Zire 31 shows wrong Palm OS

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

I wasn't aware that the two versions *could* be swapped - Palm OS 5 uses ARM
processor, and earlier versions use Motorola Dragonball CPU. You are
correct, current PalmOne site says Palm OS 5 for that model. Is it a very
early device?

Can't be that early - the Zire 31 is only, what?, 6 months old. Even the
original Zire didn't use PalmOS 3.
