Nope, Palm generally only does point-release upgrades.  They don't build in 
backwards compatibility for major versions of the OS.  In addition, they 
switched from Motorola processors to TI ARM processors for the Tungstens, so 
the architecture changed substantially.  I don't believe the Coldfire chips 
they were using are capable of doing some of the things OS5 requires.
