Yeah, I've heard some interesting things about the PDQ.
That's cool that it has a brower built it. Does it do
Text only or some form of graphics also?
As for the JVM. HP just annouced (and already has several companies signed
up)
their own embedded JVM for PDAs. When it comes to palmtops, HP has usually
done things right. Hopefully this JVM engine will be small and fast.
What I'm really looking for is a "pseudo" standard client engine that can
interact with web based documents. Bluestone's XML Parser for the Pilot
(at only 10K in size) might be the answer.
Just have to wait and see what the future brings. It's all moving
so fast. ;-)
