Comments on: Palm OS Quickies: Astraware MLT, Google Maps

my little tank palm os Almost gone but not forgotten, there are still a few new bits of both good and bad Palm OS-related software news out there.

Starting with the good news, long-time mobile software specialists Astraware have released a new version of their My Little Tank game for Palm OS users. Bearing version number 1.14, this is the first update to the title since a major update November of last year. The new update adds support for numerous new languages with no new gameplay or content updates. A full listing of the added languages can be found on Astraware's product revision page. You can reference my review of this fun little game from way back in 2006. I still play it occasionally and would put it on the short list of classic Palm OS games that have stood the test of time quite well, as last year's update really added some additional value to the title.

TANK GAME is NOT WebOS

TANK GAME is NOT WebOS

Right from the site:

"To run this app on your WebOS phone, you must have Classic from MotionApps installed."

Huh? I never said or insinuated that it was a WebOS app. Seeing as how I mention my 2006 review of the game, it should be understood by anyone with half a brain that the Palm OS/Garnet/OS5 version is being discussed. I would certainly hope that the PIC readership is savvy enough to distinguish between WebOS & Palm OS apps anyway.

While SOME sites do (and it aggravates me greatly to see it being done) I NEVER use "Web OS" & "Palm OS" as interchangeable terms and I certainly know the difference between those two drastically different OS architectures.

As a general rule of thumb, I also do not cover WebOS releases or reference Classic as I do not have a Pre or Pixi.

OK, Sorry... For some reason I thought I saw this as it was running on WebOS without Classic.

I Stand Corrected, thank you.

Pre etc.

@Timmmmay;

To make a long, long, long story short, I still have the borked Pre (again) but am furiously trying to sell it at the moment. It has literally a few hours' use on it via wi-fi and has never been activated on Sprint. I shall use it in my Droid vs. Palm review/comparison for size & photo purposes if it's still in my possession at such time.

Scott;
No prob, just wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page. Are you still using a Zodiac or have you moved on?
