hello list,

little intro about my pocket profile:
	i've been around pockets for some years, specially linux supported ones,
waiting and monitoring the minimo project, my congratulations for the
mozilla/minimo team.
	today i've a Eten M500 with windos mobile 2003 se
(http://etencorp.com/products/Communication/500.php) running minimo 010, so i
confirm trough this mail that this pocket is supported.
	i installed familiar v4 linux distro on compaq ipaq 3670 some years ago and had
a sharp zaurus too, in those days the minimo proyect was comented and linux
related in the mozilla comunity, today a wince port is up and running, so the
masses can enjoy the web and a true browser.
	i'm a linux only user from 1997, so linux on all devices is my preference, but
the pocketpc market is not so open, by now...

the point:
	i've been testing some xul stuff on minimo, hoping xulrunner to be pocketized
(wince by wide device support) one day (Dough, is it planned or out of your
initiative scope?).

	well, some test's i've done trying to access local (file:///page.html) html
files trough addressbar don't work, i saw minimo does not popup an error
message, only do nothing like in other error situations.

	my question is if the file:// protocol is supported.

	i'll be deploying/researching a new pocket proyect in next month's, trying to
be minimo centric if possible, so many things will happen and reported.

	good luck.
