Or so I've been told. I'm > just the hardware/Linux guy... ;) I downloaded Espial's Ebox (mail client) and Escape (browser) but they only provide JDK 1.1.x versions on the web site. They wouldn't run with my blackdown Java 2 (JDK1.2.2 FCS). The Espial docs say that there are Java2 versions, but they must be requested from Espial. I sent an email to yer company a few minutes ago requesting the Java2 versions. I have to say it seems strange (and annoying) that I can download the JDK 1.1 versions but have to make special requests for JDK 1.2 versions. I am looking forward to trying out Ebox and Escape. But the source code is obfuscated (class names are aa and ab and ac etc) and its not clear what the business model is, it appears that Espial wants to sell me a license with royalties (just guessing ...). Nothing wrong with that but I only want them for personal use at the moment. However, if they are good, I might have some actual commercial uses for these at some point down the road. I would prefer java-based mail and browser apps with source code though, so I can modify for wearability by adding speech and other interfaces like matrix keypads etc. -- Doug -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org please, Please, *PLEASE* don't subscribe through a forward/false domain
