HandEra 330 Begins Limited Shipping
At least one webstore has begun shipping preordered HandEra 330s. Transplant Computing expects some of their customers to get theirs as early as Tuesday. Unfortunately, they have a limited supply. Company president Steve Emery said, "They (the 330s) are constrained right now and I am shipping on a first-come first-served basis. I expect to ship to all of my pre-order customers by the end of the month." He has already shipped all the units he has in stock and doesn't know exactly when he will receive more. "HandEra has not provided any specific dates for further shipment."
If anyone knows of webstores that are shipping the HandEra 330, please let us know. -Ed
When it was originally announced in April, HandEra said they planed to have it available by the end of June, first at Sam's Club and then HandEra's Web site, Office Depot, and other resellers.
Tech Data, who supplies many resellers, has an estimated time of arrival for the Handera 330 of May 31. Techdata's part number is 461539 (UPC 652977670545) and they are charging resellers $314.

Seriously, though, the 330 has the same speaker as the TRGpro, but it's in front and has a better echo chamber. So it's louder, clearer, and more capable than any other Palm device, but not mp3-capable.

My comment: WO HOO! Keep your tiny toys and MP3s, bring on the Palm I can get some work done on, the HandEra 330.
p.s. MP3s are nice. I listened to one once about 2 years ago.

1) get out more--enjoy the nice weather
2) contact your mother--take her out if possible
3) stop griping so much
4) get off the anti-Handera wagon--don't buy it if you don't like it.
Just a few suggestions for you...
Ok.....

need more convincing
I definitely want more memory, however I don't want =any= problems with the external memory. I want it spelled out what that memory will be able to do.
I have to say I'm not convinced that the external memory available for trgpro, handera, clie, m50x are ready for "prime time" running applications and storing data. I would want the external memory to be as functional as the zip disk is on my computer. They sell card readers for CF disks, however I'm not certain if a PC will be able to read the files on it if they were put there by a handera. Also, it would be handy to transfer docs, programs, and other data files to the CF reader from the PC, but not sure if that is possible.
One thing I like is the flip cover on my Palm IIIe. Does the handera, m50x, clie have a flip cover? Where are they thinking people put these devices? Either in a pocket or bag with other stuff. The screen is sensitive to scratching and needs to be protected when not in use.

RE: need more convincing
As a TRGpro user, I am very satisified with how it handles files on CF, which by nature, is very different from SD. CF has its own I/O control and use the same catergory of file system as your PC. I never had any problem transferring files back and forth between my TRGpro and my PC. I have 64MB card which serves both my TRGpro ( taking up around 16 MB on apps/data and another 16MB for 2 sets of backup) and my PC ( which I store data on a directory for my PC files, utilising the rest of memory). I am also using the CF card as the Palm application 'installer" when I need to install large database or apps. It is much faster this way.
TRGpro comes with a standard III series flip cover (which is the same size and type as your IIIe) Same for Handera. The stock "leatherite flip cover for Vx is not very nice" but there is a 3party flip from paralleldesign.com who did a very good job for a retrofit flip. There are other forms of "flip cover" for Visor too. As a whole there should be no concern of absence of screen protection - you in fact have ample choices in the market.
I hope this helps.

RE: need more convincing
From my point of view, there is definitely no need for external memory with only two exceptions:
1- MP3: you need all the stuff to be "just on device"
2- backup: it is better to backup to something you can touch to be sure you got the backup.
All other things can be done via (possibly wireless) internet connection. I can imagine installing files via internet (easy, isn't it?), even backing up some important files (via ftp?), or last but not least, some kind of "virtual drive" - storage room placed in the internet and accessible from Pilot via one tap in usual manner.
Maybe there are some solutions of this kind...

External memory
Moreover, the ability to backup & restore to/from a non-volatile medium like CF is immensely reassuring & indispensable.
Those who want to know more about what external memory/AutoCF can/can't do should join the TRGPro User Group at Yahoo's egroup. There are lots of helpful folks there.
RE: External memory
They also have the best collection of freeware apps that I've ever seen in their download section.
