Jon, here is a link to the Franklin PDA I mentioned earlier... amazon.com It uses MMC as well for removable storage. Franklin was the leader in flash memory modules which were pre-loaded with such things as dictionaries, bibles, language translators and other reference material. This is an example of their original memory module for their "Bookman" device that sells at places like Radioshack... amazon.com Now they are also catering to the Handspring crowd... amazon.com I think the ideal solution is actually blank media, like blank MMC or blank CF, an then allowing users to subscribe to their content library and download from the website. This is the approach that Microsoft has taken. The logic being that you don't have to purchase a new module every time you buy content. The savings would be great and the consumer ends up winning in the long run. Now Franklin has to support multiple flash media... Message 15174573 I think Eli has had the right idea all along, just that nobody is sensible enough to sit down and listen to him. Aus
