Installing M-Business Client to use a secure digital (SD) card on your Microsoft OS device

On Windows Mobile Pocket PC 2003, Windows Mobile 5 and 6, and Microsoft Smartphone devices that support secure digital (SD) cards (flash memory addition for mobile devices), M-Business Client allows you to use your SD card two ways: you can install M-Business Client on the card and/or you can store synchronized channel data on the card.

Note

System access to data on SD cards is slower than access to data in main memory, so access to data or programs on an SD card will be slower than access to the device main memory. How much slower depends the speed of your device and the speed of the connection to the SD card—on newer, faster devices, the slower response may hardly be noticeable, while on older, slower devices, the slower response may intolerable.

On Palm OS devices, you cannot install M-Business Client on an SD card, but you can store synchronized channel data on the card on Palm OS 5 devices.

Caution

Use of SD cards with Palm OS devices is not yet fully supported in M-Business Anywhere version 7.0. The initial testing that has been performed indicates basically that the feature can be used, but it is less stable than the implementation on devices with Microsoft OSes. If you wish to try storing synchronized channel data on an SD card on your Palm OS device, see the instructions provided in the AvantGo FAQ topic linked below:
