Anyone used Tony to upgrade a Platinum to 16MB? If so, what are the results?

Thanks.

Question Who's Tony?

For the rest of us who don't know Tony, could you please tell us who he is?

Smile Here's one, and he can do the Edge too!!!

It is in Japanese, however.

http://www.u-systems.co.jp/pda/exec.exe?html=memory.htm

It costs 14,800 Yen, which I figure to be about $127.00.

Interestingly, the cost to upgrade the Edge is the same.

Tony emailed me Friday night and said he would be able to do Platinums in a few weeks.

Cool This is GREAT!!

I sent my old Palm V to Tony for an upgrade in July. It came back quicker than I expected and has worked flawlessly since [my fiancee has had it since I first got a Visor in late '99]. Now that I have a Prism, I'd LOVE to send it in for the upgrade, but I don't know that I can be without it for almost a week He does very good work, though. and I would do it again... if I can get over the fear of no Visor [and no wireless] for a week.

Thumbs down

Better by for the same price (139$) a Hagiwara 16 MB Flash Module for your springboard from where you can directly start application. With the backup software 'JackBack' (19$) you can also use this module to backup your datas. Works great. If your screen will break you will get a replacement for about 90$ from Handspring. Will you also get your inside memory replaced ?

Thumbs up Anyone Upgraded a Platinum to 16MB?

Tony Rudenko's flawless PDA upgrade can be arranged at www.palmpilotupgrade.com!

Believe me, if I could live without my Prism for a few days, anyone can. Just get your hands on some Methadone.

Besides the quick service, Tony holds your hand with e-mail contact while your beloved PDA is in the shop.

He turned my Prism into a 16MB beauty that functions flawlessly.

How did we live without this before?

(Tony also performs his miracle on Platinums and Visor Deluxes.)

Did I say flawless yet?

FLAWLESS!

Bruce, The PDA P.A.

Note that Tony does not have an upgrade for the Visor Deluxe. His 8MB upgrade is for the standard Visor that comes with 2MB of RAM. This effectively upgrades the standard Visor to a Deluxe.

I know a site with interest.

I know a site with interest.

Mobile-Diary
http://kamakura.cool.ne.jp/mobiletake/

This site is the site of the Palm user of the individual.
He is himself and is making Prism and Platinum 16M.
Also, it makes public the technique.
When doing by his technique, Prism can be made 16M by it at about $30.

Also, he is exhibiting funny contents to the others, too.
� Platinum which can charge by the cradle by reorganizing a cradle and Platinum
� Prism, Platinum with Jogdial(Like SONY CLIE)
� NightRider & Jogdial of Palm m100
� The silk screen design change by the Graffiti Area
� NigahtRider of PalmVx
It makes public a way of either of the implementation and the answer seems to return if doing a question.

See by all means.

Thanks.
