 | Why does Palmgear nt work on the palm?
Hey guys!
Why is it impossible to download anything off of any palmgear link if you are in: Blazer, Universe, Opera mini, or copy the link and paste it into lget?
It just cruds out and doesn't download. Anyone have experience with this?

| In an even more bazaar twist, you gotta ask why PalmGear does not have a mobile device version? Browsing PG in Blazer is the pits

| Yeah!! Palmgear is quite lame for not having a mobile version of their website so that we can download apps!
If anybody figures out how to get it to work - do let us know!

| I don't know if it's possible to install NetFront on your Palm device, but if you can, then that's your solution. I can download files from PG with my Clié TH55.

| The issue is javascript: Blazer's javascript is not complete (I submitted this issue over a year ago). I assume the other programs other than NetFront and PicselBrowser also don't support all javascript elements.

| I have had probs with netfront in the past so it seems i am SOL. Thanks anyways ;-)
I shall just write down the links an' let good ole FireFox take care of things at home. If i decide to convert a old box into a server this summer (for mail, ftp, web, etc etc), i may whip up a better solution. (send a link to the server and have it mail the download to me, maybe)

| Another solution is the new Mobile Gateway from Google -- it basicly acts as a transparent proxy for mobile devices. That might fix the problem... anyone tried it?

| It is pretty absurd, at least they could have a token page that gives limited functionality

| Hey all. I can download off of PG using OperaMini. I set myself up with a 'Member Download'. I login in using OpMi (Blazer won't do it). Then when I download, it jumps to Blazer to complete it.
OpMi actually stores the login quite well. I can jump online in OpMi and usually do not need to login again.
I will note that sometimes the download does not work the first time. This is usually due to an 'autoflush' between OpMi and Blazer (I use ResetDoctor). I go back into OpMi and tap the link again the second time.
I agree that it is very strange that a site that is geared toward mobile devices is not itself mobile.
Hope this helps.

| I use OperaMini to kick things off for Blazer but use the 'Guest' approach.
