i wanted to know if the nokia tablets can use the web based apps that are used on the ipod touch

seeing that the apps only use the web browser.

Doen't want to answer anymore... Don't expect solution from me.

Re: Launching Apps from Browser

I looked into PHP to launch apps, but the only thing a came across was exec() which didn't actually launch the application, it just expected output to display on the page... Hm?

Re: Launching Apps from Browser

You can use python and apache combo to launch cgi scripts or python scripts from web browser. See: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...velopment+n800
I hope that helps. I did not read the whole thread through but that's what I'd do. I guess you can allow executing any file using web server but maybe you don't want the web server overhead. In that case I don't know better solution yet. Maybe use javascript and allow it file access but I don't know if it is allowed to execute files too. Anyway good luck and post solution here if you find one.
