Would It?  I had gathered that most of the low-end palm stuff still essentially thought of itself as interfacing via serial (the USB cables were essentially usb>serial).  I could very-well be totally wrong about this, but there seemed to be an awful lot of interfacing between homebrew hardware and various pal connectors.

When I first head that these were actually going to be released, my first though was that someone would be hacking an interface to a Twiddler or other one-hand keyboard pretty quick.
