So this week I charged up my old Palm TX, I’ve been mourn­ing over the death of Palm OS.   I enjoyed Palm OS, but even I’ve moved on.   I have to write my his­tory with Palm hard­ware arti­cle soon.   I paired the TX with my N810, after ver­i­fy­ing I could still get online with it through my phone.   The TX”s web browser is weak com­pared to the N810’s and other then a sync­ing con­tact man­ager (some­thing the N810 is lack­ing at) I have no real use for the TX anymore.

I was think­ing what I can do with it.   I may have sold my wife’s but I’m not sure I want to give mine up yet — so func­tional deci­sions.   I can make it a high end uni­ver­sal remote — maybe a TV-be-gone device.  What I decided I it turns out I can’t do — make it a blue­tooth file server.   Here is what I fig­ured, my N810 only has a MicroSD card slot, so it can’t read nor­mal SD cards — if I needed the extra space I could pop an SD card into the TX, power it on and access it via blue­tooth on the N810.

Unfor­tu­nately (like always) the man­u­fac­turer cheaped out on the specs.   There doesn’t seem to eb any­way to share files over blue­tooth on the TX.   I can access files on my phone from N810, but noth­ing on the TX.   So I’m throw­ing this out there to the world at large, does any­one know of a way to put a blue­tooth file server (for free prefer­ably) on a Palm TX (or Treo, or Lifedrive, or any blue­tooth enabled Palm)?   If so please leave a com­ment and a link.   You can also leave a com­ment if you think I’m insane also.

    For $15US you can get Blue Files, a Bluetooth File Exchange server. I can't seem to disable the prompt on the Palm to transfer files though :(
