Oh yeah? Which C. City store is it Jacko? Or are you
just talking trash. The 610C is not suppose to hit stores 'till late August or early September?

Why do you have to be so damn hostile?
The only person talking trash would be you.
THe 610c IS out. SonyStyle HAS shipped them, People HAVE received them, And they ARE in stores.
Just go to the Clie Users Group on yahoo, there are Many who have 610c, and they've uploaded the MSEXPORT/MSIMPORT/PHOTOSTAND/PictureGearPocket 2.0 software for Other Clie users (700c/s300) to use. So you know what, You're the Jacko.

How long does it take to get approved to join the group? Its been over a week for me - what are they doin, a damn fbi background check?

Approval is automatic, so either you made a mistake or there was a problem with Yahoo. Go back to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CLIE_Users_Group and sign up again - it will probably work right away.

Zeeesh, what a bunch of uptight Clie users here!

Jacko poster merely inquired about where to get them; I saw only one intelligent response. All others seemed
to have a 610 lodged somewhere unmentionable.

The N610C has been available at RCS in NYC since last week. They had quite a few of them. The N710C is apparently selling very well; they were down to two and keep selling out they said.

BTW, the S320 is also out in NYC at RCS, DataVision, and CompUSA. SonyStyle didn't even have it when I checked. I will be visiting SonyStyle again today.

CompUSA Richmond has'm

They were in on Thursday. All that came in were the purple ones.

That's all that *will* come in. The Silver one is restricted to Sony website sales only.

Best Buy Has Them

I just got my 610 on Saturday night 8/4 at a Best Buy in a Chicago Suburb (Arlington Heights). All other stores in the area are due to get them by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, so they should be all over the place very soon.
I had to call every Best Buy until I found one that got the 610's on Friday night. It seems that every store will be getting 4 initially.

Mem Stick??

I.M. Anonymous @ 8/6/2001 10:04:10 AM #

Anybody know if you can run programs directly off the memory stick on the 610? This is the only thing holding me back from getting one. Is this feature inherant to OS4 or the hardware.

RE: Mem Stick??

Ed @ 8/6/2001 10:16:59 AM #

This is not a function that comes on the N610C; You will need to install third party software. You should look into either MSMount or PowerRun.

As with all Palm OS 4 devices, you will be able to run applications off of the expansion card. Note that it is not running "directly" off the card--the system copies it to internal memory first, runs it from there, and deletes it when you're done. The process, however, is invisible to the user, as long as you have enough free RAM available. (This behavior is common to all Palm OS 4 devices, not just the Palm OS 4 CLIEs.)
