like i have a card plugged in and it totally recognises it ...excpet theres videos and mp3s in subfolders on the card that it doesnt recognise... i want to be able to view my card folders.. and modify the files and stuff.... doesnt seem to have a plain old file browser.. can someone give me an idea as to a link i can use? Thanks!

Resco Explorer will launch/run files off the card by tapping them.

www.resco.net

If you just want to move/copy files around to the directories that the apps will recognize, then Filez (freeware - look on Palmgear) or Fileman (www.bitsnbolts.com) are basic file managers.

There's the Think Outside that Chukar mentioned (I think they have two models - a bluetooth and an infrared depending on which Palm device you have). There's also the Universal Wireless Keyboard from Palm (infrared).

Thanks!
Its actually same price minus shipping at bestbuy. i guess they are just worth $100 eh.

Couple more questions at the moment.

I'm trying to run lil johns emulator. and anytime i run a snes rom i get a not enough memory error.. even on a fresh start... any ideas?

and are there any programs that let me clear the cache or kill open apps.. like a task manager or something? should I run the emu off a card or off the palm me.

thanks!

If your running on a TX or NVFS device, you can use UnCache and OffFlush. UnCache is available for the unbelievable price of $5USD at www.palmpowerups.com and OffFlush is a free app by Alex Pruss, search the 1src applications forum for the link to version 2.0.

Softpocket is a great resource for all things PDA, but I bought my Palm UWK at Canada Computers in Toronto for considerably less than the 'usual' Palm price -

And just in case you ask - brand new and in its bubble pack....
