Without a driver for the Clie what can we do with it?

Yes, I agree that it would be nice, hello Sony...

Look how the CF=SD loads...from the side..leaving any SD cards that require other things, like cameras and headphones, useless as they wouldn't fit in the clie...

I don't understand Sony. "Whose does?", one might ask. It amazes me that basic items that would probably place the consumer market predominantly in Sony's hands are ignored. I don't comprehend why. At first the complaints were centered on the new OS. Now the Tungsten T can run the Noviiremote program but the NX cannot. We have only recently got a workable keyboard. I don't mean this to be a grip fest but I would love to have a FM radio for my NX. I want to maximize its use on trips. I am dedicated to my NX but the Tungsten becomes seductive when it offers the features I can't utilize in my Clie. If anyone knows if Sony has an FM expansion card in the works please pass on the information. A FM radio option isn't life or death but it would be awesome on road trips.

Someone was showing us that an SD Radio came out. In conjunction with the SD=CF card they wanted to know if it was possible. Its not for several reasons (as given above).

Forget expansion cards. How about a built in radio! It's won't be a great trip if you've got to take along your GPS card, radio card, flash cards, etc. I have a $5 FM radio that is extremely small and sounds great- and its not from any special brand. The antenna is in the earbud wire. It cannot be so difficult to put one in a PDA.
I'd rather carry this than an expensive expansion card.

I might get a PDA with the added function of a radio, but there's no way i'm gonna pay for some type of expansion card radio. I'd rather use my $5 radio- it's small light and convenient. It would be nice to have one built-in and, of all things put in a PDA, it should be among the first ideas. However, its just not worth buying separate.

No! No! No!

It will not work on the Clie because of Sony's proprietary nature, sorry!

i know that this is a totally different thread.. but i have also been eyeing the ambicom modem and peleca's drivers for dial up so i can get aol 3.0 working. I have aim working like a champ with 802.11.. but not aol.. so no email.... im a little afraid to go for it... any comments?

[mrbjg4]

I have one it works. Use compuserve classic. Have to do script login. Connection drops, but I think its the ISP as compuserve is supposedly not supported on palm.

[bobidinc]

so the drivers that are available here.. and the modem really work and doesnt cause the clie to lock up.. ive had some disasterous lock ups that killed all of my wireless apps..so im cauthious
