I bought it for my Palm m125 and it works super fine. The main problem is that manufacturers misinform about their calculation of mb's. It's called mebibytes. Yep, 1mb=1million bytes. Altough mine had 29.1mb(mega), my other card(Lexar) was 30.5mb(mega)...

Still, the price is twice an compact/smartmedia at the same size.

I wouldn't argue with the speed since I can't calculate fractions of a second. It seems inconstant from card to card. I'm going to check out if I can get something normal...

Being old enough (cough! cough!) to remember foot-square memory cards with a whopping 4KB (yes, KB, not MB), the fact that 32MB fits in a card the size of a postage stamp is just amazing. And this isn't even the highest capacity available!

I inserted the card into my Palm i705 (another Amazon.com purchase) and instantly quintupled the amount of storage I had available. I moved some large programs over to the card and used BackupBuddyVFS to do a daily backup to the card - if I ever lose the RAM away from my office, I have EVERYTHING I need to restore it right in the palm of my hand.

It works - what more is there to say?

Ok, I've looked around for the sizes in these digital cards, and I love them. About the size of a real postage stamp, 1/2 the thickness of a floppy, this little cards is SPECTACULAR. You incert the card into the expansion card slot, and on your coputer you tell it to install the files to the expansion card. You hot sync your palm, and walla! You're using your expansion slot!

SanDisk is the cheapest I've found. Viking was more expension and DO NOT BUY FROM THE COMPANY PALM! I paid $40.00 for a 16 MB expansion card when the cards are both made from SanDisk, just with different stickers.

Well, if you fill up the expansion card, expect a 2 second wait to load your files. If you are in a rush, this can be anoying, but considering its size, it's wonderful. I put my ebooks on my expansion card and when my card fills up, sometimes it can take approxiamentally 3-5 seconds to load my list of books. However, considering all the books on this card would exceed my palms memory space, I believe that the time waited to load them is worth it.

Great because it is very fast. I didnt really need 64MBs because I just dont need to hog that much and I didnt want 16MBs because I was woried about running out. This is just right. If you can fill up 8MBs of info on your PDA easily, you might want to get this. It will probably be all you need.

I bought a san disk 64mb for my viewsonic v36 pocket pc. I keep my games on the card and my pictures from the built in camera. The best thing about it is that it is the size of a postage stamp. The transfer speed is fast for something as big as a postage stamp.
