Perhaps later versions will be better, but this beta version isn't ready for prime time.
I strongly disagree with this. Even with just the GVM and no extra apps, the Palm contact manager in GVM beats ANY available native tablet contact manager by a huge margin. The Datebook app works well also (most Calendar apps for the tablet are buggy). And I personally have apps running reliably under the GVM for database usage, and spreadsheets. For spreadsheets, the closest we have for the Nokia is Gnumeric, which under os2008 has several serious bugs. For MS docs, there is nothing for os2008 yet. Even in its present form, the GVM fills a big hole in the functionality of the tablet. If they fix the sound/alarms issue, it will be excellent!
