Newtons couldn't either--ok, I paid $100 to have my MP120 upgraded to
NOS 2.0, but that was a hardware change as much as anything. The only
other system upgrade I recall Apple offering was a similar upgrade of
the MP2000 to MP2100. Handhelds have/had their OS in ROM, not easy to
upgrade. Since the iPhone and Pre have their OS in software, it is
actually possible. BTW, there is already a WebOS 1.1 out there, so it
looks like they will be improving--probably slower than Apple, though.
Palm doesn't have anywhere near the resources that Apple has to bring
to bear to these things.
