The best way to find the answers is to search the threads. I know that Legacy is a big game on here but search this site for the games.

Yes, you can put mpeg's and mp3's on here without a card buy you will be incredibly limited to your space on Internal Media. It's very easy, you use the clie converter software that came on your disc to pear it back in size to view on your clie. Works great. Yes, you can watch in full landscape but you will need to buy a card to view a film.

Check the threads on this site for 3.1. you may just get lucky....:)

Tv software (I am assuming you mean television.. lol) I use Gigapocket but you need a sony vaio computer with this software/hardware on it. There are other apps you can get but you will need to search.

Thats it for now.

remote software for TV's:

The UX's IR is _EXTREMELY_ low power making it virtually usless for this function. While there is software available that will drive most Clie IR interfaces to perform this function, you will find the range for the UX to be something measured in inches, not feet. There is absolutely no practical way to make the UX useful for this purpose.

for a good real time strategy game: warfare inc. http://www.handmark.com/warfare/

msn/icq and others: verichat http://www.verichat.com/verichat/index.html

For watching media, to give you an idea, I've watch Simpsons episodes that are around 75 Megs each, but you could probably get them down below 64 megs per 30-minute episode with a better compression choice.

Good luck!

For the music, you can simply copy the mp3 files to the folder "\Palm\Programs\MSAUDIO\" of your memory stick then you can listen those mp3 using the buildin audio player.

For the video, you can use Image Converter to convert the video from your computer to memory stick, then you can play the video by Movie Play. I suggest you to download the latest version of Image Converter 1.5 from the following official site instead of the Image Converter 1.1 in the bundled CD:
