OmniSky "wireless" Message Board and PQA

Congratulations on the effort. The PQA works well. However, I have some suggestions that would enhance usablility for the wireless user.

First, there are so many subsections that naviagation is awkward. Each time you go to a subsection you must go home before accessing a new section. It would be helpful to have a button to go to another subsection directly.

Also, it would be helpful to know if there are any new messages so one does not have to access subsections unneedlessly. I realize this option would require a login algorithm. Alternatively, if the total number of messages posted to the subsection is indicated that would be more helpful than no information.

As a follow-up to my previous message, now that there is volume on the Board, it would be helpful to not show "read" messages.

Palm VII(yes it's a version og the VII ROM) on Palm V is buggy. I crash hard a least once a week (No I don't run Hackmaster or the like). When it works it's awesome. The PQA's (web clippings0 are a bit better that avantgo or web browsing actually.

Finally get some MAC compatability will ya!!!!

I've read about these problem connecting to AvantGo (error connecting to server; no servers have been set up on this system, etc);
however, once connected to the omnisky service, if you force a modem sync, a miracle occurs and you can actually download your channels ...

The following message lead me to a link where I down-loaded a tic-tac-toe game.
The game causes a fatal exception that has made my palm useless.

I just noticed that SPUG has this link to a company that is working on a killer
mp3 add-on for the Palm III series. That's not all, the're also working on these
features into the device: File storage, MP3 player, Voice Recording,
Database Server, Text to Speech and many future enhancements. All of that
into a standard modem case! I was a little skeptical at first but then I noticed
the pictures of the board. The site says it's on schedule to ship in April.

Anyone know of a serial modem cable that lets you hook up a Palm V to a Wireless Ricochet Modem. They had a cable for the Palm III and Palm I but I have yet to find one for the Palm V. Please email response to mosttoys@ricochet.net
thanks,

I am NOT a software programmer.

I'm not even a Palm owner - yet...

In my profession we have to record the lap times of the car as it goes by. Typically, you'll use a stopwatch, a pencil, and a notebook. With these times you will record driver comments and notes about changes made to the car.

It occurs to me that a Palm would be ideal to combine all thse tasks in pit lane - and hold them together in a format that could be transferred to Excel or Word or similar later on.

I know WHAT I want in this fairly simple application.

I just don't know how to go about doing it.

Any help out there ?

Disaster! Install of omnisky software caused my palmVx's screen to go to an almost black contrast setting and also disabled the contrast settings bar - the bar just won't appear. Worse - the up button is now an on/off button so I can't use it for a hard reset! Worse yet - just for fun i tried to attach the omnsky modem to my palm - but the clasp to attach the two won't grab. After 30 frustrating minutes I gave up. Has anyone had similar problems?
