.... give it a suitable simulator/emulator to allow it to run PalmOS apps or even proper virtualisation to deal with both Palm and winMob and it could be an nteresting world.

Actually Intel based Macs don't even require a virtual machine, they can be downgraded to running Windows XP or Vista natively by using Bootcamp.
