The prices that I see appear to be the same as what I previously
remembered. Where did the price drop significantly?

I agree with what you mean. but in my case, using MapSonic
on a productive basis, the 32MB are un minimum for keeping
all my apps in the TH55 memory. With only half the memory,
I should had to install quite all my apps on the memory stick
(I like Powerun, for this purpose); with the 32MB, I can avoid
this, and keep the MS only for the large databases.

I think like you for the mp3, video, etc., which I finally don't
play on my PDA. Even with very very large memory cards,
and not speaking of their price, it remains a gadget, for me
and at this time, without cheap storage solution of a few GB.

there are those of us that really do need it for the pda. you may not need
it, some of us do. and i agree with christopher it shouldnt cost that much
to do so.

I have no problems with a dLink 802.11g router either...

I may have missed some of this thread, but does everyone know about Sony's
Wi-Fi update? It reports to fix connection issues "with certain wireless
access points".

Also if you are having problems connecting, try turning off powersave mode
from the advanced tab of the wi-fi network settings.
