On another topic, Microwarehouse’s mid-year sale is on Friday and Saturday. Its website says the pricelist will be uploaded today. Except great offers on Palm and other products.

Recognizing Facebook’s huge membership — having been “recently ranked by M:Metrics as one of the sites people visit most often on their mobile devices” — Palm created Facebook for Palm.

I downloaded and tried to install it on my Treo 650, but it isn’t compatible with my device. Facebook for Palm is supposed to work with Palm Centro, Treo 755p and Treo 680 smartphones.

Here are more details about Facebook for Palm from the official Palm blog:

You can use Facebook for Palm to:

• Send and receive messages
• View and post status updates
• View and post photos from your smartphone
• See your friends’ profiles and photos
• Read and write Wall posts
• View News Feed
• Upload videos taken from your Palm smartphone
• Use a mobile “Contacts” tab that aggregates friends phone numbers – view your list of friends and dial or text them directly

Maybe Palm could also come up with Friendster for Palm and Orkut for Palm for its customers in Asia and South America, respectively.

StyleTap Platform, I learned, is a mobile software that enables thousands of applications written for Palm OS to run on other devices. Styletap for WM has long been available, while a version for Symbian is already in beta testing. The iPhone version will be released this July.

A free 14-day trial of StyleTap Platform may be downloaded for free on its official website. A registered copy costs US $49.95.

Isn’t it great to know that you may enjoy the wifi capability of WM and Apple devices and still run your favorite Palm apps on it?

My second post there, after the intro post, is about Blog Almighty’s contest. The posting of links was extended, so I’m copy-pasting my entry here:

Their free games include a series of IPuzzle Basic games, Logic Puzzle, Roman Table, Illusion Cubes, JoQPo, HandMemory, Stonestris and Triball. I downloaded and installed IPuzzle Basic edition 6 and Stonestris. IPuzzle is basically a sliding puzzle where you move squares one at a time to to correctly complete an image. Stonestris, is — of course — a tetris game. Handycase games may not be as crisp as the usual commercial ones, but they are still worth trying.

Other freeware from them include HandTube, a utility for YouTube users; HandClock, an analog clock; Priorities, an app that organizes your priorities; FreeContacts, a contacts and reminder suite; HandDraw, a paint-type app for Palm; TopicList, a to-do-list-type app that organizes information and tasks; and HandWriter, a text editor.

Handycase also offers a diverse line of commercial software for personal, professionals and corporate use.

Filipino Palm users who want to meet other Palm users may be interested in joining this event. If you’re not yet a member, visit www.mapalad.org and be one of us.

Aside from being a great discussion forum for all things Palm-related, Mapalad.org has a classified ads section where you may buy Palm previously owned products and accessories.

I thought it was a Java-plugin problem, so I thought I install the necessary plugin first, then would update the post after the problem is resolved. I guess I was wrong in thinking it had something to do with Java, as it appeared to be a Flash-plugin issue, as discussed in this bug report on LaunchPad. As one of the commenters said, this problem “is present on 64-bit hard drive installations,” such as mine.

For now, I could only search for possible solutions, or use FTP for image uploads while waiting for the experts to resolve this issue.

I was using Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) before I upgraded. Probably due to the various experiments I was doing with my PC, as well as some incorrect and incomplete program installations, my PC started getting sluggish. My Firefox 3 Beta kept on freezing and turning gray, and there were instances when the system kept on restarting on its own.

So after learning that the newest version is ready to be downloaded, I starting sorting my files and backing up on DVDs those that I needed to keep. I also downloaded and created a Hardy Heron installation CD for AMD64 systems.

Last Sunday, I finally completed the backups, so I proceeded with the upgrade. I chose to wipe out everything on my PC as I wanted to do a clean install. The process, however, was interrupted by an error with the LiveCD that I was using.

I had to install an older version first so I could download another copy of the installation CD. This time, I followed Ed’s advice to burn the ISO file at a lower speed. I also created an extra copy, just in case the first one malfunctions.

I was relieved when my installation — with Tagalog as the system languange — was completed successfully. I noticed that Hardy Heron was already using the Firefox 3 beta version. There was no need to tweak my router settings as it worked perfectly, and my Internet connection seemed faster than usual.

Installing the Flash plugin is easier with Hardy Heron — I was done with just a few clicks on the Synaptic program manager. I was able to watch YouTube videos later. My USB speaker wouldn’t work, however. A system restart after configuring the sound settings solved the problem.

I then installed Thunderbird, an e-mail client; Epiphany, a web browser; KTorrent, a torrent client; Twitux, a Twitter client; and NetSurf. Twitux and Netsurf have since been removed: I didn’t like the first; the second did not work.

Next on my to-do list is the installation of JPilot so I could sync my Palm Treo 650 with my Ubuntu-powered PC. Based on my past experience, I should not even worry about it. I shall tell you about when I’m done.
