It takes at least an 8G card so it will be the same amount of memory or more compared to your Zodiac. Also the resolution is 800x480.

Yes, you're right about the resolution.
I'm looking at the N800. I don't need the keyboard. I
do need the dual SD slots.

Access bought Palmsource, the former OS division of Palm, Inc. They planned to make an OS for smartphones based on an embedded Linux kernel, using Palm OS Cobalt (the unreleased next generation of Palm OS) as the UI layer. What they wound up actually doing was implementing PalmOS Garnet as a Virtual Machine running on top of Linux.
They recently made a beta of the GVM that runs on the Nokia tablets available as a free download. Posts elsewhere indicates it works, with a few quirks. It includes "old style" PIM functionality included with Garnet, and can run a large number of extant Palm applications. The big issues thus far are screen size, uncertainty about hotsync, inability to run apps thatuse external libraries, and inability for apps running in the GVM to see expansion cards.
But if you just want PIM functions, it might be an appropriate solution.
