Well, I went to the mailbox today and found the free software that MDM was giving away a while back just for signing up for their newsletter (see the original post (http://www.pdastreet.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29684&highlight=free+software) about this offer from Moose Man).

I requested the Sega Classics pack. It looks, though, like it is worth just about what I paid for it ($0). The main problem is that it expects (and requires) the four way navigation hardware button that some of the Palm Tungsten and Zire models have. The games can't be played without it! :(

It also required a soft reset to once again recognize my normal card after using the game card.

Anybody else get theirs yet? Any better luck?

I received mine today -- the Atari Retro pack...

I have the same complaint regarding the setup for the 4-way buttons. Can't believe they didn't put in a setup screan so you can change which buttons do what. At least on the Atari pack, the the buttons next to the up/down do left/right and the outside buttons both fire -- so you can play the games, but its hard to manage the buttons.

The other complaint I have is with screan usage -- the game is played in only a small window (approx 1/3 of the iQue's total screen size is avail for the game), with a static graphic of an Atari 2600 and joystick underneath and an Atari logo on top -- what a waste

Didn't have any issues with swapping between the cards.

Also noticed that the card is compatible on Pocket PC and Nokia N-Gage devices too...

I'm glad postage was also $0!!!

How do you say "you get what you pay for" .. While not always true due to price mistakes, etc - It usually is true when done intentionally by a company.

I got the PalmPak Travel Card: Worldwide Cites card today. Popped it in and only 3 icons showed up... one of which was garbled. Tried start one of them and just ended up in a repeated crash loop... only way to get out of it was to hard reset.

Anyone else receive this card and get it to work on their device?

I got the Travel Card too. Two of the apps caused soft resets of my iQue. I haven't tried the other apps enough to see if they're of any use or not. It is true what they say: you get what you paid for.
