Developers' Nation is a fee for service company. We offer Palm OS Technical
Support through a couple of different methods. One to one questions to our
Technical Support Engineers will be resolved within 72 hours or there's no
charge for the question.
We also offer a kB that is far more comprehensive than anything available:
� Over 4000 pairs of Q/A derived from Palm's own internal Technical
Archives!
� Access to 100's of pieces of Sample Code and Technical Presentations
� Searchable by Complex, Fuzzy and Natural Language
� Intelligent kB - Commonly asked questions appear 1st!
� Get Sample Code and Technical Presentations!
� Updated Weekly with New Information!
We have not used the Dev. Forum or any other Forum questions or answers as a
source of data for our kB. The kB will be updated regularly with Q/A posed
to our own Engineers through our website. All propriatary and contact
information will be removed before the info. is posted.
We're about to offer a 14 day trail of our kB along with a free question to
our Engineers. Why don't you try the service and then let us know what you
think of it. I'll post a note here on the forum within the next few days
when the free trial starts.

ok.. i had to check this out.. :)
registered, and took a look around.. not much there unless you pay?
did i miss something? $19.95 for KB membership? how does it differ
from the following?
http://oasis.palm.com/dev/kb/browse.cfm?type=1
? someone trying to make a quick buck here? what bothers me is how
devnation may obtain its information (which users must pay for) -
do they take it from developer forums like this??
if so, what right do they have to take our comments and archive them
without our permission - let alone sell rights to access them. its
kinda making me think twice about helping anyone on this list anymore.
whats up with devnation? i have been a bit sick lately - so i surely
must have missed something.. palm seems to be sponsoring it?
the issue of ask a question and it'll be answered in 72 hours is an
interesting one.. what happens if they dont answer? :) i am think of
a few questions :)

I think the comments become public, unless disclaimered otherwise,
though they cannot reproduce them without your express permission, since you
officially own the rights to your own works, including email.

I wonder even more if the questions you ask will somehow show up here
on the forums, under some various random usernames. Perhaps they seed the
forums with questions, then get the responses and format them back to their
paying userbase?
</conspiracy theory mode>
Personally, I find that 'rgrep -C' through my massena.com newsspool
and through my palm-dev-forum mail folders tend to find the answers pretty
quickly, plus knowing how to properly format a search engine query.
