http://www.unilinear.com/ for those of you who want to use PC cards with
your Palm. I don't know what a 'Q200' release is but last year they talked
about releasing it in March ('99). Another developer has a cradle that
allows a PC card modem to interface to the Palm, but I haven't seen much on
that lately.
the eyemodule for sale at: http://hs.palmgear.com/
http://www.socketcom.com/ for the latest CF cards.
I kind of agree on the Springboard issue but more from the standpoint of why
do we need another 'standard'. Whats wrong with CF or PC card. I think TRG
has the right idea. When Sony announces its Memory Stick Palm, I guess
things will get even messier.
