I think it has more to do with the heap size.  The earlier/cheaper
Palms only have a small heap. The higher the amount of memory, in
total, the higher the Palm OS allocates for heap.  Hence, I think they
require Palms that have at least 4MB of RAM.

I think you're right that it only runs on 3.5; maybe that's where they
added the increased heap size for large memory models.

Pippy is cute, but I'd really much prefer a Ruby based one !!
