What's the best browser I can run on the SimPad?
The latest I could get a good while ago was Opera 7.5.5, which seemed to have leaked from the Zaurus. However, it crashes often and has its own style of presentation, to put it mild. I need Javascript (more specifically a XMLHTTP request to do some AJAX). The old Opera has Javascript, but not such features. |

Too bad nobody can point to a more modern browser. :-(
Where is firefox, seamonkey, etc.? The Opera installation was done by a friend, credits to him. I have to run the "rotten old" Open Simpad v0.8.1, for library compatibility, he said. Besides that, according to the notes I made, here are the steps to perform, after obtaining the package and somehow copying it to the simpad: CODE ipkg install opera_7.55.6079_arm.ipk
mv /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf.orig cd /root rm .opera rm .operasave ln -s /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera .opera ln -s /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.operasave .operasave cd /usr/share rm opera ln -s /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/ opera ln -s /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/buttons operabuttons cp opera.ini /root/.opera |

For me, I switched to 7.55 and found it unstable on Cacko1.23/c1000. I end up reverting to O7.25. So far so good.
No flash ... but hey, I'm content as it is.
