The Audible.com audio book software won't run with the 240x240 display. It recognizes that the display skin does't fit and bails out. Man am I bummed. Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon.

AstraWare Sodoku works 240x240.

Journal Bar will load but does not fit. You cannot modify it at all.
I have emailed customer support and they have no plans as of yet to updated it.

This is one of my favorite applications !

Here is the general email address:

info@omegaone.com

Here is the link to support for Journal Bar:

http://www.omegaone.com/support/jbform.htm

If you like this application either email them or use the form.

Thanks !

I stopped using Journal Bar long ago due to its memory leak issue. I would write to OmegaOne and voice your concern. They offer free updates, but what good are free updates if they don't fix the problems and address resolution needs.

I did write to them and they told me that they know about it but have nothing in the works.

I am unaware of the "memory leak" issue. Can you tell me more ?

Also, what would you suggest using instead ?

Magic button works fine for a free way to have the close button really "close", not minimize a program. Available here:

In previous version of JB little by little the available memory was disappear. Omega Once claimed it was due to the way MS implements the today screen plugins and ultimately they could do nothing. So I refuse to use their apps even though they are free upgrades for me and I tell people to stay clear as well.

Has anyone tried using MS Reader to play Audible.com audio books. Since the audible player software won't run on the hw6500's 240x240 screen this might be another way of listening to your audio books.

Audible just sent me an email about new AudiblePlayer software. Should solve hw6515 240x240 screen compatibility problems!

I'm still waiting for the hw6715/6915 so I can't confirm the fix but if anyone does try it then please post results.

I am currently working on updating the list of software and preparing one for the Treo 700w as well since they both are 240*240 (treo does get WM5).

I ordered the Symantec AV for Handhelds but the latest version that installed on my PPC is v3.0.0.194. Can you please tell me where did you obtain the v3.0.198? The version I have have a little bit cut-off of the screen on the bottom. Thanks.

HP endorses all of these as hw6500-compatible:

http://www.ipaqchoice.com/Generic3.a...hw6500Software

So far I can vouch for:

Games Pack 1 - Classic Games (hw6500)
Mastersoft Mobile Solutions

Christmas Chess
Mastersoft Mobile Solutions

Calendar Bar
Omega One

as compatible.

This one is screen-compatible:

Mastersoft PAQman
Mastersoft Mobile Solutions

but it runs too slow to be worth anything as a game.

Beside the already mentioned apps, Metro (http://nanika.net/Metro) works perfectly. In fact, the software shows the main vertical scroll bar but you don't actually need it since the program detect that screen resolution and provides it own scroll bar. So you sometimes end up with two scroll bars (vertical but don't cover any info) but otherwise works fine.

Mercury

It'll be nice if the links can be hyperlinked or list the websites for these applications. Just listing the names of the compatible applications doesn't do any good to a new user.

Thanks

Sky Force is now 240x240 ready and there's more . . .

Great news for all those users who have been waiting for Sky Force to be square aware, well the wait is over. SKY FORCE PPC (240x240) v1.22 is now available at handango. If you previously purchased Sky Force on your last PPC and want it on your 240x240 PPC you simply need to email the folks at Infinite Dreams and they will help you out.

You can also check out the Handango link below.

Omega One has indicated they are working on a Journal Bar 240x240 but no time frame was given.

I have also opted to keep the Treo 700w and HW6500/6900 app threads in tandem changes to one will go to the other.

I m surpised you didnt mention Nyditot Virtual Display! I have been running for 2 days now on my hw6515.
65xx has odd square screen 240x240 which 80% s/w out there do not support. Nearly every one of them support 240x320. So NVD can fill this gap.

I configure the joystick for panning. its great.

It is now added, but at the time the 6515 was launched last year NVD did not work properly on the 6515. Good to hear its working well now.
