I picked up the Life Drive yesterday and was so busy couldn't even get it in the cradle until today.
Here are a few things:
OS is 5.4.8
PalmDesktop installation was an overwrite of the T5 and during the process it moved several programs out of the T5's backup directory and marked them as "Palm OS5 Incompatible Apps".
(CrashPro and Screenshot were the only two apps moved). Both I subsequently moved onto the device. Screenshot works fine. CrashPro launched into a disclaimer that it wasn't compatible with the version of Palm OS and shut down.
Heat - this might be a problem if you have it on and connected to the charging cable as the vents are on the back. It does get warm. Recommend a cradle with it which I have from the T5 accessories list.
T5 screen protectors fit perfectly and even noted to do so by P1.
This one - RTFM - is a must. This is a complex device and uses a new transfer method called LifeDrive Manager. This replaces the "drive mode" on Windows machines. If your Mac - drive mode is still the method.
Speed- the more often you use a program the faster it will launch. Agendus launches fine since it's my most used app but I'll have to keep an eye on this as I've been loading software most of the day.
The new power switch is "sprung". It's not a detent switch it's a three way switch that basically stays in the middle or on position. You push it to the right to turn it off and it returns to the middle. You can then "lock" it off by moving it to the left and then the switch stays in the left hand position to "lock" the current mode.
I'll provide more later.
