Handspring Releases SDIO Update for Treo 90
The Treo 90 is the first model from Handspring that has an SD slot. Until now, this only supported memory cards. Handspring has released the Treo 90 Updater 1.0, which allows this handheld to use SD Input/Output (SDIO) cards. These are peripherals that plug into the handheld through the SD slot. Handspring said specifically that the Treo 90 will now be able to use the palm Bluetooth SD card for wireless networking and Margi System's Presenter-to-Go presentation tool.
This updater will reflash the Treo 90's ROM. This means the update will become a permanent part of the handheld and won't be erased even during a hard reset.
In addition, it will fix a problem the Treo 90 had formatting some SanDisk 128MB SD cards and, as Handspring phrases it, "adds other behind-the-scenes improvements, typo corrections and edits."

RE: Flash ROM?
However, this doesn't necessarily mean you can run out and get JackFlash and use it on the Treo 90. It will be up to third-party developers to update their apps to take advantage of this.

RE: Flash ROM?
The Treo 90, which isn't wireless, doesn't have Flash ROM.
I'm confused too.
RE: Flash ROM?
I know Brayder Technologies is working on betas of JackSprat and JackFlash that support the Treo 180 and 270. Anyone tested this with the Treo 90?

Flash ROM?
"It doesn't have Flash ROM, which means the operating system can't be upgraded. This is no big deal because there isn't going to be anything to upgrade it to.... "
I'm confused...
