Hmm... Does Cliefiles delete associated databases? I guess I should have tried before I posted. Sorry. | Yeah, they took everything out the Apps part of CO. You can't delete, beam, copy, or whatever else is in the normal Palm Launcher. Strange.
No, ClieFile doesn't delete associated databases. You have to choose each thing you want to delete. It would be better to get to the standard launcher or a 3rd party launcher, since even if you knew all the associated databases, you wouldn't be able to delete the app's system prefs. |

Wow... seems very counter-productive for a first-time PalmOS user. I see a lot of "How do I delete an application?" threads coming up.

| 2 tips:
Someone earlier mentioned a slight hassle with McPhling tagged to a swipe in the virtual graffiti area. I've got McPhling mapped to "hold" and back button for "back", "hold" and push up/(short jog dial next to round back button) for the apps menu. Used the "custom" option to set it up. Works beautifully.
In an extensive TH55 review (at this site, I think) the author mentioned downloading a zip file to the memory stick, unzipping, and installing. But I didn't recall the how. Using the TH55 exclusively>>> Went to PalmGear, downloaded PocketTunes. Dialog box popped up showing where the zipped file would be stashed on the MS. Maneuvered to that directory with ZLauncher's File Manager. Nadda. On a hunch, tried Clie Files. Once in the directory, did a tap and hold on the zip file. Shocker (to me, may be old news to to you) >> I got a directory view of the files in the Pocket Tunes zip file. Checked the box for the prc and pdb files, tapped unzip, and the sucker installed to RAM!
Meanwhile, I'm enjoying my jazz tunes on the stereo speaker cradle.
Hot dang, I'm luvin' this device!

| TR, yeah, I love the fact that ClieFiles handles zip files. I check my email with ClieMail at night and in the morning, and a lot of times, I'll have a ZL beta waiting for me. Save the file, open Clie Files, unzip the necessary PRC, and I'm up and running so much faster than if I had to use a PC!! Very cool!! |

| For me, it's slowly but surely turning into ClieFiles usage, as opposed to my previous exclusive reliance on ZLauncher's File Manager. This whole zip-access thing came as a complete surprise to me, as I was about 2 minutes away from purchasing FlyZip or a similar app. Sony really should shout this feature from a rooftop.
Then again, I've yet to actually read the entirety of the pdf manual, so this may be "my bad". I'll do so this weekend, as I'm really curious to see if it's spelled out anywhere in the materials provided. If not for that one line in the review, I'd still be clueless! |

They (Sony) did in fact mention this fact on SonyStyle website and also in the manual & a brochure I picked up in a store a while back. I chose the word "Mention" carefully...Sony merely mentioned this feature (which I think is great) instead of actively promoting it. This feature would attract a lot more people to Sony in my opinion if they only knew about it.
Man..Sony just does stuff AS*S backwards sometimes. |

| I agree about the need for active promotion. I've been using PDAs for years, but only now have the freedom to install directly. It's so dang liberating!! Now, if we could just get 'em to cough up drivers for the older "classic" KB11 keyboard, I really could forget about the laptop while traveling . . . <sigh> |

Haa! That's a good one!
Getting Sony to do stuff like that is like getting blood from a stone. |

| Tip & Trick: Voice Recording Voice Record Button
Moose Man said, "great for left hander but ..."
Take the unit in your left hand and flip it over such that the screen is facing your palm and the voice record button is under your left thumb. Now push the button up with your left thumb and record away.
This is better for the right hander because the taperred tends to push the TH55 into your hand instead what happens for the left hander (Pop out of the hand). Left hander are pushing with either the right hand thumb in the flipped configuration or with the pinky finger in the screen facing up configuration.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Yes, I reversed the pictures for you.
The right-hander voice recording configuration. http://www.cliesource.com/gallery/s....php?photo=2661
For the left-hander, take the right-hander configuration and flip it along the vertical axis. No good picture possible. Left-hander, sorry about that.
Hope this help!
P.S. NetFront Tip and VG tips are excellent. Hoping to give back. |

winexprt and TR, I concur on the KB11 keyboard issue. I bought this unit to replace the laptop (Hint Hint).
Sony: If it fits, therefore it should work! Drivers please.
Has someone reported it to Sony yet? |

| Compatible Memory Stick Alternative? Does anyone know if there is an alternative to the (OUTRAGEOUSLY PRICED!!) Sony Memory Stick for the PEG-TH55?
I'm new to Sony Clie, but with the low price of SD and CF cards, what is better with Sony Memory Cards for Sony to price them SO HIGH?!

Lexar 64MB stick from my 665C works fine in the TH55. I do not use it more heavy duty stuff (like others) but it works for me. |
