Yes, where is the source?

The growth in volume suggests much more than just a 50% increase. 10 GB
sounds much more plausible.

Definitely. They seem to be making slow progress. In terms of software, very

counts as software at all.

I have always failed to realise why Palm users put apps on the SD cards and
then complain about speed. It is the data that ought to go there, or
rarely-used apps. Maybe an app (Desktop- or Palm-side) ought to help users
decide where to ship apps and data, as a matter of principled optimisation.
However, I don't know if the LifeDrive has any internal memory apart from
the RAM and ROM which should be separate.

Videos would be nice. They wouldn't appeal to me, but I know people who have
the lust for it.
