"IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND"-Palm Expansion Strategy Supported allNetDevices 05/04/2001
Palm's strategy to chart its own course on expansion capabilities of its handhelds received a boost Friday with the announcements of new expansion cards for its m500 series handhelds.
The newly released handhelds have a single slot that supports both Secure Digital (SD) and MultMediaCard (MMC) technologies. By contrast, Pocket PC handhelds typically have a Compact Flash expansion slot and Handspring uses its proprietary Springboard technology.
Viking Components announced it would provide flash memory expansion cards for both of Palm's expansion formats. It said it will release products that add as much as 64MB of storage capacity for the m500 and color m505. It also will offer 16MB and 32MB cards.
The company did not provide pricing or release dates.
