So a Dell x50v with WM2k3 would be a decent choice (I'm thinking of
getting one)? I want the 480x640 res, and I want to be able to run my D
programs on it :)
Yeah the palm API... this is why I am working on a WinCE port and not a
Palm port, and why I'm willing to give ARM-linux a shot but I'm not
going to touch palm until the game I want to write is completed. It
seems like a lot of extra work in Phobos making everything work with
palm, when they might just switch to linux soon.
