Binx, we were mystified how Palm could be so successful without memory expansion... ...and now they (Palm) are being criticized for a lack of vision??? That argument doesn't hold water, I'm afraid. I read a lengthy article about Jeff Hawkins and his original designs of Palm computing. Simplicity and the lack of expansion slots was a key design goal. It also appears the author of the piece you posted doesn't understand the concept of disk drive emulation and on-board controllers... "Now Palm is getting into the act. Still, there are pieces of the technology to figure out -- for instance, the consortium must figure out how to make SD cards work automatically when plugged into a device, without the hassle of installing or removing software. I think SanDisk is terribly misunderstood. Ausdauer
