Most programs on our Palms take up more than that. Over time, the Palm has become much more than an organizer, and with that, its hardware requirements have expanded as well. No matter how much we try to deny it, you can never have too much memory. Even those who never thought they could fill a 2MB Palm are not maxed out on their 8MB machine. The greatest example of how Palms have affected users lives is that many people are already on their second or third device.
More memory is most often the reason why people have purchased new machines.
The question then becomes why do you need to buy a whole new device if you only need more memory. Until now, that was the only solution, unless you had an expandable device. For the early adopters with Palm devices, there was no upgrade path. The new FlashPlug from JKS technology does just this. The FlashPlug is 8MB of flash memory that plugs into the Palms serial port.
