Since VPL has flash rom, anybody here upgrade to Palm OS 4.0 successfully? If it's possible, I plan to buy a VPL in addition to my prism.

Some models of the Platinum and Prism may well have been built with Flash ROM, but I don't believe it has ever been established that they have the circuitry to support actually flashing the ROM.

Incidentally, there's an article over on Palm Infocenter (http://www.palminfocenter.com/view_Story.asp?ID=1736
) about Visor Edges having a Flash ROM. The article says it's not recognized as flashROM by JackFlash or FlashPro though

Flash Attack

You know there is probably a agreement between Handspring and Palm (3Com). It is part of the Lincense and development. I heard Handspring is free to help 3Com develop and design the new plam O/S but they cannot install it on a flash upgradable device for resale.

In other words the bull that handspring posted that they do not use flash rom because it is to expensive was hogwash.
