Are Palms high performance or has the OGG/Vorbis decoder gotten a lot less processor intensive, I wonder?
Why no Clie support? by AnimalSnf · 2002-11-30 20:14 · Score: 4, Interesting

As one of many Clie owners (N760C) that visited that page, I am curious as to why I need to email some guy at Sony to be able to use this player. As far as I understand programs written for Palm 5 today are still compiled for RISC ISA, and the sound API on Clies is documented, so what's the holdup?
