I would gladly pay $50 or more for a modern, supported browser for the Jornada HPC line. Pocket IE and ftx are failing at enough sites these days to really raise my frustration level through the roof. I tried hex editing Netfront 3.0, but was only partially successful. It would run, but the address bar was missing and the menus just said "foo." I wouldn't think it would be very difficult for them to polish it up and release it as a supported product, as it is already at least partially functional. They would pick up at least several hundred new users, judging by the continual wailing on all the HPC forums.

Snappy, please add me to your petition. Like Rocketman, I would gladly pay $50 or more for a modern, supported browser. Like you, I need it for a MIPS processor. I would also want it to support an 800 x 600 screen since it would be for a MobilePro '890' (an MP 880 upgraded with a 790 ROM) -- this should not be a problem for well-written code.

hi BruceHungerford,

if you already have the MIPS version of the netfront (3.0) cab file, you only need this:

This thread is the petition! and I am keeping count ... once it hits 50, I will compile the users and send a mail to Access and see if they can build one for HPC2000. Granted 50 is not a HUGE base, but its a start. Maybe enough to give them the nudge in the right direction.

Why not use
http://www.ipetitions.com/index.html
? Or any other petition site.
Ofcourse the reliability of the persons that signs isn't as good as when you "chat" with every singel one.

Count on me, Snappy! I was away for two days, so I did not ping the Access people, yet. I suggest that if we get a positive or at least reluctant answer that we contact all known moderators of similar Web pages to follow us.
