Ed, from MCS said that trere is a "Zoomer module" (or something like
that) that lets it run on the Zoomer. I would make two assumptions:
First, it would have to accept pen input from the Zoomer as that is the
only input method available. Second, I doubt Graffiti would work seeing
that Graffiti on the Zoomer is a GEOS geode. I could see Palm releasing
a version of Graffiti that would be compatible, but I would have to
assume that for now, Graffiti is not compatible.
