I know this question was asked some time ago, but those little devices are
getting better every day:-)
The tungsten T3/T5 have 400MHz and 64MB, T5 has 256 MB ram; my sony has 200MHz
and 32MB Ram (o.k., not much).
Could ocaml (not caml-light) run on such a T3 or T5? Or just the runtime and
cross-compiling?
cheers
Michael

OCaml runs fine on a Sharp Zaurus (400 MHz ARM with 64 MB of memory);
the ocaml interpreter runs on the device as well as cross-compiled native
code. But of course it's running Linux, not PalmOS.
Porting the runtime would be the main obstacle, I guess, depending on
how much POSIX-compatibility you can get from PalmOS. I've also heard
rumors that Palm will move to an embedded Linux platform, so maybe the
answer is just to be patient.
