I love SDHC. What an amazingly dense digital media standard. I did
crank the 770 with one Kingston 2GB mobile MMC module. Ha! Yeah, but
that's all it will do. Cool tips and link on the 800. I didn't know it
had a Palm VM. Sweet! I wasn't looking forward to carrying my Palm
with me as well. This might do the trick.
