Topic - Websites

Websites.  Yeah right; like that can be covered in a single meeting.  We did try however.  Sean brought a handout to the meeting which had a list of sites.  Obviously this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to available sites, but it is a place to start.  Below is the list for those who could not attend the meeting.

As usual the rumors were making there way around.  Palm will be supporting SD (Secure Disk) in the future.  A new CPU is said to be in the works.  Possibly the the Power Arm which is 150 MHZ, this could lead to compatibility issues with current applications. Palm OS for seems to be on the horizon.  What will it have in store for us.
