That sounds quite plausible - yet I wonder what the point of changing
identities is. In its inactive state the PalmPilot can't do anything,
you have to throw it into "hot sync" mode before any data can be either
sent or received. Therefore, the identity of the device in that state
is never used.

I suppose the people at Palm know what they're doing...
