More Zaurus Applications
I fully support open applications especialy on linux, commercial apps may be superior for some jobs and I like to have the choice. I finaly put up a site with the Hancom, Opera, and Jeode ipk's. If you have a Zaurus SL-5500 a license was bought for these apps so now you can reinstall them. The files I have found are tweaked to run on OZ and I tested them under OZ 3.2. They load a little slower than the Opie equivelants but all provide a richer set of options. There is no longer support for these programs from their vendors.
My search began when I was unable to read an Excel file in Opie-Sheet, Opie-Sheet uses its own format and is compatable only with other copies of Opie-Sheet. Hancom Word takes over ten minutes to load on my Z since it appears to search the whole 1Gb MMC card for possible files. I rarely need the MS-Word compatibility so this is not a big problem, I can always plug in and let hancom word load as the battery charges or just use opie-write.
Opie is feature dense compared to Konqueror-embedded even allowing full screen browsing, but loads and runs slower. I dont see a way to turn off images but I love the popups-with-permission-only in Opera.
Z-radio was a big dissapointment this app was supposed to stream net radio stations but with no apparent settings I am stuck with the defunct web-stream links that were built in. I can stream static MP3 files off the net from Opie-Mediaplayer so this is not such a big loss but m3u streams seem not to work in the version I have.
Play with the IPK's I have made available at
