-- Is there a standard way to handle huge storage Springboards? (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=5229)

Question

The Innogear MP3 player looks beyond cool, especially since they've said they'll make it able to work out-of-slot. One of the coolest features is the huge memory capacity with the ability to allow the Visor to use the storage for its own stuff.

I have a question, though. That's more memory than the Dragonball processor can access at once; will ordinary programs be able to read from it? If not, what API does it use? Is there a standard way for programs to access HUGE Springboards? If not, then there's a serious danger that every huge springboard will fragment the market by requiring special program support.

Hope I'm just paranoid... Either way, though, that puppy is COOL.

As I understand it, the Innogear player will not use the Visor processor at all. It has some industry memory pack(s) that you store the MP3s in and the player reads those.

I think you missed the intent of this post. Yes the MiniJam has a processor for playing MP3s but, when it is in the visor, the visor can use the memory on the MiniJam for file storage, not just MP3 storage.

Since the MiniJam has an application for transfering MP3s from the visor (after all, when you hotsync the get put on the visor first, then transfered, I think) I would expect that the same application would be used for file transfers. It may be similar in usage to the way the TRGPro does it, in which case it would divide the MiniJam's memory into 8MB viewable segments. I can only hope it works this way and allows you to run your visor application from the MiniJam's memory.
