Strange...
Odd as odd can be!
If a trial was available, I could work out whether I could live with whatever issue it is holds them back from supporting the T|3.
Weird that they're cutting themselves out of such a large chunk of the market.

it seems they want to make it a big succes.
probably done like that on purpose

They're kidding, right?
I'm really not all that familiar with the product, but it seems to me that currently included software on my TX, plus the addition of the freeware PalmPDF will do all the tasks this will.
But I'll never know for sure with no demo.

I think this app needs way more testing & shaking out before it's ready for primetime competition with DTG.

I do love the new accounts that seem to pop up on the day of a software release with nothing but glowing marketing speak for the product.
Not suspicious at all, nope.

I looked into your claim here. The poster says he's from switzerland and his IP confirms that. Looks like it is his genuine opinion. I'm always on the watch for spam and faux marketing hype and will remove it if I come across any.

Though at that price, it'll have to really amaze me and blow away PalmPDF (as well as DTG- which wouldn't be hard).
Picsel Viewer Was Truly Amazing on the Clie
The loss of that software was one of the big reservations I had when I finally upgraded (or downgraded) from the Clie to a TX last week. PalmPDF lets me see pdf's on the TX, but the image quality and speed are nowhere near as good as Picsel on my old, much slower UX-50.
I wish I could trial it on the TX before dropping that kind of coin.

RE: Picsel Viewer Was Truly Amazing on the Clie
Will sure be nice to have some choice (at last) of PDF viewer on Palm. It wasn't that long ago that the official and very shoddy Adobe Acrobat Mobile, was the only option on (non-Sony) Palm devices. Unless you were prepared to perform a conversion and go with the rather clever Repligo software from Cerience.

DocsToGo, QuickOffice, MobiSystems Office et al against that
to be honest, I use MobiSystems Office very much on my T3. Ok, agreed, it lags in landscape mode(so bad that it crashes when I type really fast with an external keyboard), but its sopreadsheet and word file modules really do a great, and I mean freaking great job at showing files! Truetype fonts, tables, images in tables, cell borders, everything.
DocsToGo on the other side is more of a "creators" application. No lags, no nothing, but also rather few features.
The question is: where will PicselViewer fit in, knowing that it lacks a document editing possibility. Won't people prefer to go with PalmPDF+MobiSystems Office(costs roughly the same AFAIK)???
BTW; a nice review is here

Proviewer doesn't work with the Palm TX
Proviewer simply doesn't work with my Palm TX. Although the device has 55M internal memory and 1,848M external memory, every time I attempt to load a PDF ranging in size from 650K to 2.2M, I get a "Proviewer: Close document? Memory is full" error message. I've tried running it from internal and external memory.
Text documents of around 250K loaded, but any scrolling or zooming renders them unintelligible.
I should have looked at the Picsel forum first. There are complaints about similar problems that have gone unanswered. The Picsel support inquiry form is ridiculous: it allows approximately 100 characters to state your problem.
Proviewer may have potential, but right now it simly isn't ready for the market.
