Is there a web site or a program that will show what a URL looks like
on different handheld devices?

   I am considering buying a palm TX primarily to surf at wifi hotspots and
reading my gmail (google mail). Gmail supports the use of SSL for web
browsers (https), but does the Palm TX browser (balazer) support this? Has
anyone tried it ?

Hello.  
Can anyone recommend a good group to check out for Palm Games?
Thank you.

I have a brand new Palm TX, and I'm having trouble connecting to my
wi-fi network here at home. I use a MacBook with an Airport Extreme (not
the new one) with a password. The TX does see my network, but I can't
connect to it. I've entered my password correctly, and then I try to

I have an old Palm Vx but think that the battery will soon die on me
since it is over five years old and I use it frequently. I have
noticed that the battery does not last as long as it used to.
I decided to go with a new Palm Z22 which has four times as much

Do I understand correctly that the Palm LifeDrive is no longer
supported?  I received this message 2 weeks after I was promised a
response 'anytime soon':

Just upgraded to the newest HP iPaq hp2495b.  My other iPaq, about 5
years old, worked wonderfully, but its 32 Meg of memory was just not
enough anymore.  What a surprise when I got the new iPaq in the mail!
It's quite a bit thicker than my old iPaq, by at least 50%.  When I

I've had nearly three years happy palm usage out of my Treo 600 until it
gave up the ghost a month or so ago and I thought it was just the battery.
Got a replacement battery, but sort of melted the battery trying to put it
in. Electronic soldering course I did 18 years ago didn't ...

My Zire 31 started acting up.  Would not respond to any on screen
taps.  The 5-way selector did make things happen.
Soft-resets had no effect.
Did a hard-reset but now it continuously asks to press the exact

I need to retire my M515 soon.
With the talk of Palm going Linux, possible meager, and even possibly
going under, i don't know what to get.
I need just a PDA, plain and simple...

I need some basic software for a Symbol PDT3100 to enable and test the
built-in barcode scanner, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Right now there's no software installed on it (just DOS, I think) and
the scanner doesn't scan.  I assume that is by design?

Palm seem to have trailed the field a little getting their desktop
software ready for Vista - Grrrrr!
Never mind, I've got it working on Vista Home premium for sync anyway in
the meantime while we await the promised beta of the Vista compatible

Last night, my father bought one of those Palm GPS Navigator. He got it
to install from the provided memory card (had to remove his 1 GB memory
card) and made the program work on his PDA today (didn't install the CD
software in Windows).

My father would like to copy all of his datas from his old 1 GB memory
expansion card to his new 2 GB memory expansion card (unopened too). I
know on computer, it is easy if you have multiple drives installed.
How do we do this on a Palm Treo 680 that only has one expansion memory ...
