I've played with these two apps extensively so that I can publish articles on MP3 recorders () http://195.111.1.45/pda/mp3rec.htm) and memory card speed/power consumption (http://195.111.1.45/pda/cards.htm). I've found some nasty bugs in the two apps:

- WM2003's File Explorer is buggy: copying main memory to any kind of storage cards OR copying anything to a SD card is very-very slow. The situation was much better in PPC2002.

- Notes: A very nasty bug in the WM2003 (tested on iPAQ 2210) version: no matter what you set as the target medium, Notes will always save your voice memos first in the iPAQ File Store (with h2210 and using the highest-bandwith setting, 22 secs). The 2002 version worked OK in this respect - it filled up the available memory (or, in pre-2003 times, reached the 16MByte objectstore limit) and only then did it stop. Now, for some reason, it stops at 22 secs (in the 176 kbytes/sec setting), even when writing to main memory. Incidentally, this is the size of the object store on h2210 - the HP engineers may have done some major mistakes while converting WM2003 for the 2210.
