PowerSDHC Released by PalmPowerUps

PowerSDHCPowerSDHC released by Dmitry Grinberg of PalmPowerUps.com fame.

Here's part of the information posted on PalmPowerUps.com about the newly released PowerSDHC for Palm devices, which costs $20.95 USD per device (and there is a trial version available).


As you may be aware, most Palm devices that do not carry a "Treo" or "Centro" brand cannot read or write to the new SDHC cards. This leaves everyone owning such devices behind in terms of storage and costs. SD cards top out at 2GB, while SDHC cards are available at 32GB sizes already, and 16GB cards can be obtained for less than $80 USD.

Palm Inc has repeatedly refused to write an SDHC driver for their handhelds. This has long been regarded as a lost cause by most Palm owners. Luckily Palm Inc are not the only ones in power to help. PalmPowerups to the rescue! We've been hard at work creating an SDHC driver for your devices. It is very difficult and has been one of the most complex projects we've ever undertaken here. It is made harder yet since each individual device needs to be uniquely supported and programmed for.

Today we're glad to announce that for for a small set of devices the driver has entered release cycle.

There are many benefits from this driver even if you do not have an SDHC card yet. For example with this driver the card access speed will grow very noticeably, and the card access will not shut off at low battery levels. And of course, now you have support for SDHC cards.

[...snip...]

Current version supports the following devices:
  • Palm TX
  • LifeDrive
  • Tungsten T5
  • Tungsten E2
  • Zire 72
  • Zire 31
  • Tungsten C

    [...snip...]


  • This is a feature / driver that a lot of us have waited a long time for. Until a few months ago, when Dmitry Grinberg announced that he would begin development on his own SDHC driver, most of us had given up on being able to access "modern" memory modules on our beloved Palm hardware. I'll definitely be purchasing a copy myself, and I'll let you know how it works on my Palm TX.

    FileFind 4.0 Released - Find Files On Your Memory Card Quickly

    "This program is one of the core applications I use on my Treo. Finding texts on my memory card now takes seconds rather than hours!" – Hubert Reinisch, FileFind user


    Tamoggemon Software’s FileFind is the only program that can search for files on the memory card of a Palm OS - powered device. Search criteria can consist of file names, contents, file dates, file sizes and a variety of other attributes.


    Dozens of customers have provided us with valuable feedback which paved the way to a better FileFind experience. Call awareness has made searching painless as incoming calls are no longer discarded, while a variety of folder search options allows faster searches if the exact location of a file is known.

    FileFind can now search for folders that bear a specific name.
    Furthermore, searches can be restricted to files in the parent folder for blazingly-fast searching.

    Call awareness
