What's Your Favourite Software for the HP Jornada 720?

Tomorrow my HP Jornada 720 will arrive and I'm curious what kind of software I should run on it. So for some ideas I figured I'd ask you guys what you run on your Jornada 720 or similar compatible devices

Thanks for the great suggestions! I'll be sure to check those out when my Jornada gets here. Out of curiosity, what are the best ways to get online to use those online applications?

I mostly just download the file online ideally the .cab or direct exe installer and copy the file to a cf card connected to your computer

Im finally getting around to getting JLime up and running on my 690. Wish me luck ! :-)

Sorry I didn't read your post correctly haha.

You can use an Ethernet Card, or if you have an old secondary wireless router to broadcast WEP security, because the Jornada 720 will not work with WPA

But yeah, I have a WEP wifi PC card and also ethernet card as well
User @joval I believe uses an ethernet card connected to a device that's powered by USB to feed the wifi connection over to the ethernet card. I think this thread will assist too

As for selecting a Wifi and or Ethernet Card:
Wifi, I recommend the Cisco Aironet 350

Or some people like the Orinoco Cards as well

But basically you can typically go on eBay and use the HCL here
https://www.hpcfactor.com/hcl/default.asp
to find a compatible device
I recommend sticking with something that's in the HCL because it increases the chance that the device will actually work with the 720. Furthermore, check the compatibility listings and see what users marked as already working with the 720. That could be helpful too

I've found this...

I did not tested any of them, btw

Nice find! I'll have to try some of these out! I really love when people find sources for downloading software that isn't gatekept by the stupid/malicious owners of HPC Factor!

Lo siento, pero te he reportado por falta de respeto.

Me siento insultado por tus palabras y tu actitud negativa.

Puedes opinar lo que quieras pero dentro del respeto hacia las personas que componen este foro.

Look, I can appreciate people’s differing opinions even if I don’t agree. In fact, you strike me as an intelligent person.
But coming to the forum, name calling and not contributing anything else other than dredging up various threads is just…
I don’t know what to say.

If you want to be here, we’re happy to have you here. We’re a nice community, I’d like to think. I hope you’d take the time to just talk to us normally and engage in conversation.

Best regards.

@crait For the umpteenth time, this site isn't selling the software; subscriptions pay for the bandwidth and general maintenance. Why is this so difficult to understand?

I think he's a bit frustrated with the lack of working sw for the 720s that's still around there, and I think he has gotten a little more than frustrated with the forum rules too... And he has lost his manners. Why so much anger, man? Be patient, and in a year or so, especially if you contribute, you will be able to access the HPC files.

And I don't want @crait to think we're all ganging up. Nor do I feel we are. I just want to do my part to make them feel welcome, even if I disagree with their perspective.
Clearly, he does have experience/intelligence with software development, and I always have respect for people who do.

There are reasons the site has that policy - and there are reasons why crait feels the way he feels about it. I think we can be welcoming, but I do believe it's a two way street. Crait and I can disagree about the site's policies, nor do I intend to go on a diatribe about trying to change his mind.

I don't think the name-calling, dredging up multiple threads is the solution to the issue though.

We can debate the merits of it without resorting to that.

As always, best wishes and regards,
torch

I'm not a big fan of the paywalled software, but it's not that big of a deal. I was happy to give a couple bucks to a site I use all of the time, anyway.
