If I Have The Palm Tungsten T2 Will I Be Able To Use A USB Flash Stick (2GB) And CF Memory Card (1gb) @ Same Time To Give Me 3GB Altogether??? :confused: :confused:

Thanks... :cool:
 
I'm not clear on what you're asking. The T2 has an SD card slot. There's no such thing as a USB card slot. The T2 has no CF card slot so you can't use a CF card. The only thing you can use for expansion is an SD/MMC card. You can get SD cards of up to 4 gb's now so one card should give you all the storage you need.
 
I mean to save money, a 2gb sd card alone will cost me ?120 or so, wheras a 1gb card will cost only ?30, and a 2gb flash only ?50, saving me ?40, and i read that the T2 supports usb v1.1 and v2.0 so i assumed a could use a flash stick for extra memory... i only been reading for 1 hour so correct me if im wrong plz :rolleyes:
 
It supports USB protocols via it's hot sync cable only. There is no USB "slot" for a flash drive to fit into. The only additional memory you can add to a Palm device is an SD card.
 
No, you can't, because a) Palms are USB devices, not USB hosts, so you can't connect USB drives to it, and b) the Palm OS (before the LifeDrive, anyway) uses the FAT16 format for SD/MMC cards, so it's limited to 2GB maximum for any expansion.
 
Touch? , the feature you are asking about - is Usb HOST ability. Aka ability to connect usb storage devices, like Flash disk, or camera (drive mode) or mp3 player (drive mode). Unfortunately, no palm has such ability. Only some Pocket PC devices have Usb Host (not sure which though).

Even though fat 16 can support up to 2gb, Palm prior to TT5 and LD can only accept 1.5gb (even thought there might not be such capacity cards). So it might be that if you buy 2gb sd-card, you will only be able to access 1.5gb of it. I heard that there is some hacked fat32 driver for palm (taken from LD) - but last time i checked - it had some problems , like inability to write, but only read.
