The future of NetFront

[FunFriendship]

O.K....I am curious of one thing.

The NetFront browser is really good now but unfortunately, it cannot view webpages in landscape mode.

So I am wondering if future version will allow landscape mode and will the current TH55 be able to upgrade to the newer version of NetFront and be able to view webpages in landscape format?

I wonder if someone could make a program that could do a landscape / portrait toggle. I know PPC has a program like this, but I've never seen one for PalmOS.

However there is netfront 3.2 SDK, so someone could perhaps make netfront 3.2 landscape version to palm os with that SDK..

Netfront runs in landscape mode - that is on a UX50. The problem is not with netfront itself. Your TH55 just cannot run in landscape mode - period.

To answer your question. Yes, future versions of Netfront will allow landscape mode - on a UX50 perhaps. Yes, the TH55 should be able to be upgraded to the newer version if someone could get the .prc file but no, you won't be able to view it in landscape mode on a TH55.

lots of software already runs in landscape mode on the th-55. It isn't native like on the T|3 or presumable the UX series, if that's what you mean, so a landscape web-browser for the th-55 would be easily poosible I guess.

-YES, I THOUGH ALSO THAT IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO DO, BUT WHY THEY DON'T DO THAT OPTION TO TH55 IF IT IS EASY?

Even without landscape mode on the TH55, NF is the best Palm OS web browser I've ever experienced.
Other Palm OS machines WISH they could run this browser and cannot, so I'm happy with what I have.

The glass is more than half full for TH55 users!
