NetFront on T3

[Joel]

Tam Hanna has created a program that can allow your Palm PDA to appear as a Clie to programs. [details (http://www.1src.com/?m=show&id=963)]

hey hey, this is interesting, could it be any palm1 pda? or does it have to be the T3?
and if this works, that means that all the clie apps would work on it?! hmmmm that means i could use the clie organizer with it eh? sweeetttt....

[wondermind]

I just wonder if it is legal to use NetFront (or other software) from Sony device on non-Sony devices?

Either way, they dont really care, because T3 and T5 users really are not going to buy another browser regardless, and for people with 320 by 320 screens, the installed browser is usually fine for what they need.

AFAIK ACCESS licensed NetFront _engine_ (not a full browser!) for the Treo 650 only:

That does not mean T|T3 users are allowed to copy NetFront from TH55.

Obviously, they _do_ care. NetFront from TH55 explicitly checks the device manufacturer ID.

And what about Picsel Viewer? Other Sony apps?

That does not mean T|T3 users are allowed to copy NetFront from TH55.The same for the T5, and they have it fully liscensed for Cobalt. Im just saying they are a large liscensee, not that its necessarily right. For a T5 user, it might be legal, because though you say "core", they do mainly use that browser, with a different interface.

I'll be the one to say it:
Interesting how we still want to run like the Clies, even though they're doomed! LOL

NetFront IS an absoulutely killer browser so I can't blame them one bit there!
Clie Organizer would probably be very happy running on a device with a bit more horsepower under the hood, however. (Not that I'm a fan.)

Just remember, P1 told you that you don't want that stuff! :)

Is NetFront better than the Blazer 4.0 browser on the T5?

[Tam Hanna]

Well, I don't really enjoy NetFront for now. It is indeed fast, but makes a lot of rendering problems. I will give you a detailled review of my oppinions on TamsPalm soon!

I could really care less if its legal or not. typical sony to proprieterise there software so no one else can run it. thats what really annoys me about sony they make such great stuff and always finds ways to sour the experience (I'm a hard core minidisc user)

also so long as he does not use sony code or distribute sony code he is not breaking the law and neither are you (though RUNNING the actual sony program may be a violation)

Again who cares

Hey, Tam Hanna - thanks! Even though I can't use this program because I have a Zodiac, good work!

Anyway, are you going to update this so it is compatible with the Zods? Thanks!

[Tam Hanna]

Yes, I am already thinking about getting in touch with TapWave!

[Mauritus_]

It would be like heaven for other palms to be able to run these two as well Please Tam Hanna

[Tam Hanna]

Well, I have not yet received any files....
Something else-I am already getting this stuff signed for TapWave. Be tuned next week!

[Mauritus]

what do you mean by "Well, I have not yet received any files...." ????

and i have been waiting for that next big news!!
you have all my support!!!!

[Tam Hanna]

TAPWAVE DOES NOT REACT TO ME ASKING ABOUT WHAT TO DO TO SIGN!
I HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM FOR NOW....
Sorry, but that had to get out of my tortured mind. Nobody can be reached, nobody reacts to emails over there.... . Anyone knows what to do?

[Mauritus]

Nope, But if you wish you can ask for a little support from the people on the forums. they are really helpful!!

just have to post this in all of the forums, including the Tungsten, Zire, And Clié users that are arround. may be they can help you a lot better.!!!!!

just don't give up. we all are looking forward for your appl. is just that people are at times shy to post.

God Bless Tam

u can hack FtrGet :-D simple and tapwave-proof method. i can do it for you if you promise to make per-app config panel

[Tam Hanna]

Hi,
I will definitely attempt to get TapWave to sign the thing. And BTW, the successor of both programs is coming real fast(see in a few weeks or months, but for a small fee)!
