Do I need an adapter?
Judging by some of the comments, it appears that the Zoomer does not
eat batteries the way I thought it would. I was under the impression
that I would have the change the batteries every week or so but some
one recently posted that they changed their batteries for the first
time since February. What are people's experiences with an adapter
like? Is it worth getting one? Is there any reason why I
can't/shouldn't us a generic adapter?
Should I get SRAM or Flash RAM? How much will I need?
I know that SRAM is faster than Flash RAM and it needs its own battery
but are the differences beyond that. Does the battery make SRAM
harder to use? What about the stability of the data once the card is
removed from the Zoomer. At this point, I don't think I'll need more
that a couple of MB of memory. How accurate is this initial
impression? I realize that it depends on how much I want to keep on
the machine and how many apps I want to run but I just wanted to get
an idea of how much memory others have added to their base machine.
What should I use to connect to my desktop machine?
I've heard two good suggestions on the list. One of them was to get
the Palm Connect software and cable. The other was to get a PCMCIA
drive on my desktop machine. How much does each option cost? I can
see advantages and disadvantages of both methods.
The Zoomers are being sold by three different companies under
different names. I know that the accessories are interchangeable.
But are the machines identical?
I've had my Zoomer for a week now and I'm still having fun with it. I
can't wait until the Geos SDK comes. Some of the information I've got
from the zoomer-list has been very useful. It's nice to see that some
people are just as fussy about being organized as I am.
Thanks for the help.
