Palm is a horrible operating system for these types of operations.
What is it about "these types of operations" that makes Palm horrible
for them (presumably without making it horrible for other stuff?)
The biggest problem with Palm OS is that it's single tasking - it can't be
doing much of anything in the background. [...]

That's true as far as that goes, and yet my Garmin iQue 3600a has no
problem keeping the GPS mapping software going, MP3's playing, and yet
work on some ordinary palm app.
