You can't download a new processor for your Palm.

What iebnn is saying is that OS5 will only run on PDAs with ARM processors. You can't upgrade a PDA to OS5.

Sorry.:(

If you download the OS 5.2 version, you can try out Graffti 2 and see what thats like.

It would be just as easy to "Install" PocketPC on a palm as it would to "Upgrade a Palm to OS5. Sorry but it just can not be done....well unless you plunk down the cash for a new Clie that rus OS5. That would still be easier than installing OS5 on a Palm that just can't/won't run it.

Just be happy with what you have.

An even better OS5 simulator would be to go to CompUSA, Best Buy etc and test drive a real OS5 Device. OK, OK, it's late I worked 16 hours today and I'm Cranky. ;)

There is 4.1. Another version is coming out soon, I think that is 4.1.2, or maybe it's just 4.2.

It's not really much of a reason to buy a new device or upgrade though (the new os4 versions)
