Is anyone aware if HP has approved the use of this flash card(s). When I
first heard of it, I was very enthusiastic as I thought that it was a low
power design; but the more I hear it sounds to me like it is just their
ordinary flash card. And that all they have done is simply done is
written a s/w driver to trick the OGO into doing something it was not
designed to do. If this is the case, based upon what I have heard
regarding power drain on pcmcia modems, I would think that
it would tear the hell out of the AA's.
