Quickies: 16 MB m505, $300 N710C, Red Cross, and More

Posted By: As Listed Monday, November 5, 2001 7:22:02 AM

Tony Rudenko's PalmPilotUpgrade.com is the very first to introduce a 16 MB RAM upgrade for the Palm m500/m505 and IBM WordPad c500/c505. It costs $140 for the m505/c505 and $130 for the m500/c500.-Tony

Circuit City is now selling the N710C for just $300. -Mike Cane

Veteran Palm developer Robert Jen is donating all proceeds from his shareware products through the end of the year to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. This includes Triv, the Palm trivia game with 5 game variations and over 17,000 questions, and the newly released BabyMelodyPilot, an application for babies, kids, and adults of all ages combining animated graphics with karaoke-style lyrics and almost 700 melodies. -Robert Jen

Many people have missed the daily currency updates for H. Martin's Currency freeware application. Thanks to Stefan Braunstein they are back and being updated daily and with a Web Clipping app from Hans Anger, they can now be accessed on the go. -Hans Anger

I understood the Red Cross to say they didn't want any more money for their Disaster Relief Fund and folks should give money to other Red Cross funds.

Can I print out the Circuit City page and take it to my local store and get that price?

You can even book and pay it online and pick it up at your local if it's available (and you can even check that !!!)

Now it's a 760C =)

710/760 difference?

jayhawk88 @ 11/5/2001 9:42:09 AM #
OK, the 710c has an older version of Palm OS than the 760, but are there any other differences? Does the 710 also have that additional MP3 decoder chip the 760 has? Any others?

hardware of 710c and 760c are identical. the 4.1 rom has audio player 2.0 installed, which, on the 710c you previously had to install manually. :)

$300 n710c = n760c with $150 discount and a warranty

Just an observation but it seems like a much more economical way to get a 760 and a full warranty. Seems like if your in the market for a 760 a $150 discount would make this worthwile.

Braunstein currency update

I'm delighted that Braunstein offers this service, but can't make it work so far. On my Kyocera Smartphone, which uses WCAs without problem, I consistently get an insufficient memory error. This with about 800k free.

In stock at CompUSA

Ordered one last week. My order is still in the "processing" stage though :(

Currency alive again!

geekd @ 11/5/2001 3:39:39 PM #
The freeware Currency program made my trip to Europe this past summer SO much less hectic and enjoyable. It's great to see it back alive again. We were in Paris at the Lalique store and my wife wanted some jewelry. "Honey, how much is 700 francs?" Whipped out the Palm, and had an answer in seconds.

Between Currency and MetrO (a freeware subway navigation program) our trip was a breeze. And, after that, my wife saw the value of the Palm and no longer consindered it "just an expensive toy".

does 16mb upgrade so important for m50x???

tiger_bb @ 11/6/2001 3:04:12 AM #
what's your opinion? how about using your SD/MMC card with ms mount/pi-direct?

i think 16mb upgrade for palm v or iiic will be more marketable and useful.

True, until there is other cards you want to use in the slot and all you apps go away with the memory card you just pulled out. Watch for cards for Bluetooth, cameras, etc... I'm not holding my breath when they will show, but my hopes are high. :-)
