This month's PalmPower Magazine has a good article with detailed instructions for Making Expansion Cards Work for You. This will definitely help with my Clie since 63MB of the Memory Stick is just sitting there twiddling its thumbs watching the paint dry.

I couldn't get in to Schoolblogs for most of this week because it was down, so I'm catching up on all of the cool stuff I missed. One to watch is the Palm Pilots in the Classroom blog.

Tech firms fiddle with tiny keypads "To use the Senseboard, you slip a rubber pad over each palm. Sensors track muscle movements in your hand and allegedly can tell when you reach up for a Y, for instance, or across for quote marks. It's amazing that something like that can work at all. But it doesn't work well. Reviewers at Comdex reported that its accuracy rate was zero percent, give or take a little. For Samsung's Scurry, you put a sensor on each finger. A tiny gyroscope measures movements in the air and figures out which key you hit. Reviewers reported that this works better than the Senseboard, getting only about 19 of 20 letters wrong."

Sorry, Pamela and Kate. Guess I'll stick with my Stowaway keyboard, at least for now.
