Best looking Palm ever!! Sucks to only have 13MB usable memory though. What type of memory card does it take? Would be nice to be able to use the larg SD cards coming out.

Ya, but it only states that it supports up to 256 MB throught the expansion slot.

SD's come in larger sized, and new ones coming out that are 1GB and over.

I hope they support those.
