It's been almost 6 months since I happily gave up my LifeDrive for my T|X, and in that time, I miss only two things about the LD. The first is the ~4 GB of storage, which meant I could carry not only all my data, video and Mapopolis maps but many MP3s as well. I just ordered the Transcend 4GB SD card from Newegg ($70 delivered, after $30 mail-in rebate), so that difference will soon be history.
The other thing I miss is a bit more difficult to fix, so I'm turning to this group for advice. With the LifeDrive, I could designate certain directories on my PC to be mirrored on the LD's hard drive. With every Hotsync, changes in both directions would be copied over, and I was able to carry all of my working files with me in native format (readable with Docs2Go). This was a good thing, considering that I am a very mobile worker. With the new 4 GB card coming, I once again have the storage space (actually more than I had on the LD), but the standard Hotsync doesn't have the capability to mirror files from my computer.
Is there a utility out there that can put this functionality on my T|X? Has anyone tested the LifeDrive software on the T|X, for that matter? I know Drive Mode has been shown to work on the T|X's internal RAM, but this is something different.
If this doesn't yet exist, it seems to be a great opportunity for a Palm developer out there (yo, Dmitry!), given that 2GB and 4GB cards are becoming affordable. I'd pay for it in a heartbeat.
Thanks, and I look forward to some hopefully good news on this. {Prof. Jonathan}
