Some will, some wont. In part, it will depend on how tightly the software
is tied to the screen resolution among other things. Some software will
precipitate a lock up and require a soft reset. Trial and error

Hello Jean,

Paul from palmOne here. If you'd like to minimize the risk of software
compatibility issues in your upgrade to the Zire 21, the palmOne
Knowledge Library article "Upgrading from a previous Palm OS handheld"
may be of help. http://www.palmone.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=12926.
Then just choose the "Other" link under the "What new device do you
have?" heading.

Best

Paul
