Binx, Because you seem interested (as I am) I called Switzer Communications and got this reply via e-mail regarding the new palmtop by Handspring called Visor... Just following up on the question you sent to Switzer Communication... Q: Will this product accept compact/memory cards similar to those used in digital cameras? A: Visor is designed for hardware expansion through a new architecture called the Springboard platform. While the Springboard slot uses a standard 68-pin connector found in PCMCIA cards, it has an unique specification that is different from PCMCIA, compact flash and memory cards. As such, it does not "directly" accept compact/memory cards used in digital cameras. For full details on the Springboard slot, please see the comprehensive developer kit available in the Developer section at www.handspring.com. There are two interesting related issues to the question you raise. First, a module built for the Springboard slot may choose to utilize a memory card. For example, a MP3 music module "may" have its own slot to accomodate memory cards to hold large quantities of digital music. And second, if you have specific memory needs, an 8MB flash module is available from our website. This is an additional 8MB on top of what is available in the Visor RAM. Hope this helps. Ausdauer
