OS 5.2 versus OS 5.0

[Unregistered]

Are there any big differences between Palm OS 5.2 and Palm OS 5.0?

I had been overlooking the TG50 because it has the "buggy" PXA250 processor, but a friend of mine has the same processor on a Pocket PC and he doesn't have any problems with it (I wonder why all those other sites called it a faulty processor) anyway, pricewise, there isn't much difference between them.

The obvious bonus is the keyboard, bluetooth, remote control feature and the only drawback I can come up to is the smaller RAM and the "faulty" processor (although it is an old generation processor compared to the NX73, UX series and TJ series)

Thanks.

The main application icons look nicer.

Probably just some minor big fixes and stuff

I think there is some updated security built-in. Now web browsers can support SSL in OS5.2. What exactly is buggy about the PXA250? I've never heard anything about that.

The PXA250 required using a slower cache/memory mode than the one optimal for performance (rumor is that there was a "problem" with the faster cache mode). Intel fixed this in the PXA255, so certain types of applications now run much faster at the same CPU clock rate.
