MEMPLUG IS THE BEST SOLUTION!,
By
This review is from: Portable Innovation Technology PIT MemPlug SmartMedia Adaptor Memory Card Springboard Module (Office Product)
I've owned my MEMPLUG for almost five months now and it just keeps getting better? How? The program PiDirect expands the usefulness of MEMPLUG. I had quickly run out of room on my 8 meg Visor Prism. Adding the MEMPLUG and a 64 Meg SmartMedia card, initially just increased my storage capacity but was cheaper than buying a 16 Meg internal ram upgrade. Then PiDirect was released in June 2001. The curtain lifted and the stage came alive with the abundance of programs I wanted to carry and easily access on my Visor Prism. There is still a fairly steep learning curve to using PiDirect, but nothing beats it for utility, stability, and price. It has a minimal drain on battery power when compared to Compact Flash cards. The Manufacturer, PIT, is the most responsive author of software out there with a tremendous customer service team that answers questions and troubleshoots around the clock, 24 hours a day. I never waited longer than 1/2 day to get a response to an email (usually within an hour). And, they upgrade rapidly in response to validated "bugs" and the practical "wishlists" submitted by customers. If you have a Visor with only 8 or even 16 Meg ram, you'll love this product.

Room to grow...,
By mdrd2b (New York State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Portable Innovation Technology PIT MemPlug SmartMedia Adaptor Memory Card Springboard Module (Office Product)
I highly recommend this product, but not straight out of the box. Out of the box you get a good product. A product that allows you to use smart media (or compart flash with another model) to view docs, photos, and back up you palm (to ease concerns of the dreading the possible hard reset). The programs that come with MemPlug to allow you to do this are more plentiful than any of the other modules in its league that I know of. What these programs are I will not belabor here (go to memplug.com for more details).The product out of the box, however, does not earn it a 5/5. When PiDirect is purchased (about $10 currently), however, is when MemPlug comes to life. With my 128 smart media card I now run over 20 MB of games and over 80 MB of medical software. PiDirect does this without flaw. Storing programs like SkyScapes Taber's Medical Dictionary, 5-Minute Clinical Consult, and DrDrugs on the smart media card (over 12 MB of info) and running it smoothly has made being a 3rd year medical student a lot easier and my pockets a lot smaller. One mixed note, the products and software are still growing to address customer concerns/suggestions. This means that there is room for improvement, but Portable Innovations has been quick to address these comments and get updates out to registered users. If they stay true to their initial efforts this product and company will have a bright future. Also PiDirect is not currently compatible with visors running Palm OS 3.1, so visor delux and solo owners are can not take full advantage of MemPlug's potential. This concern, however, I do not believe will be long lived if they pursue OS 3.1 compatibility with the drive that they had to make it work with OS 3.5 I hope everyone enjoys it.

Value Defined!!!,

This review is from: Portable Innovation Technology PIT MemPlug SmartMedia Adaptor Memory Card Springboard Module (Office Product)
I cannot say enough good things about Portable Innovations and the MemPlug. I am a gadget geek without shame and have used Palm devices for many years. With the advent of PIDirect, the MemPlug represents the best value in an accessory that I have purchased.I now have a Prism with 136mb capacity. I can store thousands of documents, hundreds of pictures, scores of applications and still have 70mb free. The level of service and communication that I have experienced with PIT is unsurpassed. If you have a problem with the MemPlug, they will solve it, even if it means writing code. It is almost worth the price of the MemPlug just to for the pleasure of experiencing their excellent customer service. In addition to the additional memory, the MemPlug has a backup app and gMovie, which allows you to run big movies directly from the card. If you have a digital camera, you can take the media out of the camera and slip it in the Prism to look at the pics. If you are looking to expand the capacity of your Handspring unit, look no further.
