Yes it's silly that palmOne didn't add more memory. But I suspect that if one adds an additional SD card the problem can be mitigated. This support answer *suggests* that newer applications can run from an expansion card: http://kb.palmone.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=786,E=0000000000094319069,K=8683,Sxi=17,useTemplate=Case.tem,CASE=8303 Given that many of these apps are new and or up-rev'd for the Treo 650 I would bet that many of them could run on the expansion card. I'm supposed to receive my Treo 650 tomorrow... I'll let you know if it's 'usable'.
