By the way, theres an option to close (not minimize) programs when clicking on the "x" button, so theres always enough memory.

Is that a joke? Palm is dreaming! For that price, there are better choices to go with (i.e. Blackberry or HTC). The only way Palm can survive is pumping out more el cheapo devices like the Centro. Palm doesn't need to hire any more engineers, but they need some hard core marketing and finance guys to figure out pricing properly. AU$900 for a Palm? Is that a joke? Palm is dreaming!

With my HTC Touch Pro, which I do leave things running in the background, its usually around 50%. It'll jump higher playing back a large MP3 or video, the highest I've seen on mine is 78% when listening to a 60MB podcast, but it'll fall back off when media player stops playing the file.

We're supposed to get WinMob 6.1 soon too, so I'm excited for that. :) Just recently got the AT&T Tilt and love it. We’re supposed to get WinMob 6.1 soon too, so I’m excited for that. :)

I've been thinking of getting the Nokia E71, but this Palm is probably worth a look. Good to see project SOAK represented at Tech Ed!
