Amazon.com Product Description
Instantly transform your Handspring Visor into an MP3 player with the MiniJam Springboard module from InnoGear. Just drag-and-drop MP3 files from your desktop to the MiniJam using the included transfer program, then listen to CD-quality sound on your Visor--you can even read e-books and view images. The MiniJam is compatible with the Springboard external expansion slot on the Handspring Visor, which provides for fast, easy, plug-and-play installation of the MiniJam to the Visor. No software drivers or special adapters are needed. Using the included 32 MB and 64 MB MultiMediaCards (MMC), you can store 90 minutes of MP3 audio. The MiniJam comes with two MMC slots, allowing you to store up to 128 MB (using two 64 MB MMCs). It is compatible with both PC (Windows 98 or 2000) and Mac (Mac OS 9.0 or later) systems that support a USB connection. (Note that serial connections are not supported by the MiniJam software.) Transfer files from your desktop to your Visor with the easy-to-use MJLoader application. The MiniJam comes loaded with several multimedia applications. The MiniJukeBox MP3 player enables you to control all functions--such as play/pause, fast-forward/reverse, volume, playlist, and equalization--by tapping the Visor's screen. You can also access these functions via buttons on the top of the MiniJam module. Additionally, the MusicMatch Jukebox desktop application is included along with an upgrade code to MusicMatch Plus (a $19.95 value). You can use the included Peanut Reader to store and read e-books, newspapers, and magazines, which can be downloaded from Peanutpress.com (most books use only a few hundred kilobytes). You can also transfer photos and images to view on your Visor using AlbumToGo from Club Photo. Images can be viewed individually or in slide-show format, and you can easily add notes and descriptions to images and beam files to other Palm OS handhelds. You can expect five to seven hours of continuous playback time from the MiniJam. Note that when the MiniJam is inserted into the Handspring Visor, the battery indicator will not show the true capacity of the battery--it only represents the voltage of the batteries. For optimal use of your batteries and the MiniJam, do not replace them until the "low battery" warning message has appeared on your Visor handheld's screen.

 fine, useful and cheapest way to listen your favorite ones November 26, 2002
OK, at the beginning you don't receive many clear instructions about how to handle your mini jam; some problems to realize how it's the better way to use it, but finally when you get through you got a very cool little tool which is much fun than others (and comparatively much cheaper too -you don't use any battery at all!)The only handicap: it takes you about 30 minutes to load your music on it.
 Nothing but problems October 7, 2002
I've had nothing but problems with my minijam. First it wouldn't work when I put it in my Visor. It's supposed to just power up but it wouldn't. When it finally did, I encountered one problem after another. Numerous times I've had to reset my visor, Re-install the palm desktop software, reformat the MM Card because all the songs mysteriously disappear and the card is suddenly unformatted, and I've had plenty of fatal errors which required re-booting my computer. The customer support is okay but now I'm supposed to pay shipping charges to send back the faulty product to Innogear. So if you do buy it don't purchase it directly from them! When it works it's fantastic but overall it's a major disappointment.
Had Big Problems With Mine - Disable HOTSYNC???? WHAT??? December 27, 2001
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
The concept is great...the end result leaves a lot to be desired. For starters there is no installation info. Insert the disk and print out the Adobe instructions...CHEAP! Easy to install but you have to disable Hotsync on some...which was mine and it's only a year old. Then I would insert it in the back and it would play but when I set it down and I don't mean drop...set it down it would reset everything and give me a fatal error and reset my palm. Then I would have to turn my hotsync back on, sync up and try again. As for online help it's ok but nothing special. I don't recommend this product. If it's not built in already...don't add it.
