OpenZaurus 3.2 Released

mpeg4codec writes "I was surfing around to-day and noticed that the OpenZaurus team has released OpenZaurus 3.2 Final. It's rather funny, because the ``unstable'' version still reads OpenZaurus 3.1-rc3.1. Wonder why they released this version as 3.2. They say lots of bug fixes and some new features. Check it out at the OpenZaurus web site."

    Argh, this comes out JUST after I decided to go back to the Sharp ROM because of app instability and other problems. I'll probably stick with the Sharp ROM until 3.4 or so comes out just cuz I'm tired of re-doing all my to-do lists and settings (typing WEP keys on a thumb-keyboard is a bitch ya know?)

    To anybody who's using it:

    1) Does Opera work? I mean does it ALWAYS work without crashing on PNGs or other random reasons? I like it better than Konq, though I use both.

    2) On that note: does Konq install properly? I couldn't get it to install. I guess that's just me because everybody uses it.

    2) Does it come with any mail program that supports POP? Or POP+SSL? Does the stock ROM qtmail work with it yet?

    3) Do the Hancom apps still work? I love that full-featured spreadsheet.

    4) Do the tkc apps work (if anybody bought those)?

    I think OZ is awesome but no third-party apps, including original ROM apps, worked for me!!!

  2. I just got a Z myself... by RevAaron · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I got a Zaurus SL-5500 with the posting of the awesome deal at HSN a week or two ago. It's an awesome machine, better than I expected coming from a Newton 2100.

    One big beef I have: How the hell can I have more than one Opera web window open at a time?! You can on WinCE, and it sure seems silly for a Linux PDA with "so much more power" according to al lthe Linux and OPIE zealouts to not be able to have more than one browser window at a time. :P
