Laurent,
I think the biggest thing I lack is updated syncronizing software. I have
not heard good things happening on this subject.
That, in my mind would justify emulating a Palm, if the dates would roll
into the Newton packages, that is.
Now you could possibly use the Palm Mac Pac or windows packages to sync. If
the Windows app would see a palm...
I agree that there's nothing out there to replace the newt, right now. I
think a palm emulator would definately prolong its life.
