You need to grab the Palm VII(x) ROMS from Palm's site if you can.. They
contain
encryption so there are some restrictions on their availability, but if
you're a US
or Canadian citizen I think you're set, not sure elsewhere.
Once you use those, Palm VII becomes an option.
And yeah, INetLib isn't going anywhere soon (unfortunately).
If you're writing for Omnisky only, you can use NetLib as well as INetLib.
