Handspring 8 MB Flash Module
More Memory Remember that programs that have data that changes should leave the data on the Visor. Because of this, File Mover warns you when moving any Prefs file to the module. I was also warned when moving over DOC files. Handspring also says that not every program will be able to read data properly from the8MB module. There should not be any problems as long as the data does not need to be modified. A word about battery consumption-- when running programs or accessing data on the 8MB module, there was not any noticeable battery drain. Moving data to/from the 8MB module will consume more of the batteries. It is not terrible, but I did notice my battery drop 10% after moving several megabytes of data back and forth. Working with Programs
Conclusion The 8MB Flash Module is
a very handy springboard that allows you to carry data that you may not have
been able to otherwise. Moving/copying data is easy to do, and the FileMover program is very easy to pick up --
in fact, the manual is only three pages. The 8MB Flash Module is not designed to be used strictly for backup purposes. However, by
using Select All and copying data over one could accomplish this if necessary. The only things that could be improved upon are adding a
Backup/restore for modified files and improving data transfer speed. Is it worth
the $79.95? If you need the extra space -- definitely. This is the perfect springboard for users that want to carry more data on
their Visor. ![]()
