I ask´ed myself the question: Which bidder is the best on the market!?
And thouse features give me the answer…Hp rulez! I hope they will keep it on.

A little bit of post necromancy, but it may help someone who has googled for such info and ended up here (as I have)
I’m typing from a TC4200 and it’s refusing to even see my brand new 2Gb SD card; however a 512mb SD, plus 64mb and 1Gb mobile-MMCs fire up pretty much instantly (and the situation is exactly the same for my Samsung Digimax A5 camera). There may be updated drivers for it, but the standard ones and released updates as of about january 2007 (whenever it was i last updated…) only seem to support up to 1Gb.

Still, just how much Outlook data do you have?! My large-ish mobile phone PIM data runs to only a couple hundred kilobytes – could fit it more than a thousand times over on a 512mb card, and the QL operating system is probably 4mb or less.

I’ve discovered that if you have Outlook open when you install QuickLook, you’ll need to restart Outlook to see the icon on the toolbar

BassMan, there should be a QuickLook icon in Outlook once you install it. You can set an option to manually sync only or you can set it to sync everytime you start Outlook. You can also configure how much data to sync each time.

You mentioned the ability to manually sync Outlook data with QuickLook. How do you do that? Is there a readme file or some kind of documentation with this program?

Thanks!

I think I have the answers to the main questions being asked above.

QuickLook and cards larger than 512MB
==============================

If you look at the QuickLook Utility you will note that it was released in November 2003. Rather stupidly HP have not bothered to update it since then.

At the time of the release of the utility the Tablet TC1xxx series only supported CF/SD Cards up to 512MB.

Then later over a year later, in October 2004, HP provided a driver that allowed the SD slot to support SD Cards of 1GB in size. If the description of the driver update is to be taken literally, it appears that the Tablet is now limited to 1GB i.e. 2GB cards are not supported. I don’t know whether the driver for the new HP TC4200 Tablet would enable the SD slot to work with cards over 1GB.

There also seems to be a problem with some SD Cards. Users have reported problems with QuickLook but have found that when they change the brand of SD Card everything works fine.

If you go to the Business Support Forum, and look for the thread started by “roserast” and entitled “QuickLook for Tablet PC 1100″ you will find a detailed discussion of the problem. The url is:

Solutions
=========

I have installed on my machine the very latest BIOS. I am not sure whether the problem rest with that, perhaps
an oversight by HP.

Alternatively, the problem could rest solely with the QuickLook Utility.

A solution maybe to, if possible, partition the SD so that one partition is no greater than 512MB. I don’t have a
tool that can partition flash drives/SD Cards, so if someone else does they may wish to experiment and let us
all know.

2GB SD Cards
============

I am not sure whether the HP TC1100 supports such large cards. If as some users report, the brand you use makes a difference, then maybe if someone has access to a few different brands of 2GB cards they could try them all out and see what happens. It is interesting to note though, that HP don’t sell any HP branded SD Cards larger than 1GB.

As I suggested above, maybe a workaround could be to use the drivers for the TC4200 to enable support for large SD Cards.

Hope my info was helpful.

Good luck

trouble for me is the quicklook icon on outlook stopped showing up and i have tried reinstalling and can’t get it back. I think the program is great but it doesn’t work for me anymore. Anyone able to fix it?

Thanks for this great information guys!

I’d like to know if anyone got the Phoenix program working with a standard Tablet PC (such as a Litepad)?

Phoenix is the only program like this as far as I know. I really tried hard to get this to work on the U as it would be awesome on that device as you know. I worked with the Phoenix technical support staff but no go. It might be the small screen that was giving the trouble. Note that with the lack of a dedicated h/w button it must be invoked by the keyboard, and the included USB keyboard would not work, only a “real” keyboard would trigger it, after which it would error out. This on a U750.

JK – I figured I’d download the Phoenix program and see if I can get it to work on my U anyway. Is there anything else like this out there? A program like this would be awesome.

Vidge and Frick: I tested the Phoenix First Assistant software and it worked fine on a laptop but it would never work on the Sony U, even with a keyboard attached. It is essentially the same program as this HP Quicklook program and it’s a shame all mobile PCs don’t ship with this enabled.

Another user on the tabletbuzz site noted that there is software from Phoenix that does the same thing, except the startup is grounded to the “F” key. That does not do any of us with slates any good, but I have sent an email to support asking if it were possible to let the user map the start up key. Keep your fingers crossed. The link to the software is http://www.phoenix.com.

Somebody needs to make this work on the Sony U. I’d love to have it!

Rodney, the limit may very well be 1 GB. I’ve never tried one bigger in the HP, the one I’m using is 512MB which works fine. Search the HP site, they should admit that somewhere if true.

James, is the maximum sd card size permitted on the tc1100 1G? My 2G card can’t be read on the tc1100. Is there a new driver that allows >1G? Thanks, Rodney.
