View Full Version : On the browser prowl...

I did get NetFront to work for a short period, then 'something' happened and I had to do a hard reset. (Or rather my Clie took it upon itself to do a hard reset all on it's own...I swear it has a mind of it's own.) And as you know, after a hard reset you must reinstall NetFront and it takes 6MB to install . I really don't feel like doing all of that again.

I am interested now in trying something new. Can't find WebPro. Looked at Avantgo....does it work nicely as a browser? (Bonus, it is smaller than NetFront also, isn't it?) I know there is a 2MB limit for their channels, but does that effect browsing?

Any others out there worth trying? I don't want to spend much, so keep that in mind.

used Blazer (free i think) when i did not have enough space to get netfront on.. works pretty well.. but i must say i prefer Netfront and it is one of the few (only?) that you can use to download too..

Annie,

You can find WebProV here: http://leggnet.com/clie/

If not PM me: n2ifp at skyweb.net

No limit on browsing with Avantgo, Blazer is NOT free unless your a Sprint PCS customer and caan download it from the Sprint site.

There is PocketLinkII, but some have had trouble with it. Blazer and PLink both can be found on Palmgear.

don't forget Pocket Link. The 2.55 is pretty good. I have found that you will need NetFront to view Java enabled sites

Any idea why I keep getting a fatal when I try to go into preferences with webpro?? That's the one BIG problem I have, otherwise it is a great browser

I installed it and had the same problem. Also, it looks like it doesn't use the full screen.
