The pilot is more recent and smaller, but the apps seem of little help
(but you will now find some very powerful apps for the Pilot, check
out news:comp.sys.handhelds or palmtops) and it does not run GEOS.

except for the speed enhancement, there nothing more. Of course, you can
add Flash or SRAM (very easy and efficient), but the Zoomer appears to
be a (delicious because I like it) dead-end, especially because there is
no software development for it.
However, you will find some information about the Zoomer at:
http://www.grot.com/zoomer/
and at :
ftp://ftp.biostat.washington.edu/pub/zoomer/
and some files to download at :
