thanks in advance.
"Some" programs can run at the same time, but the list is super small. The calendar program is one of them and the only other off the top of my head I can think of is PTunes.

A great example of a major downside to the Palm OS is when you are download a file from a website. The browser that comes with it, Blazer is really good and quite quick at loading pages, but the second you close it the program is completely closed. You have to keep that download window open and do nothing else on your phone until that download is done. Even if you get a phone call it will kill the browser if you choose to accept the call.

Ironicly, Palm was the first mobile phone OS that had a program that was able to play videos off YouTube and it is still the best damned player out there. I wish they would make a Windows Mobile release of that program.
