We're in the midst of merging the hires branch into the main code. As
a result the next release of the viewer (chances are) it'll have the
hires code built in.

This is a known issue that I came across myself. The thing is that
according to Palm, it's the volumeRef value that should be used to
identify which VFS media a file lives on. Since the Handera 330 was
developed before this rule was established, the device doesn't follow
it. Infact, from a program level, if a file exists on either SD or CF,
it'll always respond with the same volumeRef.

I had produced a hack to fix this, and it worked. Later I learend
about this rule, and found out that my change would break any future
devices that would contain more than one slot.

Clearly, some sort of handera-specific code may be required if this is
to be permanently solved.

Well, patches are always welcome, but this is a known issue which I
think I can handle. I've just been trying to concentrate on the
sony/nr70 side of the hires code recently, now that I've found an
easier way to test/code for HiRes+ support.

Another known issue, obviously minor. In my haste to get it ready, I
made this mistake. For now all I can really say is that I can't have
it fixed until everything is merged, which may be a little while yet.

Another known issue. (See hires.plkr.org for a list of all known
issues:) .. Part of the problem is that I didn't have time to go
through and nativly port each form over to a 240-wide screen. I COULD
use handera's built in app to resize forms properly, but that function
isn't all that bright when it comes to images.

Thanks for your feedback :)
