Maybe they are going to release something in the next OS release (when we might even get some GPRS APIs as well).
I'm currently writing for a Handspring Treo running OS 3.5 so they will do me fine, although it does kinda pigeon-hole my app into only running on a couple of devices. Am I correct in thinking that the format of the network preferences is no longer standard across all devices (since you mention new devices not having the same NetworkDB format) ? cheers Steve -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
