I have read your papers on iNetLib which are a very nice job and the tip for the
iMessenger really works nicely, I have a question
for you though is on how PalmGear specifically is able to "download"/"FTP" new apps
onto the PalmVII device? To date this seems
like the most sophisicated app using iNetLib where its going out and getting arbitrary
data (PRCs and PQAs), Im very interested on
knowing how this is accomplished.
