Or that, by then, someone would not have released a better proxy-less browser.
So if that happens, or if Palm loses their DNS like what happened to Microsoft some time ago, what will my employer say to the customers? "I'm sorry, but our work is suspended because the company that made the palm is dead"?
I want to depend on as less factors as possible - especially when it's someone who's not receiving money from me, but just doing me a "favour".
Didn't you read that EudoraWeb can't show docs bigger than 21k? I tried Blazer too. It just didn't work.. the app run but it never loaded any documents.
I've got a Palm III at home and it drains my NiCad AAAA batteries pretty quick. I would have gladly used NiMH batteries instead but I can't find NiMH batteries in that size.
Tungsten comes with the Palm Web Browser, and you know what's stupid in it? That it requires a *beep*ing proprietary proxy to work!
Yes. The palm itself is not powerful enough to resize the images and render the documents, so they use a mandatory proxy that does the job. I don't know how fast it is, but it's really annoying that the palm can't connect directly.
I hate the concept so much because:
AvantGo has to do the same thing, and their proxy is overloaded and many times you must reload. I don't know if the palm thing is different.
What if Palm dies? Their proxy will die too and that will render the browser useless.
How do I know that it uses a proxy? If you look at the palm web browser page, you'll see on the bottom of the page that they mention that ports 8827 and 8775 must be open. I can't check if this thing would work without a proxy, because their browser won't work with earlier palms.
I should mention the Palm (III and above?) can do normal TCP/IP as long as you use a modem and not the proprietary web-only palm.NET service (I think it can even listen too but I doubt it can run servers), and there are a couple of palm browsers that access web servers directly without a proxy, like the free EudoraWeb and Xiino. But nobody seems to support them anymore and they got problems: EudoraWeb is very nice but can't load docs bigger than 21k, and Xiino is even nicer than EudoraWeb but it got a very annoying bug with radio buttons (when there are many radio buttons, it makes some of them selected).
I couldn't find any usable browser for palm which doesn't have the problems I listed above, even that I looked a lot. If anyone can recommend me one I'd be very glad, but till then I am really disappointed and frustrated at Palm. I bet that the browsing in the competitors (PocketPC/Zaurus) is much better.
Hi. I am looking for a girlfriend. For that purpose, I need to have a fast car, and a nice appartment too. Please give me money. I promise I'll make a much better use of it than those camel shepherds.
Did you check it? I can ask in another site too... Anyway, I'm grateful your PC at work is equipped with a diskette drive. According to their strictness, I'd expect them to block that too.
They failed! While Sony makes money on people running linux on PS2 since they need to buy the linux kit, Microsoft loses money when people use linux with xbox.. . although I wonder how serious that loss is. Does anyone what is the percentage of people who buy an xbox just for screwing Microsoft?
I saw your journal and wanted to respond on 2 archived articles. First, TheBrain - it really looks slick and lovely, and it even restored my faith in Java as a usable programming platform. BUT it's not useful enough. It's nice that you can link between things, but it's still limited. You only have 2 types of links: ParentLink and JumpLink. When you try organizing your thoughts in that thing, you'll notice that shortcoming. In order for that thing to be useful, it needs to allow the user to create link types of his own. Like.. a link of love, a link of hate, a link of job.. and stuff like that.
And that NekkidNerds thingie - do you work for it? It kinda sucks.
Have you noticed you hardly comment in/. articles? All your comments are in other's journals.
Anyway, I've got a question. In The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy TV series, do you get to see Fenchurch (The girl in the cafe) more than once? Do you get to see Arthur with her?
Hehe.. my sig looks like shit when you're not in UTF-8.
What a sexy logo they have! The girl just needs a minor nose surgery and she's done. That logo is enough for downloading the ISO (once the site stops beins slashdotted.. I hope they are allowing to download the ISO with BitTorrent).
I am looking for a girlfriend from Israel. So if you happen to be a girl from there who reads/. right now, please respond. Okay? (Is this highly unlikely?)
The article didn't explain what kind of power surge was that.. I mean, I'd have understood if it was a normal power surge due to an electricity grid problem or a lightning, but the guys are using a bycicle as a generator. How can you make a power surge with that?
I think that powering it with a bicycle is a silly gimmick anyway. They should use solar power like normal humans do.

Maybe Minix, but not linux.
Besides, it takes years to update the flash rom with a new OS, so it'll make switching between linux and palmOS tedious.

Hi all.

are you a guy named Vivian? First time I ever see that.. it also reminds me to call that Vivian chick - I gotta ask her out.
I read your last journal entry. What happened with your job? I was sorry to hear that.. and besides, how old are you, may I ask? ;)
You can answer by email if you want. Just reply here too with the first and last letters of your email address so I'll know it's you.
That does explain a lot. Thank you very much!
You are?
What new era were you talking about?
