    Are Palm OS upgradable?

    I'm looking at buying a Sony Clie PEG-SJ30 which comes with Palm OS 4.1 and want to know if I can update/upgrade it to Palm OS 5.1.2. Anyone know?

    That particular Clie has a Dragonball VZ processor. I believe Palm OS 5 requires a StrongARM CPU.

    Ever since the Tungsten T NO actual Palm OS compatible PDA has had the option to upgrade the OS.

    Bluntly put, not Palm OS PDAs are OS upgradable anymore.

    If enyone says otherwise have them show you the actual upgrade availability, cause there aren't any.
