Finally, is there a trick to getting the Palm App to access the NIT's wifi connection? I noticed people are using Pocket Tunes or Mundo for example.
and...is the GVM running the Palm OS 5? Isn't that what the "Garnet" is from? Just wanted to verify...thx

Garnet is more or less PalmOS 5. But GVM seems to be limited to run m68k applications only, for now at least. Unless they changed that in the last version and didn't document it.

I haven't been able to run a single PalmOS application which includes armlets, since the first GVM. Could you point me to some working application that I could test?

Note that most of PalmOS 5 is ARM, thus not being able to run native code would really limit its usefulness.

Thanks, that was great stuff. I can see though that the missing 'full screen' button (which on the N8x0 is used to quickly switch between the different view modes) may be a bit missed on the N900. On the other hand it seems to naturally like to use the portrait mode, so maybe that won't matter that much.

Hey guys.
I wanted to quickly mention that I'm currently putting together one last touch screen keyboard layout to be used with Garnet.
There's a way now to get Xkbd finally working correctly but I'm still not sure if it's a permanent solution as of yet.
All that's left is to finish up with the third, modified layer of the keyboard. I probably can post it in a couple of days.
It's surprisingly very finger friendly.
If anyone has a suggestion or two on the layout, try to leave a comment before it's done.
Cheers!

I haven't hotsynced in 6 months. The only reason to do this is if an application has an installation process to it or you're like bunanson who keeps all of his contacts and schedules through GVM.
I never needed Wifi in GVM, best to ask Bun on this.
You're going to need to launch GVM through Xterm for the time being.
Once you know what you're doing, you can create a desktop icon to do this for you but I'll get to that a little later.
Read up on this thread while paying close attention to the "-n" option:

Post back if you're having any troubles.
Cheers!
