In a nutshell, the Palm OS is not a real windowing system and requires certain tricks to simulate windows. While these tricks do well for a temporary 123 use, they are insufficient for a real keyboard (unless you avoid the problem by making the keyboard full-screen, which is atrocious when entering addresses).
Perhaps Palm OS 6 or 7 will allow real windows... Perhaps by them all Palms will follow the Sony example of a Virtual Graffiti area and the problem will disappear.
I love fitaly - can't imagine not using it - but it seems a little crazy to have to tape this 25 cent template on my $500 handheld.
Maybe both the TT and the Stamp should be repriced at $250. No objection :-))
Does the majority really prefer Stamp to the original?
Opinions vary. The majority likes the fact that no screen space is preempted. There is also a vocal minority.
And how well does this template play with the slider on the Tungsten?
This works very well. (Actually, I wished someone marketed a plastic clip to keep the TT open.
