 = 16bit color
End of debate.
universal connector question...
will OS4 be free?
RE: will OS4 be free?
They may scale back the features and release an OS 4.0 'lite' or something that doesn't include the SD support, the color support (making it non-usable for IIIc's) and the multi-lingual support. But I highly doubt it.
Most likely if you want OS4 you will need to get a new unit.
hey
OBSOLETE = OS-5!
RE: OBSOLETE = OS-5!
We intend to maintain backward compatibility -- in other words, if your existing applications are properly written, they will continue to run, even when we go to a new microprocessor. I have learned never to say "never" in this industry, but that is a very strong commitment we've made.
