Re: Treo 650 questions

It is alleged that Scott claimed:

> 1.) What is the max. plug-in storage available for the '650?

People have reported that the Treo can take up to a 2Gb SD card. Most
of those have been 60x or slower, many of the reports I've seen say
that faster than that doesn't work.

> 2.) Can one use the '650 as an external storage device to back-up files of

You can put any kind of file you want onto the expansion card. Though
if that's your purpose, you should consider getting a dedicated card
reader. There is also software that can turn the PDA into a card
reader. Works in conjunction with Windows, I don't know if it works in
conjunction with a Mac or Linux, though.

Conversion may not be necessary, depending on the media player you
install. The included one is very basic.

> 4.) Are there plug-in accessories available for features like GPS or FM
> reception?

Yes to GPS, I don't know about FM. Adding an FM radio seems like a
waste to me, anyway.
