I downloaded a Simpsons episode from ncoday.com and hot synced this to T3, Well here it is 90 MINS later and hot sync still says "installing to card". WTF!!!! My TG50 would breeze through this with sony image transfer. Why the hell is this new piece of hardware so slow???????????? So far not very impressed with this thing.

I don't have direct experiences with how slow palm's hotsync to card feature is, but I firmly believe that a card reader is THE way to go. I have one I got from walmart for like $20US and I wouldn't give it up. =) __________________ No sig for j00!

Perhaps it is set on the slowest speed?? __________________ "He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader.

We are talking about the sync to card feature which is slower than slow on every device with every speed setting. I'm sure this is slow even with your installation and your device.
