What's interesting is they mention that Palm and their partners are committed to bringing color and new media features to the Palm OS - but not at the expense of destroying the battery life, size, and weight of the handheld. Something similar to this was mentioned by Palm's VP awhile back.

review ... Do you want to have the Bible on your Palm, but don't think you have enough memory? Well now you can. Laridian Electronic Publishing has just what you are looking for. My Bible, originally Scripture by Servant Software, employs a unique compression algorithm, which reduces the entire Bible down to about 1.5Meg, plus 30k for the base program. For this review, I had the NIV version; it took about 1.4Meg just for the bible, and about 200k more for the optional footnotes. for the rest goto www.palmguru.com
