An update on sending Palm Treo 700p Voice Memo files to someone via email. What you say in your email does not work for me. I have the latest version of Quicktime installed from Apple. When I sent myself the file test.qcp, and tried to open it, here's what happened:
1. Windows identified the file as one for which it does not have a valid program association. I told it to use QuickTime to open it. 2. Quicktime bugged me as it always does by offering first to allow me to buy QuickTime Pro. I don't believe there's a NO FOREVER button. 3. Quicktime came back with an error message "Couldn't open the file "test.qcp" because it is not a file that Quick Time understands." The only option is OK. That's where I am. Did you do something else to get QuickTime to open these files?

I can't say I understand why, in a world where MP3 and WAV formats are prevalent, they would choose a format that would required QuickTime to be installed. I'm not a big fan of QuickTime in general. I find its user interface deficient and also find that it locks up and has other problems far more frequently than Windows Media Player or other Windows-based tools (even Real Player...). In any case, the number of steps required to email a voce recording from the native recorder is substantially greater than the number of steps required with this tool. If your model is to do voice recordings and keep most of them, mailing only an occasional few, the native recorder would be sufficient. If your model is to send all voice recordings to yourself or others, this new product would be superior in terms of the user interface and the number of steps required to complete the task.
