Mobile Digital Media (MDM), publisher of the Game Essentials Card, has confirmed their card is incompatible with Palm Tungsten T5 and LifeDrive. 30 days after purchase, four of the games on the card will expire, asking the user to enter an unlock key. The key is actually located on the game card, but cannot be accessed by the games due to the incompatibility.

MDM has issued this statement recommending T5/LifeDrive users return their cards:
