Would like to give it more than 3 stars [Posted on 2002-02-23]
I would like to give Palm 5 stars for this product but in spite of it works excelent, I have to say that in the event that one card stops working 3 weeks after bought, Palm as a serious company confident of the quality of its product should have a minimun Warranty for this kind of accesories. Not the case. I decided to bought it after having Palms since the 3com pro model and noticed how important is to count with your data in the event of a Palm accident. Unfortunately, what should be a bullet prof device fails first than the device it was suposed to protect.
A Traveller's Best Friend- Protect Important New Contacts [Posted on 2002-03-07]
I bought two of these cards. Just like it is supposed to, this card only backs up your PDA's built-in memory, not your expansion card memories. The most important thing in my PDA is my built-in memory. It contains my contacts, my calendar and my encrypted PINs- I use an encryption program. I cannot afford to have these lost which is why I use a PDA in the first place. If my PDA is lost or destroyed I can buy a new PDA, but if I just entered several new contacts, appointments, or encrypted PINs since I last performed a HotSync, I have to reacquire that data. I carry one backup card on me at all times in a pill box- along with my other expansion cards- and swap it every week with a backup card I keep at home or in my hotel room. This way I have a week old back up if I need to check something I accidentally deleted without selecting "Save archive copy on PC". If my wife or I enter an important new contact, appointment, or encrypted PIN, I immediately use my back-up card to back up the data, instead of waiting until the next time I am at my computer to HotSync. Most people recommend buying a 16MB expansion card and using a backup program to backup your PDA. I disagree. Since the backup software is hardwired into the card and very simple to use, I do not have to worry about accidentally ruining the backup. This card is not for everyone. But if you have important data, the ability to buy a replacement PDA, slip the back-up card in, and instantly have your PDA back, makes this a life saver on the road. -Bj

Good but too expensive [Posted on 2002-05-13]
Eventhough it's good and fast due to SD card bandwidth interface, compared to MMC and Sony memory stick. Palm 16 MB SD card is too expensive. The price of [money], you can buy at least 32 MB or even 64 MB of Sandisk SD card from some stores. Moreover, 16 MB is not enough anymore when most of the professional palm programs are among 4-5 MB.
Overpriced, undersized [Posted on 2002-05-20]
This card is a sham folks, save your money and get a 16MB or 32MB MMC or SD card and download BackupBuddy. They offer two versions, a free utility that installs onto the card and the palm that allows you to do manual backups and restores. Or a very cheap shareware version that does automated incremental backups, encrypts the backup files. Both versions allow you to restore from the card without having to reload the software into the palm. I don't know why Palm choose to sell this card at such a high price... it seems like they took an MMC card and put a backup utility on it, and doubled the price.
Good for your aplications [Posted on 2002-12-27]
This is a good product for store your aplications, the only bad thing is that you can't store databases on it.
