This is not possible because of incompatible processor, memory configuration, screen, etc, etc...

If Palm OS was so great, Palm wouldn't be shipping so many models with Windows Mobile on them. The 650 was a fairly average device. You can now get a get a Treo 700wx on Trade Me for under $300. That would be a worthwhile upgrade.

I don't think the reasoning behind them shipping windows mobile devies is because windows mobile is good in anyway, my experience with WinMo is that I would rather be with PALM OS even though its really old etc, I think they just selected WinMo because it's the only option for a modern OS, with a large userbase, other than blackberry that they obviously can't get...
