    Architecture of Palm OS
    At the highest level, the architecture of the Palm OS
    device, can be broken down into three layers :
    Application, Operating System, and Hardware.

    By Puthiyakkal Prince
    (www.tech2get.blogspot.com) 5
    Palm OS system software is designed around a 32-
    bit architecture.

    Palm OS does not use a traditional flat file


    system. Data is stored in memory chunks called
    records, which are grouped into databases.

    Palm OS applications are generally single-


    threaded, event-driven programs. Only one
    program runs at a time.
