How do you unsubscribe (Was: Classic emulator interface on Palm Pre)
Discussions like this help me realize that I don't belong here. My cell phone voice and data plan is less expensive than my landline voice and data and I can get higher data rates on the cell phone. So, which is more 'sensible'? Every phone that I have ever had with ATT has had the capability to connect to a PC to access the photos that I shot on it. Text and data plans are separately charged items on ATT; if you don't want them, don't sign up for them. Most people who keep a calendar would prefer NOT to bring a laptop with them as well. Most of my apps don't use any of the fancy new features on modern devices. However, those modern features enable a bunch of really interesting possibilities for future versions of those apps and new apps. So, how does one unsubscribe from this list these days? The URL appended to the bottom of these messages is no good any more and the instructions to unsubscribe are not in any obvious place on the page that you get redirected to. alan Don Albertson wrote: I think it's more accurate to say that all the extras above and beyond the ability to make and receive phone calls are secondary to my needs. I got my Centro for $50 when I renewed my basic ATT contract -- which I would have done anyway because I get a discount. I no longer carry my E2 and a phone that takes pictures of the inside of my pocket but won't connect to my PC to share them. I can manage my calendar and my contacts using a real keyboard and keep the one at work sync'd to the one at home. I may not be typical, but I suspect that given the choice of having a sensible phone service plan over a full data plan a lot more people would take the sensible option. This, however, is not in the best interests of Spring, ATT, Verizon, et al. so you won't see sensible options -- just more ways to bill for airtime (whether you use it or not). dga Lee Church wrote: The days of the $200 PDA are gone forever. The Palm market lasted longer than most (Windows Mobile manufacturers exited several years ago, and the low-end HP units are now $400 +). If you want just a Palm OS device w/o phone then the Acceda and the Janam units will have to do. I do find your comment that phone service is secondary to our real needs somewhat myopic. None of my customers carry only a PDA and no cell phone. Asked which they would give up first, I would bet the PDA would lose. So let's do some math: option 1 would have been to buy a Tungsten E2 at $200, and get a free phone with a cell contract at $49 per month, and I carry 2 devices. Option 2 would have been (and now is) to pay $99 for a Centro (current market price in my area), plus $49 per month for cell service, and I carry one device. So option 2 costs me less money and cuts my device count in half; that seems like a good deal for the consumer. It's not the PDA portion of the device that costs $49 - 159 per month, it's the cell service. *From:* luis maldonado [mailto:luis.maldon...@hotmail.com] *Sent:* Wednesday, April 08, 2009 9:27 AM *To:* Palm Developer Forum *Subject:* RE: Classic emulator interface on Palm Pre Whatever the solution is in moving our apps to the new webOS platform is fine. however, it doesn't solve the issues of the PDA platform disappearing from the face of the planet leaving a PDA market without the necessary hardware to run these applications that are more of a realtime data collections than phone conversations. the beauty of the TX and similar PDAs is their pricing structure, once that is gone, then we have the Symbols and the like able to charge an exhorbitant price for PDAs which are used just to collect data and nothing more. so we're stuck with an expensive monthly phone service which is secondary to our real needs... There is a market out for these units, it's just not sexy enough and offcourse it doesn't have the 49.99 to 159.99 monthly service fee tag to go along with it Luis.

Re: Alternate platforms

With ALP, Android and an iPhone SDK coming up, I wonder how many of you are planning on not developing for palm anymore. Any comments? I have stopped work on the Palm version of my automotive rally competition apps, but I really stopped working on them a while ago when I got too busy competing in and organizing rallies to work on the apps.

Re: Palm OS Developer Program
Mine wasn't deleted, which I thought was amazing because it has been a long time since I accessed the site. However, my creator ids and applications were messed up. I have four applications and creator ids. Two showed up OK in the application list and two did not. If I click on the application name link in the application list, the creator ids for the missing applications show up in the creator id pull down (however, the creator id for the applications that appear to have been transferred OK does not show up). Odd. alan Acrocat wrote: Yep - mine is deleted too. Actually, two of ours are gone. What was so complicated about tranferring the accounts, I wonder.

Re: Palm OS's Future
I develop applications for use is road and stage rally (auto) competition. The work has been basically dormant for the last couple years as I have been doing product research (i.e., out competing) that I should have done earlier. As I get back into product development, my primary platform will be Palm and the area that I am expanding development in is Symbian. alan Drew Haninger wrote: the other up and coming is the Symbian platform, but there are a lot of people that will never leave their Palm's.

Re: StrCat help
Exactly what do you want to do?
StrCat wants two strings, a sequence of 0 or more characters terminated
by a NULL. This sequence of characters is referred to by a pointer to
the first character in the sequence.
P[i] is a single character and P[i] is effectively a reference to the
string starting i characters into the array P, right?
I think using (void)StrNCat(str, P[i], 1) instead of StrCat will
accomplish the immediate goal of what you want to do, but you might want
to think about your approach to the bigger problem.

Subject: Re: StrCat help
The problem is being that StrCat(str, P[i]) doesn't
compile and StrCat(str, P[i]) gives me the whole
string P instead of just one char.
Char * P = TblGetItemPtr(table, row, column);
for (i = 0; i len; i++) {
if (P[i] == '~')
...
else
StrCat(str, P[i]);
Hope some of you can help me out here.

Anyone else getting requests like this ...
Hi guys, I write and distribute a bunch of small applications for use in rally competition (automotive competition that requires being at particular places at particular times). One of my applications is a specialized stopwatch for use in a particular type of rally competition (TSD). TSDWatch is the name of the application. I am distributing my current applications as shareware and make the source code available to most anyone who requests it. I was receiving so many requests for the TSDWatch application from folks who were trying to make a custom stopwatches for applications that had nothing to do with rally that I made up a simple, sample stopwatch application that folks could use or add features as they need them and started distributing that source code instead. In the last week, something odd has happened. I have received three very similar requests for the TSDWatch source code. Two of them also asked how to load applications into POSE as well, which seemed kinda odd. Has anyone else received similar requests? alan perry Snowmoose Software -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Just have to say ...
I know this is OT, but I just have to express my frustrations. Due to user demand, I have been porting my Palm rally applications over to PocketPC and I have to say that it is a total pain in the butt. It is really sad, because you can get an IDE (with integrated debugger) from MS for free, but the PocketPC/Windows APIs suck and the help doesn't.

Menus, pre PalmOS 3.5
I have an application that I have written to an old PalmOS API to allow it to run on old, out-of-date Palm hardware. This question concerns menus and does not use the dynamic menus introduced in 3.5 (that's when, right?). The application has text that is updated by timing out the event wait at the top of the event loop (to cause flashing and update a clock display). However, the display area that has the flashing and clock display is near the top of the display and runs into problems when the menu is selected. Is there an event that I can catch to turn off the flashing and clock update when the user goes into the menu. Are the silkscreened button and the shortcuts the only way into the menu? What event should I catch to turn the flashing and clock update back on? Thanks in advance. alan -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
