Comments on: Week in Review: Sept. 23 - Sept. 29
Three new applications made it a good week for people who own handhelds with expansion cards. PiDirectVFS can run apps directly from the cards and FilePoint 1.5 can help keep files in either RAM or a memory card organized. Avantage is a special-purpose app for storing AvantGo on expansion cards.
There was good news for people looking for external keyboards, too. The SnapNtype and ThumBoard are clip-on keyboards available now while the FrogPad is coming later this year.

Not entirely true

The statement above "PiDirectVFS can run apps directly from the cards" is misleading. It should read "...can run some apps..." I loaded the program and put Tinysheet4 on my card. The icon for Tinysheet showed up in my launcher but everytime I tried to launch the program it crashed and I had to reset my Palm.

Are you running any hacks like afterburner or others?

Be Careful with FilePoint if you use PiDirectVFS
IMPORTANT: I was using PiDirectVFS very successfully when I installed FilePoint 1.5. While I am sure FilePoint is a useful app, I didn't have much use for it so I removed it from my m505. Say goodbye to PiDirect; Hosed it! Had to hard reset and re-format my card in order to get it back. That's my $.02
