Can you change the primary field on the MS address application? There was
a review a while ago complaining about that. What I have found with the palm
'database' paradigm is how it frees one from the constraints and user
clumsiness of a real database. More work to code, granted, and there is a place
for the other, but I know that even on the desktop, my apps will never be the
same.
Palm is the only machine that has been able to make money on a handheld. The
next iterations we are seeing are smaller and cheaper. And I haven't found
anything other than smaller and cheaper that would move me to switch from my
trusty old palm3.
