[Palm OS] Access Releases Garnet VM Beta 2

Warning: Their database can't find you for download if you use a gmail address with +addressing. (With GMail, if your email is username@gmail.com, you can give sites username+tag@gmail.com, allowing easy filtering and recognition of anyone who sells your email...) I learned this last time with the original release, and rediscovered it now.

They will, however, send you duplicate copies of the updates...

(Also, wouldn't it be nice if they looked at their EULA on an N800? It wouldn't be hard to make just the download pages fit in 800px...)

Some apps I would like to know if it's working:

1. SlingPlayer
2. DateBk6
3. Documents To Go Suite

Re: Access Releases Garnet VM Beta 2
 

well i han't really tested any apps yet but the full screen makes it not only more usable but awsome. Even tough there are like 50 pixels at the top not being used it alot better

Re: Access Releases Garnet VM Beta 2
 

I think there's 80 pixels; the 1.5x scaleup gives 320x480 -> 480x720 -> 720x480

But, yes, it's better. I think I got the first screenshots of full-screen mode, over in the screenshot thread..

Preliminary results:

I just downloaded and installed Garent VM 2 on my N800.

First strike: I got an error but it seems the new version works just fine, so don't curse before you try it ;) What is really bad is that t doesn't recognize your previous GVM installation at all so that means you'll need to HotSync again to get Notes, Calendar and Addressbook again. Very uncomfortable but I was willing to put up with this based on the performance of the new version.

Which I am very happy to say is a MARKED improvement over the first :)

2 Essential pieces of software for me now work flawlessly:

SmartLists to Go (I know this will make a lot of people happy)
PalmaryClock

That's all I've been able to try without Hotsyncing so far. The Full Portrait view is really nice. I will keep posting as I try more Palm software. The Access page said PocketTunes is now supported and I really have to see that working in my N800.

Good luck

NO error message after hotsync!
and for a change, it hotsync address, DateBook, To Do List. Now it is a real PIM and of course, it is full screen too. I am installing epocrates, a drug book........... either you can sell drugs on the street or check out how much your MD does not know. It takes 11 minutes........

Edit: Epocrates is up and running.
Edit: GoogleMaps Mobile, full screen, up and running. And is eye blinking fast now (compare to the old version of snail loading), and I am looking at my 'mansion' via satellite.
