Agreed, but apparently not going to happen. A herd of cats comes to mind
. And it seems that, so far, the people with the most experience/skills/ability are least interested in the *duino route.

As you seem pretty set on the Palm, as do others, lets work with the Palm...

I agree with this, but not to the abandoning of other approaches. For lots of reasons already mentioned in this thread, I prefer the *duino/LCD standalone route, and I want to pursue that as well.
I have a feeling that it will be easier for a rank novice developer (eg. me) to eventually make a working
MPGuino than to develop the circuitry, interface & code for a Palm based gauge.
That said, I'd like to participate in/follow/possibly contribute to the Palm approach, since the person with the most experience wants to take that route.
I think we should probably start a new thread about it. E.G. to start with, those of us without Palms, will need advice on what to look for/avoid to buy one that will work with this project. (I don't have one/never used one.)

In the $150 range, I think.

The cost is currently
20,000 JP Yen. It used to be in around $160 USD but the US currency slide has complicated things. Currently it works out to
$200.81 USD.
