I got an email about the release of the new beta (2) for the Palm Garnet VM and checked it out briefly tonight. The main features seem to be functioning in full screen mode in either portrait or landscape which is slick. You’ll of course have access to the full library of Palm applications which is nice, though honestly as interesting as that seems the low-res nature of things compared to how my Maemo apps view on the N810 kills this for me … that and it’s been several years since I actively cared about Palm OS.
I did a quick install of ChatterMail and connected to my Gmail IMAP account. Seemed to generally work as expected though between the richer native web UI or Modest this still remains a proof of concept.

Tonight I learned from Gerry Moth and Matt Stevens that Google Reader has been updated for the iPhone … which of course means it works great on the S60 Platform as well as the Nokia Tablets running the MicroB (mozilla) browser. I tried this tonigh on the N82 using the S60 webkit browser but as soon as I saw it in action I knew I wanted to use the tablet instead.
I shot this quick video on the N82 in my kitchen so I apologize for the out of focus text. I think the point is still quite clear … this is a great way for anyone to enjoy Google Reader on the go!
I’m definitely switching from the standard /m site which only offers a single item at a time. This is MUCH more efficient and works well even over EDGE.

Thanks to this post on Nokia Beta Labs, I’ve just learned that there’s finally Mac support in the Internet Tablet Video Converter Application which is great news. I’ve used the Windows version in virtualization mode previously but am looking forward to testing this out now as well.
In other news… sorry it’s been a while. I’ve been pretty wrapped up with work and travel. More soon … have a Hava in the house and will have a report to share in the next few days.
