That'll be next on my list, remains to be seen how fast/convenient it
is - I've found that many (even native CE) apps don't interact very
well with my Neonode's input system - unfortunately sweeping up the
screen is the command for opening the main menu or keyboard (depending
where you do it) - and that's just what I want to do to scroll the
document - also things like file>open dialogs don't work all that well
since the screen is to small to display them properly...

It's not really the phone's fault - it wasn't intended for people to
run native CE apps, it just so happens that it's a custom shell on top
of CE so some people have a go all the same ;o)

Oh, OK - I did recall a setting in Sunrise to apply custom
stylesheets, but I've not used it since my Treo600 got smashed up so I
could be wrong...

Ah, this is where regional differences show up big time!! :o)

I'm from the UK where our mobile data is served up by GPRS which costs
between �3 and �1 per MB - yes you read it right!! Imagine having to
pay around $5 for a single megabyte!! There's that, plus two other
factors: firstly I do most of my reading on the Underground (Metro) so
no GPRS connectivity there, and secondly, the image resizing saves a
fair bit of space...(I imagine!)

I'm trying to get my head around Sitescooper as an alternative, but
it's all Perl and text/config files - what a pallaver! ;o) Sunrise was
just so easy (I do miss my Treo!)
