Backup & 8MB Flash ... File Mover Software Backup Software » Conclusion
Conclusion I really like the Hagiwara 8Meg+Backup Module. I spent a long time switching
between a 16Meg Flash Module and a Handspring Backup module. But since
I've been experimenting with Hacks my Visor Prism has Hard Reset itself a few
times. With the Hagiwara 8Meg+Backup Module I can keep all the big apps
and games on the 8Meg Flash portion while backing-up daily. I've gotten
very paranoid about Backups. You can't ever Backup too much, and this
combination module fits very well into my lifestyle.
The Hagiwara 8Meg+Backup Module can be purchased it from
PalmGear for US$94.95. The Hagiwara 8 Meg Module is $75, so once you add a
Handspring Backup Module for $39.95. So, if you buy the Combo Module instead,
you save $20. It may be a bit steep for the casual user, i think I'd
prefer it be $50 or $75 for the Combo. But still, for the average Joe, it may be
the only expansion module you may need since the Backup Application is included.
At first blush, the Hagiwara 8Meg+Backup Module may seem like an odd idea, but
it may be the module you keep in your Visor the most!
