Built on the ACCESS NetFront core technology, PalmSource's web browser offers enhanced graphics rendering and navigation capability by using uses technologies such as page zooming, scalable fonts and 'squeeze' rendering, allowing users to eliminate horizontal scrolling for easier navigation. It also fully supports standard specification such as WAP 2.0, HTML and XHTML, and it offers enhanced security such as SSL and TLS. Interestingly, the PalmSource Web Browser SDK includes documentation how to best create content for the smaller screens of mobile devices and how to integrate their applications with the PalmSource Web Browser 3.0. Probably a future must-read for every web-designer. |

Indeed, as Douglas Edwards, vice president of Handmark comments: "PalmSource Installer is a great solution that will enable us to build on our commitment to innovative wireless solutions for Palm Powered smart mobile devices. As a Palm Powered Mobile World partner, we look forward to continued innovation on the part of PalmSource to bring solutions that generate revenue opportunities for its partners." Handango already offers the installer labeled as Handango InHand to all palmOne Treo owners for free. The public beta version of PalmSource Installer is free and available to registered Palm OS software developers in the PalmSource Developer Zone. |
