According to this article: http://www.zdnet.co m/zdnn/stories/bursts/0,7407,2423907,00.html These processors are not designed for Palm devices but for other "mobile internet devices". Interesting, perhaps this is due to the existence of low power CPUs in the market already. It would be cool to have Mozilla running on my Palm though.
I have tried to figure out how the Palm VII works for a while now, since I got one for Christmas and I can't return/exchange the thing for a Vx (would be nicer).
Apparently, it's a cellular modem, probably 9600 baud. That's what people are saying anyway. It's definatly not a full TCP/IP implementation, it uses some propriatary things. This, however, is a GOOD thing here. Although you are limited to using only Palm.Net applications, since they charge you by the kB (ugh), it keeps bandwidth down. Otherwise, loading Slashdot once would consume ALL of your monthly bandwidth (and then some).
There's also a lot of debate over OmniSky vs. Palm VII. Apparently it boils down to either spending a lot up front (it will be = $50/month) for OmniSky, or spending $10/month + kB usage for Palm.Net.
I upgraded pretty straight-forwardly and had only minor problems (DHCP needing to be upgraded among them). I still am having problems with getting the kernel to detect my parallel port (others I've talked to have this one as well) and using smbmount (errors about needing Mount V6).
Maybe someone else here has a solution to this for ya as well. I didn't upgrade libc5 at all, things still work.:)

yep, it was actually easier getting my G200 to work with a Millennium II than that G450 in the article. :)

Actually, it's a Rage 128, not a Rage 3D. The Rage 128 isn't as fast as a TNT2 Ultra or G400 MAX, but it's not a POS either.
I believe you mean the new K7, not the K6.
