InnoPocket Springboard CompactFlash Adapter By Rob Zach 5/29/2001 The creative minds at InnoPocket have added another exciting Palm device to their lineup and in the process have heated up the CF Adapter market for the Handspring Visor. The InnoPocket CF Adapter is very similar to the recently reviewed MatchBook Drive but InnoPocket has addressed some of the concerns I had pointed out with the MatchBook. First the similarities:
These are the only striking differences between the CF adapters, but they seem to make for a nicer product. My major gripe with both of these products is the software. They use the same Flash software from Kopsis Engineering. The software collection allows for formatting, deleting and moving files, and creating directories (see the MatchBook review for more detail on the software). But these applications can not be run directly from the Adapter or from the CF card itself. For that matter any files stored on the CF card must be moved to the Visor's RAM before use. In my opinion this seriously degrades the effective usefulness of these products. The InnoPocket package includes the adapter and a mini CD-ROM. The CD includes the registered version of FlashAdapter and a HTML version of the user's manual.
Overall, the InnoPocket CF adapter is the best incarnation of a Visor CF Adapter to date. InnoPocket coming second into the market seems to have addressed most of the issues with the competition. Special Notes:

RE: Why don't.....

And it kicks asses.
YAAA!!!!
RE: Why don't.....
There are a LOT of Visors out there and they work very well. If I were building PDA add-ons, I think I would want to sell to the huge audience of visor users rather than the few early-adopter m500 users.
I would love to have a 500 or 505 but those things are waaaaay too expensive for the average person. When the greyscale gets a little below $299 or the color below $349, I think there will be lots of SD stuff on the market.
Mini-CD is a mistake
