Hey all!
I love my Vario III,...just wondering if any of you were using Picsel browser?
It's awesome,...the only problem is that it doesn't interpret javascript
Anyone know of a similair browser that supports javascript?
Regards
Where did you obtain the picsel browser from? I always wanted to test the functionality but could never find a download. Looks like an OEM only product.
My Vario III arrives tomorrow
i absolutly love picsel, (other than the lack of java and sketchy flash support) its the easiest browser to use IMO... too bad they never released it comercially... they could make some serious money off it
To Steady Man
Give me your email I'll send you the cab file
piscal browser
hi my friend please email cab to
[email protected]
The version that i have installed is not working on my TyTN II
I'm getting the error:
Initialisation failur....in think this is German.
the version i have installed is simply entitled "Picsel Browser.cab" and was found on torrent tracker that canadians can't use.
it isn't very useful to me, but it is a novel idea of a browser.
quite a browser indeed, reminds me of the Safari browser on the iPhone. 320x240 doesn't quite cut it though for browsing, must look better on a VGA device.
Odd that you can't go full screen, or I missed a setting ?
deepfish from Microsoft is alos very nice (very similar to Picsel browser).

got a link ?
Thunderhawk is in the same vein as picsel browser, and works a little better. Basically, it renders the page on their servers, and then sends the page to your device. It is very fast and looks by far the most like pages rendered on a PC.
However, it is quite expensive, requiring a monthly fee to use the software. But there is a free trial to see if you like it.

would you mind sending it to me as well? The only one I found was ripped from the samsung blackjack which makes the screen for browsing the blackjack.

Does anybody got a deepfish cab? " At this time we are no longer accepting registrations for the current technology preview."
deepfish
that would be great, i've been wanting to try out deepfish for a while now. that zoom feature would come in real handy for qvga screens.

Along with the cab, you will need the (per person issued (iirc)) beta activation code to make it work. Given that it is using a server to house the data and format it for you ... you would need that code or the server would deny you access.
jesus, what's with all the security?

Here's the installation file for picsel browser. This one needs to be installed to the device main memory. I have the file that can be installed to the storage card, but for some reason the upload keeps failing.
Hello
from the dark ages with PALM I have a Avantgo account.
The PPC software did not very well but now I figured out that I can access my Avantgo channels via the Webbrowser (PIE and Opera9.5 tested positive).
Simply type "http://m.avantgo.com/ui" and login.
Regards
Highc
Do you use it online or off?
I had an account with them as well, used it with a Compaq 3635. (I loved that thing!) But haven't looked at them in years. Is AvantGo still relevant on a web enabled phone? I guess if you dont have a data plan it is. The whole concept is offline browsing, isin't it? Is there a compelling reason to use their service when I can just go to the actual website?
Yes, it is

Hi
there is a reason for me to still use Avantgo instead of browsing directly to a web page. But this is just my reason.
There are still a lot of homepages which are not designed for Mobiles.
And in Avantgo you can add your own Channel which points to a Homepage and converts it to a usable mobile view.
With this I have my "private" mobile view on all pages I'd like to see on my web enabled phone.

i already have touch flo3d and windows mobile voice command
THPS2...
my top five.
i have a bunch of apps.
i mostly use the following:
G-alarm
evernote
i-nigma (bar code reader)
qik (live video broadcasting from your phone)
the you tube panel.
and now i guess im using the point home 2 ui instead of touch flo3d.
you can find all (or most) if you just use the foruM search
I m using Resco contact manager which is my personal favourite especially because I like the today screen ..and have been playing around with morphgear a little which isnt bad .. here is the link to the contact manager if u want to try it
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/contactmanager/default.asp
must haves..
wmvwifi router.. i use old free beta.
www.mymobiler.com to remote control from pc
total commander (for registry and ftp access)
http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php for som old point and click games.
depend on your interests really
like I installed a program which would let me detect in which direction to point my sat disc
to get various channels
but people without sat discs would find limited usesage for such and app
much like I would find little usage for a plane spotting app which told me which times I should hit out to the airport to see some rare type of plane
for pure brain storm these types of threads work wonders giving you an impression of whats out there
but if you got some special interest then
searching on google for
<what ever> pocketpc
like
paint pocketpc
often works wonders pocketpc in one word works better with google then
windows mobile because it's 2 words and having windows in any search give way
too many pc windows hits

This app doesn't seem to be supported on the X1. Did you use an install from a different phone? I think it looks pretty cool, and I'd love to use it, but no amount of google searching is providing me with the answer here.
I have got navigation software on my X1 and I often use it for navigation during the trip to a new place. It saves me money on buying a new navigator and saves me another carrier. Isn't is cool?
Hi,
Can any body tell me that where i can get these given above applications for read and edit word, excel etc ms offices file in g1 phone .. or suggest any other free application for my google g1 phone with i can read all ms office documents..
thanx in advance
Google is your friend..
Go to the Dataviz web site, they have 'Docs to go' for the G1.
"...a limited-time introductory price of $19.99 (regularly $29.99.) "
Quick office also have "Quick office for Android"
"...$20.00"
Both are available from the Marketplace your G1.
Sorry no freeware....
You can't edit in Quick Office!

