64MB DRAM for executable memory, plus storage and support for paged memory.
You can buy a 640MB CompactFlash which consumes very low power, as opposed
to a 1GB micro-power-pig. In two years, you'll have PDAs with 256MB or more
of executable memory.

Only if the hard drives get smaller, lighter, and less power-hungry.

I am the same way. Buy a larger CF. I just bought a 256MB Viking CF for
<$100.
