FYI java will no longer be on the palm site (info via Palm's blog post today...)

Get the Java VM as described above. (note: as described in the email, below) 2. Make sure your Palm can connect to the Internet, then launch the Java VM. (Note, it's called "IBM Java VM") 3. Select Install and enter http://mini.opera.com/mini.jad <http://mini.opera.com/mini.jad> for the URL. 4. Enjoy! ----------------- Opera, in the first 30 or so seconds of operation, seems unremarkable. I'll look further, but it certainly doesn't grab one right out of the chute!

Opera Mini is here: http://www.operamini.com/download/pc/palm/palm_treo_755p/ <http://www.operamini.com/download/pc/palm/palm_treo_755p/> Palm OS Java Virtual Machine is here (updated in 2007): http://www.palm.com/us/support/jvm/download.html?AID=10468054&PID=645730 <http://www.palm.com/us/support/jvm/download.html?AID=10468054&PID=64573 0> Beware: the Zip file says it's 1.77mg, but it's 11.8mb. I'm going now to try to just do what the instructions say and see if it works in a way that it didn't work last year.

I tried to download and install the pieces of this last year and found roadblock after roadblock to getting it done, and gave up. If someone could document pointers to exactly what needs to be downloaded that would be great!!

On initial, quick inspection Opera is nice because it shows a reduced image of the whole web page which you can quickly zoom in on. Also, being able to quickly move the page around with your finger is very cool (iPhone-ish). On the down side Java VM and Opera aeemed to take up a lot of disk space, but I need to check that.

I think I installed it backwards last time and it never worked well but that was several months ago. I'll try again. Do you really find a difference or benefit (s) between OM and Blazer?
