Palm Memory Maximum Increased

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the more-to-remember dept.

Trillan writes "PalmSource has announced that it has developed a technology for increasing the maximum RAM on a Palm handheld from 16MB to 128MB. Hopefully new devices will come out soon to take advantage of it." This looks to me like Palm's plan for remaining competitive against handhelds like Sony's that can add more memory in via memory stick. As more and more multimedia apps are written for PalmOS, more storage space only makes sense.

    BTW, a Palmtop with 128MB RAM should be quite fast - like say, aLinux desktop with 1GB RAM..

    Yes, there should be a significant speed boost, just like when you paint a red stripe on your car.

    . Handheld Linux OS + Phone + GPS + Camera + Multimedia Capabilities + Wireless + a frickin' laser = a single device (Flip phone size) ... (okay maybe the laser could be an add on) ... but hopefully within 5 years....
