AVAILABILITY: IN STOCK, usually ships in 5 - 10 full bus. days.

Britannica Concise Encyclopedia
AVAILABILITY: IN STOCK, usually ships in 1 - 2 full bus. days.As some of you alluded to earlier, the 2gb card is not available... and neither is the Britannica Encyclopedia, according to an "Advanced Sale Confirmation" (????) e-mail I received from Palm (even though the website indicates they are "IN STOCK"). According to that e-mail, these are "advanced sale items that are unavailable for immediate shipment." Wha???? Are they trying to tell me that they are going to hold off sending them until the rebate expires so they don't have to honor the rebates? but . This is just FYI, in case anyone's looking to order. I sent a reply e-mail with the "IN STOCK" availability from their website for each item pasted in it asking when they expected the items to "become" available. I'll keep you posted.

It's still a great deal that shouldn't be passed up! Thx again, OP.

P.S. Does anyone have an idea of how much room is on one of those software cards (dictionary/thesaurus & encyclopedia)? I've never purchased preloaded software on a card, but was wondering if both programs can be loaded onto one card (maybe my new 2gb or 4gb?) and the original cards can then be wiped and reused. TIA.

EDIT: The Palm rep said when items are listed as "advanced sale items," they are actually items not in stock at their facility, but at another facility or vendor. He said the availability is accurate and the "advanced sale items" will be shipped according to the availability terms indicated in the listing for each item - they will just be shipped separately. Hmmmm... if that's the case, then why didn't they indicate that initially? Sounds kinda fishy. I don't know if I trust their info, but their replies are prompt.
[P.S. Thx for the info, JB... and kudos on getting all your items shipped + a couple extra bucks in your pocket ]

Thanks OP!

Out for delivery today! Looks like my 2GB order squeaked through...

Popcorn50 said:Another question regarding the preloaded cards...

My son has a Palm (recently got it as a gift), I've got an older iPAQ... If my son doesn't appreciate the gift , would I be able to use the software on my iPAQ? I'm assuming I would not be able to use it due to compatibility issues, so I'll plan on forcing him to carry around some educational software , but I'm not very familiar with Palms and we've never really discussed software issues. Maybe one of you Palm-knowledgeable FWers can give me some insight. Thx.
u can not use preloaded softwares on other OS. they r specific to Palm OS. If there is one version that is available for Win CE then u can use it in Win CE.
Generally they have both versions.
but u can better check the compatible devices list and if there is some win CE items then it should work on any win CE system.

Edit: I think the answer is NO. All the list is for Palm OS device only. I could not see any card compatible with Treo 750 (which works on Win CE)

got the 4gb with a bunch of junk. Thanks OP.

(Sorry, I should have posted this earlier when I had to search all over for it.

Link to $15 MIR for Palm 2GB MicroSD card w/ Mini & Full adapters

You've got the rebate form, and you've made the appropriate purchase to qualify. Palm will have some pretty angry customers on their doorstep if they decide not to honor any of the submissions.

Thanks a bunch popcorn50. Really appriciate you posting the link.

Hmm, the coupon may have expired now? I placed an order 10 min ago, now it doesn't work anymore.

I got two emails. One for the 2gb and S/M/Y/B that states they are "advanced sale items that are unavailable for immediate shipment" with no dates and one for the dictionary that states it will ship soon.When I got the same e-mail msg, I got concerned about the rebate dates so I shot a msg right back (see below). Their CS is prompt when replying to concerns, but I don't think I can trust the information provided, specifically the highlighted info. I'm not holding my breath that the encyclopedia software will be shipped within the indicated "1-2 days" but, since the rep assured me it would, I'll make sure to call and complain in 1-2 days.
