Since (I believe) Palmsource's Garnet does not support over 64MB internal RAM (am I right or has Palmsource broken that limit?) then will it be the T5 or UX solution, 1.9 GB of internal non-removable flash-on-disk memory... I rather get a big card than pay much more for that...

I followed the link to the article from here, and it appears that the "DiskOnChip flash disk" will only be available built-in to future Palm OS devices. Bummer!

Tapwave's Zodiac2 has the 128MB of RAM with Palm OS 5, so if there was a limit it's been broken for a while now.

I wonder if the next Zodiac's will incorporate this chip, and if so, if they'll have the 2 SD slots for my current 2 1GB cards. If so, I'm looking at a 4GB device next year.
