how are you going to use Rosetta on a palm sized screen? it would be
horrible. face it, if apple is going to release a palm based device
it will not include (the whole) Rosetta. if they expected people to
write full sentences on a screen that big then they aren't the
company i thought they were..
i also find that a palm device with 340MB of storage is a totally
stupid idea. i -can- almost imagine a newton with that much space.
but a palm has far too much of a limiting data entry maximum speed
(i.e. graffiti), whereas a newton can double as a small computer (and
it often does in my case).
palm is for contacts/notes and toys. newton is for real work.
all IMO of course =)
