5.0 out of 5 stars a pda lifesaver, January 11, 2002

By	Eugene Mah "physics geek" (Charleston, SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This module is a life saver for any Visor owners reaching the memory capacity of their PDA. As with all other springboards, you just pop it in, and the onboard software is installed. Use FileMover to transfer some of those apps and files to the module and run from there. No need to mess with shuffling files in and out of RAM to make room anymore. Not everything will run from the Flash module, but you can usually offload enough of it to free up several MB of RAM.

Next to some of the other memory expansion modules like the Hagiwara 16 MB or the memory card adaptors, an extra 8 MB seems puny, but that's what I thought of the 8 MB limit in the PDA itself. It's taken me a year to collect enough apps and data that are useful enough to warrant keeping on my Visor fulltime. Now I need more room, and this card does the trick.

2.0 out of 5 stars not as portable as one would think, September 12, 2002

By A Customer

While this seemed like a great idea, this module did not work as promised. It was not removable and portable as the ad claims. I removed it once to allow a peer to try it in her handspring and when I tried to put it back, it no longer would work, and I lost all the files I had placed on it. Also, it now only says it has 2MB of memory, and can't hold much of anything worthwhile. My advice - if you need 16MB, then purchase a new PDA, that's what I'm going to end up doing. This module isn't worth the hassle.
