Besides, we also has a developer area to encourage other developers to add Memplug's support in their application. It can be expected that more and more applications will be develop by 3rd party to support Memplug's user.

Thank you for supporting Memplug.
We will keep Memplug improving!

I hope BlueNomad will add Memplug support for WordSmith (the best word processing app for PalmOS), because I have tons of large docs I'd love to offload from my Prism. Also, have you considered some kind of 'auto loader' capability similar to TRG's AutoCF functionality that automatically moves(copies?) apps from the Smartmedia card to the Visor when launched? I understand from reading the Kopsis CF Adapter mailing list that this is no easy task, but it sure would be a great feature!

For other 3rd party support, we has already put up the developers section to provide asistance and help. But maybe Memplug users can help in sending emails to those 3rd party to invite them to support Memplug.

For the autoMover, it is not an easy task. But we has already put it into the wish list of our future module update. Or maybe some 3rd party will do this job even faster than us.

Thanks again for supporting Memplug.
Memplug will keep Improving!

Well. noow that MemPlug peopel are on the boards.. (YEAH!)

Where's the edge?

I n the FAQ
"Q1 Which Visor model does MemPlug support?
A1 MemPlug supports all Visor handhelds available in the market, i.e., Visor Prism, Platinum, Deluxe and Solo.
"

probably other palces to. oh well..

GREAT PRODCUT! What I really like, is how indepth it is. How much software it includes etc. Seven though I HATE smartmedia, I might get this over CompactFlash. BECASEU of the features..

Confused?????

So I am kind of confused. Is the MemPlug just a bigger version of the backup module. Or is it like the flash modules that allow you to run programs off of it? To my knowledge, the ?Haiwakari? 16MB Flash module is the largest flash memory module out to date. Does anyone know differently? I could definitely use the space.

Me too!

I know it's wishful thinking but I hope "2-day service" leaves open the possibility I could have it by tomorrow(Saturday). Big thanks to kpochert for tipping off us VC members, because I had given up checking on its availability at PalmGear after several days of diligent monitoring.

If you're looking for the most pocketable and portable USB card readers around, check out the Zio line. They have ones for SmartMedia, CF, and MMC. Personally, I have my eye on the FlashPath Smartmedia Floppy Adapter as a lot of the computers I come across don't have USB ports or are running Win95 or NT , which don't support USB.

memplug shipping

PalmGear notified me that my Memplug is SHipping!

I live in Canada, so I had to order Global Priority for $8 US.

I guess I'll see what that means as far as shipping time.

From the genericmedia web site's gMovie FAQ:

>Does gMovie Player support sound?
>
>The current generation of Palm hardware does not have digital audio capabilities.

I wonder if they could be convinced to work with the MiniJam or SoundsGood APIs to
offer movies with digital audio for Visor owners...but maybe they don't think this is a
large enough market for them to bother with. Plus, with the MiniJam or SoundsGood
module in the visor, you wouldn't have all the extra storage of the MemPlug, so you
could only store small movies in the free space on your visor anyway.

Does anyone know how TealMovie handles audio?

I've got a question I hope someone who has a memplug can answer. While I'm all ready to order (as this seems like it's what I've been waiting for), I use the handspring tri-fold leather case for Prism to carry my Prism around as well as credit cards, receipts - basically as my wallet.

if the smart media sticks out enough to preclude snapping a cover on the Prism, will it also preclude me using my case (as the Prism snaps into a plastic holder built into the tri-fold case)?

If so, in order to increase my memory with the $49 memplug, I'll have to throw away my $49 case.

Accessing DOC / TXT from Card

Originally posted by EricG


No, you can use a stand alone USB smartmedia reader/writer hooked up to your computer, no need to transfer them to the visor's memory first. Good thing about that is you can play video's larger than 8mb! Yes, you can directly access the video's and pictures from the card itself.. From what I read, you will also soon be able to read text files directly from the card as well (no need to ever put it into your visors memory)!

You mentioned.. accessing txt files from the card. Where could I read about this.. What I want to know if I purchased the mem card now.. and this became availible would I need to purchase a new memplug or somesoftware or something? I keep large amounts of training DOCs and Spreadsheets on my Platinum. I would love to have them in directories on the card and access them through quickword on the visor.

If you can point me in the direcion so I can read about it that would be great. Thanks
Terry

Use with QuoVadis type GPS software?

Hi,
I know memplug needs files to be moved to the Visor RAM to work - BUT - with the QuoVadis (http://www.marcosoft.com) GPS software, the maps come in folders (a folder for a county). Can memplug directly store folders from a PC/Mac? The reason is this:
Lets say County A has a folder which has a file that is a Map of city X, County B also has a map of city X but it is a different map (even if the filenames are identical) and Quovadis knows the difference if all files in County A are loaded first followed by County B. BUT the filenames of maps of City X in County A & B are the same (so dragging into the Hotsync installer would give an error as it tried to over write). Now if the memplug card and software supported direct import of PC/Mac folders, it would solve this problem.
Any ideas from PIDeveloper or memplug users?

I hope everybody is as confused by the above explanation as I am :-)
