RE: Haleluea (?)
I checked with the Sony store in Windsor about 2 weeks ago and they don't have any of they Clies. They never did, and have no potential date for release in Canada
Canada's Clie's
The closest thing that Canada's gonna get to a Clie is the PEG-S320. It's the cover picture of the fall SonyStyle.ca magazine.
Oh well, I guess you can smuggle one across the border:)

RE: 710 Owner Here
Come on people, let's be patient here. There WILL be an OS 4. It does no good to whine endlessly about something just because you don't have the patience for it.
RE: 710 Owner Here
The amount and volume of people upset about this whole 4.0 thing, without even knowing what Sony has planned, is what makes me sick.
RE: 710 Owner Here
"I am still as happy with my 710c as I was a month ago. I would be even happier if I had a 760c, but that would mean that I would not have had a 710c for the last 3 months. Given the waiting period needed to obtain a 760c, I am glad I bought my 710c when I did."
And to make a purchase today -- a purchase of anything -- you have to realize that there may be a new product announced tomorrow, and you have to accept that the benefit of owning today's product now outweighs the detriment of continuing to today's product when tomorrow's product is on the shelves.
I bought a new car last year, and the dealer has no intention of giving me a discount on an 'upgrade' to this year's model. But man, I still love my car!
RE: 710 Owner Here
As for me, I am staying with Sony to enjoy better things to come.
RE: 710 Owner Here
RE: 710 Owner Here
What pisses me off is not the update, wtf?? WHAT PISSES ME OFF IS THE FACT 4 MOS. AGO I BOUGHT THIS THING FOR THE SAME PRICE OF THE NEW ONE AND NOW MY MODEL IS OLD AND OUTDATED AND THERE IS A BETTER ONE FOR THE SAME PRICE I PAID.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ROARRRRRRRRRRRRR

RE: 710 Owner Here
It's my opinion, however, that even though this N760C has been announced, the N710C is far from outdated.

If it is a bug fix, then upgrade should be free

RE: 710 Owner Here

RE: My Amusement For The Day
The best part is there is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE between the 710c and the 760c except Palm OS 4.1 (notice the old 710c pictures being used on sonystyle.com to show the 760c off).
Anyway, you guys keep posting and I'll keep laughing.

Hello sunshine!

And if you choose any of the nav options while in that close up view page, the overview, specs, etc. all go to 710 pages.
Some bad webmasters at sonystyle......
Oh this is just great!
SHUT UP 710 owners! There is alot more you should be worrying about then a useless upgrade in the OS.
RE: Oh this is just great!
You won't need it anyway
Yell when you see OS 5.0 in months, not years...heehee
RE: Oh this is just great!
Uh...last time I checked JBBackup was sold through Brayder Tech and now through HandFort. If I were you, I'd bring it up with them and not Sony. How is Sony responsible for your impatience?
"If I had known that they were going to offer backup software in the future, I would have just suffered through data losses these past few months and not shelled out my hard earned cash."
And if I would've known that Palm would sit on their technologic laurels and introduce products like the m125 and m5xx handhelds, I would've sold my shares in Palm alot sooner. By your rationale, I should complain to Palm and demand that I be refunded the money I would have made if they ran their company a bit differently.
If you're that displeased with your CLIE, then sell it. Otherwise, STFU!

Hooray for the ignorant
Either you're a moron or you don't know what you're talking about.. or maybe both.
The upgrade is NOT useless, it allows the Clie to display the 65,000 colors on screen that it is capable of. Palm OS 3.5 does not support that many colors.
So how about you keep your mouth shut until you have something worth complaining about.

RE: Oh this is just great!
I bet if I told you that gullible wasn't really a word in the dictionary, you'd go look it up. Relax, we're on the same side on this issue. My earlier post was just using something called sarcasm. Go look it up.
Preorder?
If you order it from Sonystyle it says "ships within 1-3 days"
Which is it? Anyone knows?
RE: Preorder?
They expect the units to arrive next week.
So it's not here yet!

RE: MagicGate
RE: MagicGate
I'd still like to know if it messes with mp3s you've already encoded or if you can use a 128MB memorystick if you've already made the investment instead of buying a new magicgate stick. Thanks.
RE: MagicGate
p.s. Do you like my extremely technical term, "encryption stuff "?

RE: MagicGate
RE: MagicGate
Magicgate memory sticks are the same as regular memory sticks in every way except that in addition they can support Sony copy protected files, such as ATRAC. Unlike the previous poster stated, you can in fact play perfectly good mp3s on regular memory sticks, up to around 320 kbps I think.
ATRAC files are unwieldy and copyprotected and tools of the Man designed to keep us down, and if they ever become a standard then we're all screwed, but other than that, they are about half the size of a comparable quality mp3.
RE: MagicGate
760c is now online for sale (and in stock) in sonystyle
for purchase from sonystyle. It says usually ships
after 1-3 days. good to know!
You whiners got serious issues
RE: You whiners got serious issues
RE: You whiners got serious issues
Last time I checked, if I want to upgrade to a faster processor, more RAM, larger hard drive, I had to go out an buy those components. By your argument, every PC company should provide free upgrades every time they introduce a new system that outdates the old.
RE: You whiners got serious issues
There is more to OS 4.x than increased color depth
Not to worry though, the OS upgrade for the N700C has been anounced. The N710C upgrade can't be far behind.
RE: There is more to OS 4.x than increased color depth
3.5, has VFS. They wrote it and gave it to Palm who put it in
OS 4.0.
RE: There is more to OS 4.x than increased color depth
SINCE THE FIRST CLIE S300, it has VFS. Sony invented VFS for the Palm.
Palm then incorporated VFS into PALM OS 4.0 (same with 16bit color that Handspring made).
Clie 710 with os 3.5.2 HAS vfs.
Palm OS 4.0 has the "card" category because they built it into the shell. Sony didn't think of doing that, but if you look at silverscreen/launcher III beta, it can do the same thing on sony clies.
RE: There is more to OS 4.x than increased color depth
'seamlessly' with the add on memory like the TRGPro does?
RE: There is more to OS 4.x than increased color depth
No extra memorystick in Europe
I am out of memory on my Palm Vx and consequently out of memory on my £399 Clié even before it has arrived.
Bugger!
N760C and Macs
RE: N760C and Macs
Sony models that don't use OS 4, like the N710C, do require Mark/Space's The Missing Sync. You might also be interested in this app for other models as it allows you to mount the Memory Stick as a drive on your desktop. This works even with some Sony models that can't do this with a Windows PC.

I predict that Sony will BUY Palm just for the Palm OS
