@lazuli:
Well, not familiar with the palm/isilo stuff, but I'll say this much: If you can get them (by converting, or whatever) to display in e.g. FBreader, I recommend you try it; you can fit either more or clearer text in a native resolution screen than GVM's scaled palm screen.

I would use it mainly as a PDA and therefore I was wondering if Garnet VM could run most "medical apps" available today. To me that would mean some drug database, basic drug kinetics calculations and maybe reading some medical ebooks. Basically, all stuff I know the Palm TX can do. I don't need PIM. Do you think the N810 could do the job? Have some of you tried such apps on the device? Thank you very much for your help!
So PIM's a non-issue. To answer your question, I'd say the web browser (and perhaps some ebooks, if workable) on 800x480 would be one good reason... then again, never had a palm, so maybe palm browsers are overbashed; I'm relying on hearsay.
