I Recently purchased a Tapwave Zodiac palm device (palm OS5) and
a Palmone sdio wifi card to add wireless functionality. The
Zodiac came with a browser, but it is not very useful. Sadly,
though the Palmone card came with a disk that has a browser, it
won't let me install it to the Zodiac as it is not manufactured
by them. Anyone know of a free PalmOS browser that is worth
using?

As far as I know, there is no free browser for the PalmOS(r) platform.

Eudora may do it.
I've no personal experience with it as my Clie doesn't have that
capability, however Eudora used to be king of e-mail.

For offline snatch and go, nothing beats Plucker.

Their desktop utility is very powerful but kind of slow and has crashed
from time to time on my '98 machine.

Sunrise is faster, lots of options too but they're mostly hidden. Gotta
RTFM.

platform.

That's the conclusion my web searching led me to, but I was
hoping against hope.
Thanks for your response.

A quick search of newsgroups led to two mentions of EudoraWeb for the
Palm OS. Readme file says "Eudora Internet Suite(TM) is now a free
product! No registration codes are required." Untested: let us know
if it's a winner.

Eudora Internet Suite 2.1: EudoraWeb Browser

Yeah, I'm a big Plucker fan. Thanks for the heads up on Sunrise. I'll check
it out. I forgot to mention in my original post that I had already
experimented with Eudora. I must be dense, but it won't log into my Hotmail
account, and it doesn't seem to be a web browser per se. At least when I go
to Google, it just offers me a sign in to a Gmail account, doesn't present
the regular Google page.
Thanks for your reply
