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.

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.
