Re: PIM application

The GVM is highly unstable, will crash when the datebook alarm goes off and, after recovering from the crash, will delete all your PIM data. It is not usable if you need to rely on your PIM apps.

Re: [Palm OS] Garnet VM - Alarms in PIM

That's not been my experience. Having an alarm go off in a PalmOS app causing the VM to not only crash, but become corrupted is not my definition of a "stable environment."

Not that it doesn't...

Re: [Palm OS] Garnet VM - Alarms in PIM

Yup. Even the "built in" Calendar app.



Nope.

The Garnet VM is a cute toy only. Don't rely on it for anything important.

Re: Best Mobile PIM ever?

Not the version that I tried on my Zaurus.



I've never seen this. Every version that I tried worked like it was on a desktop system - and had all the screen real estate of a desktop system.

Re: Best Mobile PIM ever?

KOrganizer wasn't meant for a PDA and works very poorly on it. I have a Zaurus SL-C760 and KOrg was extremely cumbersome to use.

Re: Best Mobile PIM ever?

Because it doesn't work. The VM is very unstable and blows up, taking all your apps and data with it, when an alarm goes off.

Re: Best Mobile PIM ever?

For me, the Palm TX is still #1.
I tried to make the N810 replace it, but ended up going back to the Palm TX.

That will depend on your definition of "good calendar".

There are at least 2 calendar apps for the tablets.

Re: Do IT's have their nicknames?

My N800 is Kaoru and my N810 is Hikaru.

Re: Can we consider the N810 as a Palm TX replacement?

No. When I had the latest version of the GarnetVM on my N800, alarms in the datebook caused the VM to crash - hard.

The VM wouldn't stay running more than an hour. After that, it would crash...

The problem is that none of them come even close to being useful - let alone as useful at the PIM functions on the Palm.

Re: Alarms working?

Once, when changing the alarm in Prefs, the VM crashed. Subsequent changing did not cause it to crash, though.

However, every time the datebook alarm "went off", the VM would crash.

As a test, I set an alarm and when the time came for the alarm to go off, Datebook simply crashed and exited.
