Perhaps a special compiler to write the programs for the PDA? Will the PDA have it's own "file system" like the memory cards? If it is even possible to develop for the PDA using the current yaroze libraries, will sony let us use the PDA compilers so that we can write our own PDA software to use? Speaking of libraries... Is there any chance in heck that there will ever be a library upgrade? Perhaps Sony could make the new libraries, and mail all the Net Yaroze members the new black and gold library CDs, and call the new library something like libps2 or something so that it doesn't get confused with the older library. Perhaps even make the black disc "smart" so that it knows if it's being sent a program made with the "new" libraries, or a program that needs the "old" libraries to operate properly. Net yaroze members have been begging Sony for something like this for months. While I am content with the current libraries, they do leave something to be desired as far as new prepherals go. -- 'Darco darco@NOSPAM@bigfoot.com (Replace "@NOSPAM@" with an "@" to email me) UIN: 1454810 (You can page me at http://wwp.mirabilis.com/1454810) Voria: http://www.datasys.net/users/stu/rquat/voria PGPKey: http://www.datasys.net/users/stu/rquat/pgpkey.txt "Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous.
