I see them in the latest TigerDirect catalog for $499.99, but they won't work in my T665, so I won't bother...

Don't bother with it, it won't work for you anyway... If you're going for size, 128Mb should do mighty fine...

Depends, if the format in FAT16 trick works those sticks might work on all Clié has anybody done that yet, the thread has sort of died down.

Actually, it's not FAT16/FAT32. The sticks are formatted with 32K clusters, and at present OS5 needs 16K clusters for full compatibility.

OS4 won't work regardless. :(

The "unregistered" guy is just our local troll.

I work for Sony and can tell you that the new MS Pro product will not work with your 665. There will be a new new Dual 128 stick that will give you 256 capacity by utilizing an A/B switch. You can save data on one half and music on the other half. Hope this helps you.

It is very true I have seen them myself and they will be available within the month. They aren't actually 2 sided there are 2 small store clusters in side that are accessed by an A/B switch.

I've been waiting patiently for these sticks and can't wait to get my hands on one, but I wonder....why couldn't the AB switch have been electronic? Then you wouldn't have to remove the stick to select the second cluster. Just curious...
