I too am stuck carrying a Palm, and rarely even bother with my N800 because my EeePC does everything else much better. Until a real, robust, and syncable PIM suite is available, the NIT is just a toy.
This is the best conclusion there is. Nothing replaces a real native Palm OS device. Unless Garnet VM would offer full compability, manage sound correctly, wifi, bluetooth, hotsync, etc. I can't remember how many times I transfered all my stuff from my Sony
TH55 to another device ( N810 or other ), trying hard to get away without the TH55 and then getting back very soon to it, because I was missing too many features..

The real question is : can Access come out with a viable Garnet VM ? Is it technically possible at all?