I remember when I had my BlackBerry and upgraded to the 4.5 OS, Docs to Go was included free as part of the OS applications.

Then a process of elimination leaves you with Docs To Go.
Has anybody tried it? Bit of a challenge to buy it since paid apps aren't available in Canada, so before I go to the trouble, does DTG support any real document formats, like ODT, or is it strictly limited to microcrap?

I bought it. No, at this time, it is not as good as the Palm or other version, but it works. I use it to read and edit my MS Word documents. I also used it to open a Excel document, but that really doesn't matter to me too much.
Just for you, I tried, it said it cannot open because it is not a valid MS Word 97-2008a.
Thanks for checking. Guess they won't be getting any money from me.
You know they will end up making google docs. One day.
Or you can use Shead Spreet app....I think it will read in excel data.

I agree... they need a mobile version BADLY!!!! The funny thing is, I believe Google docs. works with Windows Mobile and not Android. That is more of a browser thing but still. Its just plain stupid!!! And why does the Sapphire have a pdf viewer and the G1 doesn't?! It's about time for another RC update so JF can return to do work his magic.

I been thinking about getting that one. How well does it handle larger files (lets say ones larger than 1-2 MB?)
Google docs is pointless since it depends on a network connection. It also puts potentially security sensitive information out of your personal control (which is almost always against the rules when dealing with other people's data).

I believe they would need to make a offline Google docs app, kind of like the offline gmail app they built.
GDocs now on the marketplace. Not made by google, but looks like it has on and offline support. I am downloading it now. oh and its free.
Well tested it out, and does not work well at all, but it in early beta I think it said .21 So it has time, But at least someone is working on it.
just updated and works a bit better, It will not pull down info from the web, and update info from g1. But will not update data back down to g1. only way to is to delete doc off the phone and re download it.

I have docs to go, and it isn't even really noticeably slower opening 2+MB files. It handles them just fine. I even threw a 7MB doc file with embedded images at it, no problem.
I just had a look at that and it has a *very very* long way to go. Its basically worthless and I don't expect it to go anywhere near far enough to actually be useful. I suspect that it was whipped together in about a half hour. All it is is a text editor, it downloads the TEXT from your google doc and stores it in an sqlite3 database file. No formatting or anything. It doesn't even save the odt file to local. I seriously doubt that the author has the skills to develop a full word processor.

I have ported the Windows Mobile 6.x program Freda to Windows Phone 7.
The program is an Ebook reader for books in EPUB (DRM-free), HTML and TXT format.
I've published a demo video.
[UPDATE: See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795753&page=15 for the latest version of the program.]
Is there a way to reformat the text at all? It's going to be really difficult to read with that little spacing between lines, etc.

There are options on the 'Settings' screen that allow you to:
add space between paragraphs
increase the line spacing (or decrease it to 0.9 if you want an even denser reading experience)
change font
change font size
define an external margin (a blank border) around the edge of the page
Between these, you'll probably find a way to get an appearance that works for you
i like the simplicity of your app, but somewhere i think it's to simple

I will be adding such features as:
- download from any OPDS catalog, not just Wattpad's system
- view and navigate the book's table of contents
- manage settings (i.e. save and use 'presets').
- ...
Maybe that will be complicated enough for you

I left you a message on the youtube site. I like it. Keep it going but you are doing a great job.
I look forward to seeing this when I get my WP7 next week!
I definately need an ereader so I can read my kids books
I already see the app on the marketplace, glad to see it there as I have freda for 6.5

Yep, I spent 30 mins at the O2 shop yesterday, getting fingermarks on the screen of an HTC HD7 and checking that Freda works OK on a real phone. Conclusion: it's usable, but there are a few niggles. I'll be pushing out a new release in a few days to deal with them ...

Fair dues, developing such a complex app without even having the phone!
I'm interested in particular in having an ereader that can read epub files from my own server, since we don't seem to be able to add epub or txt files to our WP7 devices just yet.
Thanks for all the hard work.
This is pretty impressive. I look forward to downloading you app! Keep up the good work, man.

The app knows how to work with any server that can produce an OPDS catalog, and I have tested it with Calibre (both using the Calibre Content Server and also the Calibre2Opds solution based on DropBox). There is one major ugliness: because of the brain-dead way that Microsoft have implemented (well 'not implemented') HTTP authentication, it only works if you set a blank password on your Calibre server. Not really an issue if you're using it on your own local wireless network, but not suitable for wider internet use.
I'm hoping Microsoft will roll out a patch for this in the Q1 release; if they don't, I can code proper authentication myself, but it will be a tedious job.
zune doesn't support epub???
thx jim
!!!great job
Is it still in Marketplace I can't find it anymore....
Sorry looked on phone and PC.

Jim, could you please check this catalog: http://81.1.213.130:8091/opds/
Freda can access OPDS but can't read epubs from that site (FBReaderJ for Android works without problems)

It's true - I admit it. Freda is off the marketplace at the moment.
There was a problem with the last update, and I have temporarily pulled it. It should be back in a couple of days.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks! I tried to write a review and rate it from within the Zune software, wouldn't let me do that either. (used your web site link to find it that way) There seems to be a lot of recent additions of ereaders in the Marketplace. Freda still tops them though.
