How about Zero and I have no intent to buy one?

When will they make a module that is memory which doesn't require a hack to move programs around and it just expands base ram? That is all I want... more base ram, no hacks. (I might have to send it off but ugh I litterally work off my visor, so it's hard to part with it)

When there is a "need" for a module I'll buy one, til then I will enjoy my Prism for the bright colors it provides. :-)

So far all the modules seem like gimmicks just to show the visor has modules. I have a cell phone. I have a digital camera. I'm not far enough away from music to need an MP3 player. They don't make a decent memory solution yet (imho). I have backup buddy. and I wouldn't buy a game on a module when I can get it cheaper as software. Nor do I need a modem... though I would like a wireless modem but it would have to fit in the slot without bulging, and not cost more than 50 bucks because I'm never far enough away from a PC to justify spending a few hundred dollars on something I already have that full featured (Desktop browser).

There are times I would love to have a browser (like while I'm DVD shopping and I want to look something up online realy fast), but it's not worth more than $50 to me. I'd actually spend 100 if it was REALLY good and had very easy to use email and wasn't hack-like... then I could lose my cell phone.

The GPS module seems cool but hell a lot of modules are "cool" but not "required" for my life, or take living to a new level. :-)

I do spend money on toys and gadgets (oh god too much LOL) but I get more mileage out of them. Not to say other people don't get a lot of milage out of there SB Modules, but I would rather spend money on other toys :-)

I would like a decent ram module tho. (Mem plug and those don't cut it for me yet... they are close but not quite there)

Regarding why I bought it... I bought the visor because as far as Palm OS based handhelds go the Visor is the best one (in my opinion). I'm not against the product, in fact, I said ", til then I will enjoy my Prism for the bright colors it provides. :-) "

Regarding the memory... The only way to expand the base ram is to send it off to tony. Then the "extra ram" functions as ram should: it backs up, it doesn't require a "mover" it doesn't require any extra anything, it is just more ram. It doesn't function like a "drive" it functions like ram. Currently the modules do not act this way. When a memory module does, I'll be the first to buy one.

Note also, that I recognise this is not a fault of the developers making the modules that require software tricks to function like a drive... I fully realize this is just the way the operating system is.

How about MemPlug with PiDirect. I know it is still in beta, but so far it is working fine.
