Hi,

I was just wondering:

1) How would you rate the speed of Jlime running on a Jornada 680 (or 690/720 etc) as compared to native CE 2.11? Does Jlime run at a decent speed? (including loading software).

2) How about web browsing? Can it load more sophisticated/modern pages than pocket IE 3

3) How's other software like GAIM run? Acceptably?

Cheers,
Sam

Hi,

The new Donkey release for Jornada 6xx runs at least as fast as CE in most peoples opinion. It features Konqueror Embedded, which offers almost desktop class browsing. Not sure about GAIM, never tried it. I have used an IRC application and thats very fast.

You could try asking at the JLime forum...

Gaim runs fine, but its icons are too big for the screen. To run well, you would need to modify this aspect of the program.

Any significant advantage to getting a jornada 690 over a 680 in terms of jlime? Is it worth getting a 720/728 under the assumption that the 7xx version will eventually be equivallent to the 6xx version or should I just stick to 6xx? I'd like to get one of these units but don't want to wait forever

Thanks!

Yeah, and if you get a 728, you can practically run anything...seriously. Abiword (gtk2 bloated version), Firefox (gtk2 bloated version)...it all runs - and fast too, I heard.

Cmonex, I don't think he was asking about the speed of 2000. I guess he has already ditched CE for Linux.
