Great thinking depret, never thought of flipping the Clie over like that!

I'm not sure where you're looking and I haven't needed to buy a MS in 6 months or a year, but at least back then, MS were always ridiculously high in the B&M stores. However, there were always fantastic deals online at places like Amazon, and the prices were equal to or better than SD. CF will always be lower since it's been out so long and it's an inferior technology in some ways (bigger, speed, etc). The Pro MS will probably be more expensive, but I haven't needed one of those yet, since the purple 128MB one fits me just fine.

Great tip! I was trying to figure out how to keep it from exiting ZLauncher every time I hit the home icon and going back to the Clie view.

I am a totally WiFi newbie. I bought SMC WiFi hardware back in Nov 2003 and never hooked it up because the Belkini CAT5 router worked great.

Anyway, the TH55 gave me a reason to pursue it.

Here is the network I setup. SMC technical was very helpful last night and we had the Cable modem DSL->SMC WiFi to my desktop computer running in less than an hour. I test my Internet connection speeds to verify that WiFi would not impact performance to the Internet I enjoyed with the Belkin router.

Earlier, I had configured the TH55 per the documentation and tried connecting the TH55 before calling SMC technical support in frustration (Not a TH55 issue).

I guess I left it on "connect mode" or something because when I turned my attention back to the TH55, google was on my Clie TH55. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.

I had trouble getting a good snapshot of the PowerPoint slide so if anyone wants it, I will try harder to post a good graphics.

Also, note the slower connection to the Internet versus my Desktop computer. They are both running 802.11b to the wireless 802.11b router. Thinking it may be the TH55 CPU under clocking on graphics during webpage download. Time and investion will tell, I am very happy with the results.

Why is the WiFi slower on TH55 versus PC? See the following thread.

http://www.cliesource.com/forums/sh...?threadid=43718

Also, read the FAQ.pdf on TH55 CD page 33 for how to turn off PowerSaveMode.

Hope this helps and enjoy the leap day.

P.S. FIA WRC, feels nice to help out and be quoted.

Another good aspect of the TH-55:

On the AudioPlayer, you no longer have the adjoining controller (like with the NX series) to go forward or backwards. You can use the buttons next to the scroll wheel (on the back).

Since I listen to MP3s on my commute and my old T-665 didn't work with PRO sticks I just ordered a 512MB Memory Stick Pro from Amazon for $160...That's really a good price since it's basically the price of 4 128s...Now if I sell 2 of my 4 128s after I get the new stick it will be even cheaper...

***Just change the MPEG file name to .MQV***

you can save the MPEG file directly to the MQ_ROOT folder! then rename it (either in your PC or on the TH55 itself) to "MOVXXXXX.MQV" (X = any number that sequencially followed the one listed before)!!!

then open the MoviePlayer, but the file u tranffered in will not have the proper name showing on the list (it will appear as "???" so u just have to figure it out which is which). after u click on the file if it's the supported resolution and file format, it will play! the only ones i tried so far are as follow:

Directly copy from PC to MS (about 10MB):
Video size: 352x240 (500kbps)
Audio: 44100hz, 16bps, 2ch (128kbps)
Length: 0:02:07
Bitrate: 637kbps
about 30fps

Directly downloaded of the internet (www.pocketmovies.net):
Video size: 320x176 (unknown kbps)
Audio: 44100hz, 16bps, 2ch (96kbps)
Length: 0:16:42
Bitrate: 97kbps
about 25 fps
about 12MB

Both of these run very smoothly and very nice quality movie (however u should disabled the resume funtion in the quicktime because it will cause the MPEG file, especially the first file, to not running smoothly). However, I have not test any other MPEG files with the different resolutions other than these 2 files.

I have also tried the same method with .AVI, .MOV and .WMV, but none of them work. Since, Sony originally not supported them anyway, but just wanted to try. hahahha--- Also, i do noticed that if u want to be sure which file will mostlikely works on TH55, u can just open up the ImageCoverter and add the file to the program (u dont need to convert it, just use this program to check the file that's all!). If it's not the supported format and resolution, the error message will appear!

Anyway, hope this help! let me know if u have tried with other resolutions and the result?

Sorry for bad English. (^_^") Thank you for reading,

I just realized that there are 3 different pen sizes for the Free Notes pen. I was switching so quickly between the pen, eraser, color and hand that I guess I never hit the pen icon twice.

rldunn

Going along with this, since I don't think it's been mentioned yet in this thread, but the eraser in CO is a smart eraser. You only have to hit each line once for the whole line to be erased, rather than having to hit each pixel. So, drawing a line through all of your text or drawings is usually sufficient to erase the whole thing and erases much quicker than doing a longer erase and trying to hit everything. So basically, make short erase strokes and it erases much faster, then you can easily clean up what's left.

Good point. I had read that somewhere (Forums here or Sony docs??), and use it quite often

Clietoris

I would be interested in buying those 128's from you if you still have and are looking to get rid of em.

PCMaven

I will be looking to sell them after I get my 512MB stick from Amazon. I used the Amazon free shipping option so it may be about a week or so...PM me if you're still interested and we'll talk.

Anyone know where in the states I can get a Bluetooth enabled Memory Stick? Has any company come out with a bluetooth MS that also has memory?

JOHNGAETANO

armyabn1,

I have one for sale. Email me at jgaetan1@neo.rr.com

This is just a bluetooth MS. It has no memory.
