Re: Garnet vm no longer available for n810?
 
I agree completely w/ sgosnell. I was a loyal Palm customer almost since day one. Owned a Palm III, IIIx, Vx, T3, and Treo 650. I even developed a couple of simple but useful apps for the OS. Inept management and greed distracted the company from moving thier devices and OS forward. If they survive now it will be a miracle.

Pesonally, I'd rather make a clean break from remnants of Palm OS and encourage developers to work on other platforms (like this one). I'll probably keep my old T3 handy for those rare times I want to run Garnet, and don't plam to mess with the VM.

On an aside I have Garnet working on my updated OS 2008 N800... no problems for now... you can read my sig to see my affinity for Palm products. I can't see why Nokia cannot come up with a similar calendar app, or better, but I guess they are going for the "whiz-bang" before the practical.

As for Garnet VM, I just kept the link in my webmail and revisited and reinstalled after flashing my N800. Anything to play Vexed, I am addicted to that game...

I've had palm products from the original palm pilot- through handspring deluxe/prism tungstent and t2 treo 600 and treo 700p. i have "tons" of $ in apps and yet after playing for a few days w/garnet vm i deleted it. to me it feels like going backward not forward as the n810 does.... fwiw the only app i truly miss is slingbox .. i thought i could never live without datebook6- i have and i am now comfortable w/the workaround.

life goes on

Well, I got Resco Explorer working that gives me access to FTP, it is also a good zipper unzipper only thing is it does access files on N800 (at least I haven't figuerd it out yet) only within the Virtual Palm and FTP.

Just to clarify, Access was a pre-existing company specialising in web browsers for mobile devices - it wasn't formed from PalmSource. The web browser in both the Sony PSP and PS3 is from Access.

Reading about Palm and their latest crass managerial decision is like watching a soap opera - it's fantastic entertainment! Just glad I don't hold any stock or invested any significant amount of time in their devices otherwise it could be quite upsetting! :)

Demo Version Expired
 
Hi there,

I installed Garnet VM right now but, when I run it, this shows an notice saying that demo version had expired and I must go to www.access-company.com for more information. I directed my browser to that site, but no information is available. Somebody knows something about it?

Regards,

Taguapire.

When I select English as the language I'm taken to a home page with a link to the Garnet VM on Nokia Tablets prominently displayed in the bottom right corner. All three versions appear to still be available for download.

I had the same problem and it turned out that the date on my 800 was wrong. Try fixing the date on yours and see if that works.

Now if I could only sync my calendar I'd be happy.

Palm is dead - Trolltech is born.
 
I have gone from a love affair with my Palm devices, to distain, and now to glee that Trolltech was purchased by Nokia. It is sad to see how Palm squandered their unbeatable lead by greed and proprietary thinking. Like Microsoft, they just didn't see open source as a credible threat.

Nokia, on the other hand, seems to see things clearly.

QT4 is being developped for the N810. Give these guys a few months and we'll start to see ports of KDE and Kontact on our N810.

Go Trolltech!

Here is how it starts: http://qt4.garage.maemo.org/
