HandyShopper 3.0.5 build 4325 (released July 25, 2008)

廣受好評的購物管理軟體 HandyShopper 更新，這個版本對於 5 向鍵操作和硬體鍵的操作有新的定義，我覺得這是很重要的。

v3.0.5 - build 4325 - July 25, 2008

On devices with a 5-way d-pad, the default action for pressing the center button now checks off
the highlighted item. There is a new "Hold center button to check item" option in the Misc tab of
the Preferences screen (not all devices support press+hold). The change in behavior is needed
because the Treo detection fix in v3.0 build 3930 led to HS finally realizing that several other
devices also had 5-way d-pads, which in turn led to some unexpected quirks on certain devices.

The Details screen now supports hardware navigation mode on devices that have the hardware
navigation feature (the blue aura that highlights the current control). Up/down still go to the
previous/next item.

Engadget 上不錯的 800w 評析，可惜這款機器只限於 Sprint 系統使用，我們無福消受。

Centroid 3.8 (updated)

Centroid 又開始支援 Treo 了，真開心，2.9 版以後增加 zones 的選項，可以把數個 GID 歸於同一個 zone 之下，更合乎日常使用經驗，不錯！

* Compatible with Treo 600, Treo 650, Treo
680 (GSM versions only). Uses direct connection to serial modem to read
CellID and LAC if device is not a Centro.

Weasel Reader 1.6.1 (updated)

距離上次更新已有一年，電子書閱讀軟體這回有大幅度的改版，我發現之前五向鍵支援不佳的問題已經解決了，而且增加最近開啟的十個文件列表。其他更新包括：

Weasel Reader v1.61

Monday, July 21, 2008

------------------------------

* Bugfix: Fix the version bitmap to show the correct value.

* Bugfix: Fix 5-way/D-pad support.

* Removed the "Use Hardware Button" option from the preferences form.

* Add a user adjustable key mapping for the DocView form to let users

decide what keys should do.

* Add a Key Prefs form to allow changing of the key map.

* Removed autoscroll pause/resume feature because it was tied to a particular

hard button (app button #2) and cannot be easily generalized to the key

key handling layer.

* Added a directory stack so Weasel now remembers the previous list

selection when you browse back to the previous directory. It's a very

simple method, however, and Weasel will not, for example, select the

correct entry if Weasel starts in a directory three levels down and you

browse to the parent directory because the directory stack will be empty

at that point.

* Bugfix: If you had >160 documents in any one location, Weasel would try to

allocate to much memory for the index and crash. Weasel now uses an

alternate method of allocating space for the index array and the limit is

now around 12000.

* Add a "Most Recently Read" list to Weasel which tracks recently read

documents. The list may be found in the root level of the index

browser. It keeps track of the last 10 opened documents. This number

can be altered in weasel.h to something higher/lower.

* Bugfix: When importing a doc from VFS to main mem, Weasel would fail

with the wrong error message if a doc with the same name already existed

in main memory. Weasel now falls back to readonly mode in this case.

* Added a 16bpp hi-res logo for the About dialog and removed the 8bpp hi-res

logo. The 8bpp hi-res logo doesn't look very good and most devices that

can display it can also do 16bpp. The only downside is that the 16bpp

logo adds 42K to the size of the PRC. But... devices have so much

storage these days. And you can still turn it off in the Makefile.

* Cleaned up the way DebugHostMsg works for non-UNIX platforms so that the

debug output sent to the Palm Reporter (the only way to get useful

output on Windows) isn't such a pain to read.

* Bugfix: When reaching the end of a document, Weasel would display 0.00%

instead of 100.00% in the status bar. Reported by c_hintz.

AttnGrab 2.0 (updated)

v2.0 (build 0612)
- There are now 2 profiles (called Active and Passive) that can be used to customize the way AttnGrab notifies you.
- Profiles can be activated manally or at a set time.
-
The profile can change while an alert is active and the new settings
will apply immediately. The exception to this is the LED colour, which
does not change.
- Massive code refactoring (I've been wanting to do
this and the large changes needed for profile support were a perfect
opportunity to do it).
- Added a button to let you test the beep parameters without having to create an alert.

Palminfocenter: Treo 800w Review - First Impressions

Palminfocenter: Palm Treo 800w Released on Sprint

Treo 800w 上市，目前限系統商 Sprint，售價 USD 249 起。

硬體內建 wifi 和 GPS，真是 Treo 近來最上道的機種了，可惜不是 Palm OS，而是 Windows Mobile 6.1 pro。不過，Palm 自己也擺明了說，以後 Palm OS 的機種 (還會有嗎？) 都叫 Centro。

自由軟體技術交流網 - LiPS組織加入LiMO

算舊聞了，也是 linux 手機系統規範組織之一的 LiPS，在 Nokia 買下 Symbian 的新聞發佈之後，宣佈加入 LiMO。如此一來，linux 手機系統能夠進一步整合。我們為何需要關心這個？因為 Access 也是 LiMO 成員之一，不曉得這對它推出新一代作業系統的規劃有何影響...
