Huh.  So it *does* run on the TX.

I'll have to give it another shot.  Not sure which version I have - it
was one Dmitry Grindberg originally ripped out of a Clie.  I looked at
an assortment of browsers on the Zodiac, including the one Tapwave
bundled, Opera Mini, Xiino, Novarra Nweb, and Netfront.  Netfront was
the best of the lot, but that wasn't saying much.

What do you use now?

There were several ssh clients.  Pssh was the one I got to actually
work.  I sshed into servers at my then employer, mostly to see if I
could, but I wouldn't have wanted to do anything substantial that way.

I have Snapper here, but never really wanted to do email on the Palm.
I use GMail as my main account, prefer the web interface, and the mail
can bloody well wait till I'm at a proper machine to read and reply
from.

The real fun part in migrating to a new device isn't the apps, it's the data.
