I assume the free versions are still free?

Also, what is the deal with the T|X version: free or not??? :confused:

If I'm not mistaken, anyone seems to be able to download it for free :) I downloaded it yesterday, and they didn't ask any questions, just took me the download page. Many people are reporting trouble with this version on the Palm TX, but I haven't noticed these problems.

It's a Java Virtual Machine and not a Java Virtual Manager.

HTH,

The reason I asked is because, iirc, the product page says that the T|X version is free but when you proceed to download, it claims it is a 6.95 charge. :confused: oh well, the t5 version works, imho

That didn't happen to me, I just followed a link to the product page (from an rss feed), hit the download button, and it downloaded. I did it via blazer so maybe I missed something, but still it did download. BTW it said it 1.xxMB when it was really 1x.xxMB.

Here's the link that was in the RSS feed. http://www.palm.com/us/support/jvm/download.html?AID=10468054&PID=645730

Do you think this will work on the clie devices?

[g-funkster]

People have said it's quicker/more stable.. I honestly don't think that's the case. It's just a sorely needed update, you can now navigate menu commands using the d-pad, on the 700+ series devices the Home & Phone buttons now work (in that they exit Opera), the Alt key on those devices now also brings up the virtual keyboard so you can copy/paste.

Probably more, but it just went from 5.7.1 to 5.7.2 so I wouldn't expect all that much.
