Of all the PQAs I have downloaded only the 10% seems to work.
Most of the PQAs in the web are from companies long time gone.
Anybody know if people is still working on them or is just considered a dead technology?

I think PQAs are quite usefull, specially since you can open them directly from the launcher and they are very fast and simple to use.

There are a few working PQAs that I like:
Moviefone
switchboard yellow pages or verizon superpages
lookWAYup (dictionary and thesaurus)

and of course the In-N-Out location PQA


Yed.

I have about 10 pqas and they all work. Most are from way back when I first got my 6035, so a few years. I would imagine as more and more smartphones have better browsers, faster connections you will see less of them.

Which ones do not work?

I really love PQAs! They are so efficient, quick to download information, and lightweight. It is a fact though that they are going the way of the dodo, especially with OS5. This was another reason I came back to the I500 from the Treo 600, I missed my PQAs

Here's my list of PQAs (all of which work):
Ameritrade
Merriam Webster Dictionary
Directory Assistant
eBay
ESPN
In-N-Out Locator
LookWayUp
MapQuest
MovieFone
OAG Mobile
Travelocity
United
Weather
Yahoo

3) Blue Devil - drink list
4) JobSearch

6) Where2Go - Toilet locator..

here is a big graveyard of PQAs

http://wireless.palm.net/apps/users/main/1,1019,,00.html

some still work, but most are from the better times of the internet....sad.

The ebay PQA is still working for me.

What exactly are PQA's. Are they the same as portals? Do I have to download a program? If I do where could I get it? Thanks.

Moviephone and espn sports are the ones that I use, and they still work. Directory assistance, however, has never worked on my 7135.

A cuple more PQAs that I found interesting:

Fodor's - hotel and restaurant finder for mayor cities
ATMs-Visa - Search for ATMs of the Visa/Electron/Plus network near an address
BigCharts - Stock graphics, quotes and news
chp - Realtime California Highway Patrol Incidents....great for finding out the reason of that traffic jam.
OAG - Flight schedules and status of some airlines.


Yed.

Where did you find these?

You can download all those from the PQA graveyard...

Yed.

Anyone know if all these PQAs share the same 400KB history "cache?" If one is using alot of these PQAs, the histories could really add up!

Some of these applications don't make sense -- why would you need to re-read yesterday's stock quote?
