Do PQAs run on OS5?

[olo]

I tried one and got an error code, therefore I assume they are not running under OS5...

My question now is: are there any alternative solutions to catch up whith latest weather infos, currency updates etc pqa alike which of course can be used wirelessly?

Or do I have to go through my browser?

I am a newbie to OS5 so pls be patient;)

Sorry, pqa's are not supported (yet I hope) on OS 5. Your alternative is to use mobile formated sites like:

thanks both of you... yeah they need to get them fixed! PQAs are a quick, easy and efficient way of getting infos on the run...
AND most of all they are no RAM eating apps...

Unfortunately, I don't think pqa's will ever be supported on OS 5 pda's. The truth is that Palm VII and the i705, which is what web clippings were originally designed for, were not that big financial successes for palm. Thus I see no incentive for them to support a sys without any economic future. Besides, many pqa's have slowly been abandoned by sites anway. :confused: That too bad IMHO... But hopefully the advant of UMTS and 1xEvDo/Dv networks will reduce the need for pqa's in the future...

P.S. what's really funny is that you can get an app to get pqa's to work on PPC's :rolleyes: I hope I'm wrong and someone does develop a browser that works w/web clippings...
