Upgrade?

I.M. Anonymous @ 5/3/2001 12:05:25 PM #

Hmm, I wouldn't even consider an upgrade if the SD memory card expansion worked like it should. I have a 64mb SD memory card that is about 1% full now because NO LARGE DATABASE APPLICATIONS WILL RUN WHEN INSTALLED ON THE MEMORY CARD!

What's up, Palm? The only upgrade I need is a ROM upgrade that will incorporate memory management features like better copy/transfer, partitioning the memory card, more seamless integration with existing software. I didn't realize that the Palm SD slot would be the bastard son of Memory Stick!

Should have gone Handera. That's what you get for choosing form over function. Cheers.

I think that the database problem will be fixed when programmers optimize their software for OS4 and the new SD cards.

You're right about taking function over form. That's what Chevy Chase said when he bought that stationwagon in one of the Vacation movies. I think that boat might have been the inspiration for the Handera 330!

As he said in the movie: "you think you hate it now, just wait 'till you drive it!!"

I thought the current Motorola Dragonball processors could only address a maximum of 8MB.

How do they accomplish a 16MB upgrade???

This is the new 33 Mhz dragonball. It will address 16 MB.

This thing sound badass! I'm glad I didn't buy that WorldWideWidgetWorks thing, this is much better. The great thing is that it will probably work with my future HandEra 330.

Peace Out

Whoa!.Who needs 340 megabytes on a visor? I don't know if I need it, but baby I WANT IT!!!

340 MB... Overkill?

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a waste of cash? For all the work needed to build a adapter for the microdrive, wouldn't it just be cheaper and easier to buy an old laptop w/ 1 GB of HD space that is designed to handle that sort of power usage? Besides, the only use for THAT much space is MP3s, and last I heard, it's just simpler to buy a Rio Volt and a CD burner.

Especially when everyone using Palm IIIs, Vs, and VIIs would like to see something to allow us the expandability of the m500 series!
