As many of you may know, except for newer Treos and the Centro Smartphone, Palm OS devices are not able to use High Capacity SD expansion cards (referred to as SDHC cards). It is not that the hardware doesn’t support this newer standard, but that these older devices would need a new Driver to be able to use them. Over the years, there has been many complaints about this, but there has been little action to do anything about it. Recently though, Dmitry Grinberg (of PalmPowerUps) has agreed to try to write an SDHC driver for the TX, T5, and Lifedrive devices. There is one catch, he’ll only start the project if 100 people or more, in good faith, say they will purchase the driver for $20 once it is completed. In this thread at the 1src.com forums, you can vote for whether you would pay $20 to buy the Driver to use SDHC Cards.

What are you waiting for, head over to 1src!

  1. What are you boys trying to accomplish? It’s common knowledge that this is something that is wanted…. What is this thread supposed to do? Dmitry has already expressed his disinterest multiple times, and what are the chances fo Palm, or anyone else for that matter, taking you up on the offer?

    Seems like a pipe dream folks…

  2. Because Dmitry said if 100 (or more) people say they will buy it, he said he’ll make it ;)

  3. Thx for this info, i will register immediately :)

  4. Hi,
