<a href="http://www.pocketpctechs.com/e310up.asp">http://www.pocketpctechs.com/e310up.asp</a><br /><br />About 41 of you ordered the e310 through the Amazon affiliate links over the past few days, so I want to thank you for that. For those of you who wanted to get more than 32 megs of RAM in there, have I got some great news for you! PPC Techs, some of the most brilliant Pocket PC hardware guys around, have recently developed an upgrade for the e310 - you can get 64 megs of RAM ($129 upgrade) or even 128 megs of RAM ($279 upgrade) in that little thing! And if you use the code "pocketpcthoughts", you'll get $5 or $10 off (respectively).<br /><br />I've had several kinds of upgrades done by PPC Techs, and their workmanship is top-notch. I recommend them highly (no, there's no affiliate kickback here).

I wonder how much commission you make from each sales. Would you mind telling us? I would like to know how many I have to order to help you pay your bills... :D

I guess I shouldn't have added that wink - seriously, I make zero. They'll sometimes do free upgrades for me, but there's no money made by Thoughts when I link to them.

Jason,

You're right, they do good work. Before they merged I had my 3630 upgraded to 128MB by Times2Tech. Now that they have merged, I'm sure they're even better.

as someone who runs a website (www.flashenabled.com/mobile) there is zero money in linking to anything, even affiliate stuff. it's nothing, nadda, zip. when this site has a pay model (which it will soon) show your support that way.

cheers,

So can they upgrade the E-740 yet? I would jump on that in a heart beat!
How can we know the details of if/when the E-740 will be avail. for upgrades. IF the E-310 can be upgraded then the E-740 should be right around the corner huh?

Please post a reply!

Thanks!

Jason Dunn and pt,

Sorry for not being clear. I was asking about Amazon commission. You said 42 or 41 people ordered the e310 from Amazon through your affiliate link. So, I was curious how much you can make from that. I hope you don't mind me asking.

I will order two, but they have to be sent to my friends at Seattle. When they come visit this weekend, they will bring my e310's to me.

Aha - sorry for the misunderstanding. I've always been very open with people here about money issues, so I don't mind you asking. Amazon.com has varying affiliate rates, but they cap it at $10 on electronics, regardless of the total. So, if all 41 of those devices ship, that will be $410. That is by far the most I've ever made off of any affiliate link, so I'm quite pleased about it. Everyone wins. :D I always get less than that over a while quarter, so affiliate sales are not something I can really count on - but it's nice when they work.

I really want to help you. Since a lot of sites have CPU/RAM/Video Card pricewatch, do you think we could use a PDA/CF/SD PriceWatch? With the traffic you have, I'm convenient you can make couple thousands a month.

Would you be interested in such partnership?

Pls send me an email if you are interested... I have the programs necessary to do this.

That sounds like what Dealtime promised me - "a thousand bucks a week!". ;-) Reality: $147 in July from the Dealtime searches people performed.

But feel free to email me privately if you'd like to discuss this.

That post says it all. With all the price drops on the e310, whooo, now that is one smoking little device.

What's really cool on this system is that it is all usable by the memory manager!

Around the corner. Yes. But a little further out. The XScale processor only supports 64MB per bank instead of 128MB per bank as the ARM does. There is a way around it, but we've got a little bit more work to do on it.

It will be announced on the homepage, when released.

... would be a battery upgrade for the e310 to be installed at the same time as the 128M upgrade! Now, that would have Jason's affiliate link smokin', and I bet Amazon's stock price would tick up!!!

No such luck. We are looking into it though.
