RE: Launcher X
That's why it appeals to me -- Launcher III has been bulletproof for me, and it's very intuitive to use.

LauncherX = LIII+skins
Not sure what the hype is.
RE: LauncherX = LIII+skins
RE: Launcher X
as far as speed Launcher X is slower it will just have option not to refresh
and please tell me where are the bugs in silver screen?
RE: LauncherX = LIII+skins
individual files and databases!
What is wrong with some eye candy mister gray scales?
RE: Launcher X
I will stay on Launcher III
Simplicity and easy access must be the most important.
I will wait on Launcher IV!!!
Launcherx will be released in 10days from now.
RE: Launcher X
RE: Launcher X
There will be no Launcher IV, Launcher X is from the developer of LIII and some other people.
I don't think it looks that much like SilverScreen, and even if it did, so what? Function is important too.
Where's Cheap Bluetooth?
I think I'll be sticking with IR with my cellular for now...

RE: Where's Cheap Bluetooth?
What cellular phone/cellular service combination are you using to support a Palm IR to Internet connection? Anyone doing this with ATT in the US?
Just curious (and frustrated)
Palm IR to Internet
1. ATT, at least in Chicago, has AWS Data and AWS Wap as data connections by default. So there is no need to add data connections or edit anything on the phone.
2. Palm Vx -> Prefs -> Connection
2.1. New Configuration
2.2. Name: T68 (you can obviously choose whatever you like)
2.2. Connection Method: IrCOMM to Modem
2.3. Dialing: TouchTone
2.4. Volume: Low
2.5. Press "Details" Button
2.5.1. Speed: 57,600
2.5.2. FlowCtl: Automatic
2.5.3. Init String: at&f;
2.5.4. Press "OK" Button
2.6. Press "OK" Button
3. Palm Vx -> Prefs -> Network
3.1. Service: T68 (again this is just a name so use what you like)
3.2. User Name: web
3.3. Password: web
3.4. Connection: T68 (this is the connection you created in step 2)
3.5. Phone: *99***1#
3.6. Press "Details" Button
3.6.1. Connection Type: PPP
3.6.2. Idle timeout: Power Off
3.6.3. Query DNS: CHECKED ON
3.6.4. IP Address: CHECKED ON Automatic
3.6.5. Press "Script" Button
3.6.5.1. Note: that by clicking end you display a list of command which we will use
3.6.5.2. Send: ATZ (add the letters yourself, there will be no list)
3.6.5.3. Send CR:
3.6.5.4. Send: at+cgdcont=1,"ip","Internet" (seems to be case sensitive but I could have just had a bad connection the first time)
3.6.5.5. Send CR:
3.6.5.6. End:
3.6.5.7. Press "OK" Button
3.6.6. Press "OK" Button
3.7. Press "Connect" Button

For the dialup setup, you can check it out at http://www.mywirelesspalm.com
I'm currently using the dialup setup. GPRS is too expensive for me to use on a daily basis... and I have unlimited cellular talktime, as well as 40 free hours/month dialup access that came free with my ADSL account.

Spidar
it would be nice if somehow this could be blended with the personality pack.

RE: Spidar
I think you miss the point. This device would no nothing to protect the screen from scratches. It would do nothing to protect the screen from, say, getting crunched in a pocket, purse, or briefcase. There are many more ways a screen can be dammaged apart from getting dropped. Even if a device got dropped, I seriously doubt these corners would absorb all of the impact of the fall.

RE: BT Mem Stick
Patience
They overhyped Bluetooth from the beginning sad enough. So the average people want Bluetooth 2 much too fast. Even with the recent delays, the progression of the Bluetooth standard is far ahead of the adoption rates of almost any other comparable technology. Many point to the sudden emergence of 802.11b as proof that Bluetooth has already been superseded by more advanced technologies. However, the truth is that the road towards 802.11b's success began over a decade ago in 1990 when the IEEE 802 Executive Committee established the 802.11 Working Group to create a wireless local area network (WLAN) standard. The b variant simply represents the emergence of a version of the standard that is a viable mass-market commercial solution. In comparison, Ericsson first began toying with the idea of a short-range wireless technology in 1994, four years after work on 802.11 began. Furthermore, although the inspiration for Bluetooth occurred in 1994, real work on the technology as an industry standard did not start until the original Special Interest Group was formed in 1998. The 1.0 specification was released a mere two years ago in July 1999. The 1.1 Bluetooth spec was ready in March 2001.
But it's good to see that there is more BT realism today when they promote the technology (more) as CABLE REPLACEMENT.
People must have patience. Prices will come down when volume kicks in.
RE: Patience
On your point about 802.11b, you might be interested to know that there is an ISP here in Hong Kong proposing to provide a wireless ISP service using 802.11a, which is considerably faster and more far-reaching that 802.11b. A lot of public places already have 802.11b installed, but it'll be really something when you can get online from virtually anywhere with your laptop wirelessly.
Wouldn't the bluetooth stick interfere with the NR70
RE: Wouldn't the bluetooth stick interfere with the NR70
The NR70's screen flips up, rotates 180 degrees, then flips back down. In theory, keeping the screen perpendicular to the keyboard would mean that almost ANY protruding memstick device would be unintrusive.
