Re: iGuidance 2009 -- can only be used on memory card it is shipped on
I was for sure planning on upgrading to iGuidance 2009 until I learned of the memory card lock. Instead, I'm sticking with v3. It has annoyances, but it basically works, and swapping cards is far more annoying than the annoyances of v3. So a lost sale for me, unless I find a more direct workaround.
The memory card lock prevents me from upgrading to a 16GB card. I don't know what speed their 8GB card is. I would guess it prevents me from using Windows Mobile encryption on the card, which I can easily see myself starting to do as I use my PPC for more and more important things and if I set up remote wipe.
How ironic--the pirates get a better product. I hope, if and when cracks inevitably become available, that iNav lifts the memory card lock for the users of the genuine product, as it no longer would serve any purpose. (I am not trying to discuss any cracks if they exist, and have no information about them. Please do not send me information on cracks--I am not interested and it's against forum rules.)
