> What about Palm Pilot ?
|
|
|
|
I think the answer still is "It should be possible, but in
|
|
practice the Palm Pilot doesn't have enough memory to make
|
|
it an interesting proposition, unless you upgrade it to non-standard
|
|
sizes." While it is possible to upgrade the memory (I think)
|
|
this means that the audience for palm/Python would probably
|
|
be limited to the developers of palm/Python and certain other
|
|
hobbiests. For windows CE, by contrast, many machines come with
|
|
enough memory (32meg ram/24meg rom in mine, with 10 hours
|
|
of uptime) to make python-ce interesting.
|
|
|
|
Hope I'm wrong, or the Palm folks change the situation. We've
|
|
seen this situation before in other markets and it doesn't harbor
|
|
well for the Palm Pilot (cool as it undeniably is).
|
|
Please correct me!!!
|
|
|
|
btw: gadfly runs on python-ce (with some mods) :) I think it
|
|
is the most fully featured sql implementation that runs on wince.
