Question TP + 16GB *micro*SD + PortableApps = Fast ?
Hello All!

I have found several threads asking how to make the TP appear as a USB Flash Drive. I currently need to carry a USB around for work. Is the Sandisk 16GB (only one I have found to date) fast enough to run apps from portableapps.com such as FireFox? My idea here was then I only need to carry my phone : ) I could leave the USB cable (that would also charge the TP) at work and buy another for home.

Thoughts, Suggestions, Comments?

Re: TP + 16GB MINISD + PortableApps = Fast ?
Mine asks me if I want to connect via ActiveSync or as a removable drive every time I plug it in.

I would be impressed if you can get a minisd to work in a micro sd slot

but as long as the pc can install the driver to see the phone that shouldn't be a problem. my laptop at work is too locked down to do something like that.

You could get a miniSd or even full SD card in there with a little modding. The cards are the same hookup, pins, etc, just different sizes.
