Decent Browser-experience on Palm OS

Starting from the comments of a PalmInfoCenter.com entry about 2Cool4U I think I should write some thoughts about how few efforts it might take for Palm to bring a decent browser experience to there devices. What are the options: A new NetFront from Access. They currently released something about a new version for Windows Mobile. […]

2Cool4U, 2nd preview

After I made the first preview public I received a couple of great ideas and comments. Based on this I’ve added things and made another preview: 0.93. Change Log: Bigger entries, easier to hit. Entries divided, large left part for fast dialing (uses the first stored number for the contact), smaller part on the right […]

2Cool4U

What is 2Cool4U at the moment? A new way to access your contact list. How will it mature? In future it will also include a launcher part. How cool is this? Wipe through your contacts list with your thumb. Press a key and have it jump directly to the first matching contact. Tap the contact […]

Jumping on the iPhone train

“Jumping on the iPhone train” (no, I don’t have an iPhone yet and surely won’t buy one in its current locked state) is at the moment mainly writing mobile web-apps using Javascript, HTML and CSS. Things which when done carefully also work on real smartphones. Look for example my first mobile web-app: Henk’s Consumption Calculator […]

From traffic counter to PalmPDF

The next update for PalmPDF is still in progress but takes some more time. Reason 1: I’ve updated the freetype library and now I need to rework the font rendering in reflow mode. Reason 2: I’ve update to the last Xpdf version which brings some conflicts to resolve. Reason 3: I did some work on […]

PalmPDF 1.6 will come for sure

Lately, there was some news about a security hole in Xpdf which is the base of PalmPDF. Therefore I decided to bring PalmPDF back to the front page and not only include the fix for this security hole but also add some other things: Update the font rendering engine, FreeType, to the latest version Send […]

Traffic Counter

The Traffic Counter issue grabbed my intention: Wouldn’t it be cool if you have a counter always visible, when you’re online? I’m also always interested in the battery capacity of my Treo 680. I combined both, added it to 2LaunchMe and decided to release it in the next days as 2LaunchMe2. You can preview it, […]

LJP and CallerInfo, preview of next releases

I fixed some bugs in LJP and added support for DMG (forces a b/w GB?) and GBA Mode (isn’t a GBA emulation, just pretends to be). You can test it here. CallerInfo got some nice button-gfx. Test it here.

CallerInfo 2nd

Ok, now I did find the time to check CallerInfo on a Treo 650. Stupid Palm completely changed the phone event flow between 650 and 680. On the 650 CallerInfo didn’t stopped when you refuse the call, now it’s fixed. On the 650 the AfterCall display didn’t appeared if you finished the call, now it’s […]
