This is all just from my experience. Really, Brian should be answering these

All the apps do come up. They all seem to work: the right menus, prefs, etc
etc. None of the input methods work yet.

No. It actually doesn't even survive closing and opening NaPalm.

No input methods work yet. It does respond to taps and to the
bottom-to-top-of-screen stroke.

None yet. It's still early. One could get a ROM image and then add their own
apps to it by using Romeo, I suppose:

There's no settings yet, but right now it is set to 512K of RAM (since it is
using a PalmPro ROM)

Not yet... I suppose...
