Summary: It does what it says... and thats it.
Review: I just bought the Palm m505 and this memory card. I assumed that it would triple my memory without a problem. I was half right. It tripled my memory, but only for applications that do not access other files. In other words, your Palm (and I assume any other device using this card) will not be able to access document files put on the card. Nor will readers on the card be able to access the normal memory. I use about 85% of the normal 8 megas on the palm and most of that is for documents and books. This card is useless for that. Right now I have installed everything that I can get to run on the card and its less then 1 MB. I have memory, but nothing that goes on it is very big and the big files wont work on it.I gave it 2 stars because it did do what it said. If I find a way around this dilemna I will love what it can do. Bottom line, it promises more then it delivers.

Summary: It's what you expect... if you know what to expect ;)
Review: The 16MB expansion card gives 14MB of additional storage space (talk about rounding up!). It's never fallen out, even when my Palm fell out of my pocket and onto the pavement (proving that the m505 can survive a 3-foot fall). Yes, it's slower than running programs directly from my m505, but isn't that what you'd expect from a removable storage medium? It doesn't bother me, since I simply store the stuff I use the most on my Palm and the rest on my card. I've been able to run the packaged PhotoSuite program as well as a number of freeware programs/games off the card. Some stuff doesn't work, and that's annoying because it's basically trial and error, but with all those creative software people out there, it's just a matter of time before software compatibility catches up with the new Palm hardware. I think it's a bit pricey, which is my only real knock on the card. If you're expecting to add 16MB of fast memory, you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for 14MB of memory with limited but growing software compatibility, you'll be satisfied. Either way, Palm has us m50x users at its mercy, particularly if you're like me and bought your m50x knowing that you'd need more megabytes. But you paid for convenience and portability, and you got it. You can still laugh at those guys with Visor Edges that need more memory as they strap on that giant adaptor for their memory modules.

Summary: Good for your aplications
Review: This is a good product for store your aplications, the only bad thing is that you can't store databases on it.
