Yes. Try manually editing the URL to include a trailing slash on any
such URL - it might work then.
Their HTML or server is dysfunctional (They should pay for projects to
have their site redesigned properly). HotDispatch is everything Palm
isn't - big, bloated, and complex. And apparently Buggy.
So is Palm going to be giving out Wireless Windows CE devices so we
can access the site from a handheld? It doesn't work well with
anything less than IE 5.5 with all features active. Well, it doesn't
use Shockwave - at least not yet.

scroll down two pages for anything useful you ask for.
Not quite what I expect to see when I see the Palm trademarked logo.
(And even Palm uses a lot of extensions, but not arbitrarily, and I
can find my around the Palmos.com site and find information there
easily).
