I have been a Palm user for many years going back to the Palm III to the Palm IIIc and then to the T3. I throughly enjoy the speed and ease of using the Palm operating system. Sadly Palm has stopped developing their PDA line and concentrated on only Smartphones. These are wonderful devices, but I do not require a phone for my uses and prefer to have the large screen of the T3 or TX.

I have been reading the posts of using the IT and Garnet VM to run Palm applications. Using only a portion of the IT screen is a negative, but some bright person will probably figure a patch to correct this.

What I am interested in is if anyone has tried to run Vindigo or moviementor on the IT

Thanks

I installed Vindigo.prc and VSync.prc to GVM, Vindigo became visible as an application and it launched too, however it just asked me to 'sync my handheld'. I don't sync (never did with my real Palm device either), so I don't know if this will work or not.

The known (showstopper types of) problems with GVM are more or less the following:
- There's really no way to get data _out_ of GVM, except by synching: GVM doesn't see the SD cards, and it doesn't see Bluetooth directly. (It sees the network though, so there's a possibility an ftp client could be used. I haven't tested this yet.) (Getting data _in_ is easy enough, as the GVM launcher can _read_ the SD cards.)
- Programs with ARM code don't seem to be supported - m68k code works though.
- (unverified): Programs using 3party libraries (e.g. mathlib.prc) isn't supported (crashes GVM)

EZFtp works just fine on the GVM on my 770 running OS2006, FWIW.

Thanks, I wanted to test EZftp (got it downloaded and all), but hadn't got to it yet. That's very good news.
