Please excuse such a simple question, but I just switched over from the Sony NX-70V to the T|T3 today.

There was a program on the Sony that would make the memory stick that was installed on the device to come up on my desktop as a drive (MS Import). I have been unable to find such a program on the Palm. Am I missing it?

Thanks in advance.

Yep! You're missing it. I'm missing it. All of us former Clie users are missing it.

I got a PNY card reader at Best Buy for $3.99 after mail-in rebate. Sufficient enough solution for me.

Hope you find a cheap alternative, because it's a shame Palm didn't include something like MSImport.

Blessings!

Thanks for the quick response. Just thought I was going out of my mind. I would have spent the night searching for an obviously very useful program.

Check Card Export from Softick: http://www.synclive.com/cardexport/
$20, but sounds good. However, if you only sync to one computer, a card reader is probably both faster and more economical.

I use Card Export and it works well and have had no problems what so ever with it.

P.S.

Speed wise I do not notice a difference and using it saves a USB port as well as not having to take the card in and out :-)

This is really the only thing that I miss about my Clie. I'm a neat freak and Palm makes it so hard to organize your SD Card. I bought a Lexar Multi-Card Reader, and that kind of solved my problem.

I hope this helps.

In the unlikely event you are a Mac user, check out missingsync (http://www.markspace.com/missingsyncpalmos.html)....

I would also place my vote for a card reader.
Even though I have been known to clean up my cards directories via Clie Files, Filez, McFile, ProgManager, when I need to see the big picture I always revert back to a card reader.
I dont know but there is something to seeing it in explorer on my monitor,
Could only be because it is so familiar to me that it brings clarity.

I'm leaning towards a card reader, you can pick them up really cheap now. And also assuming you get one that 1. is small and 2. is "plug and play" with Win2k/WinXP - not needing drivers you can take it with you if you need to put stuff on the card away from your main PC.
