Comments on: TRGpro Drops by $30

HandEra has dropped the price of the TRGpro to $220, down from $250. The company also offers a bundle that includes a TRGpro and 16MB CF Card for $225.

The TRGpro has held its value surprisingly well, considering it was released in October of 1999. Contributing to this is the fact that it's one of only two Palm OS models with a built-in Compact Flash slot. CF is the most frequently used type of flash memory and is significantly cheaper than most of its competitors. The other Palm OS handheld with a CF slot is the HandEra 330.

Yes, it's only temporary, in honor of St. Valentine's Day. If you really don't like it, you can register and pick any background color you like (hint, hint.)

Yup, when you consider some of the alternatives (electric lime, anyone? - I mean, what were you thinking?) red isn't too bad.

actually, the default is monochrome, so if you realy insist, it would mean that the site is only for monochromatic people....just read the articles, answer the poll and quit trying to make things into something they aren't...

sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...

yeah but the cigar comment came up when Freud was holding a large black cigar and discussing oral fixations and inter racial attractions
Really off topic I know
i still think he had some issues and was just in denial

Did you call them to request one, and see if they will order it for you?

TRG Pro Rules

I.M. Anonymous @ 2/14/2002 8:43:04 PM #
It was the best Palm ever and it let me keep all my add-ons from the PIII. With the newer H330 HandEra is on the right track to providing backwards compatibility for users like us. Now only if there's a color screen ... :)

I agree with you. A color screen with replaceable lithium batt will be nice. 320x4something should also be inlcuded.. CF and SD is such a great combination (since im using both =).

but since im used to slim...it wont buy me.

OS4 won't fit???

Ummm, let's take a look at what they HAVE stuffed into the TRGPro... (ROM Date 6/29/01)

* OS 3.5 and apps.
* CF Modem drivers.
* CF Ethernet drivers.
* VFS Support.
* Card access software.
* Backup/restore software.

And they've got 240+k left over.

What exact gain is OS 4 over this, from a user standpoint?

It seems most of the OS4 aps work fine as soon as the programmer figures out that maybe they should check for VFS support directly instead of just polling for OS version and making assumptions.
