Palm Zire 72/72s

 * Model: Palm Zire 72, Palm Zire 72s (identical except for case colour)
 * OS: Palm OS 5.2.8
 * Browser: Novarra Web Pro 3.5
 * Wikipedia usability: very good for reading, editing and images
 * Problems: No UTF-8, can only be used with languages that work in 7-bit ASCII (e.g. en:)

I found this highly usable with Graffiti 2. Readable text, good images, editing is quite usable - David Gerard 00:28, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Palm Tungsten C

 * Model: Palm Tungsten C
 * OS: Palm OS 5.2.1
 * Browser: PalmSource Web Browser 2.0
 * Wikipedia usability: unusable.
 * Problems: Unreadably misrendered text.

Web Browser 2.0 is unusable because the text is horribly misrendered. This is terribly disappointing because otherwise the Tungsten C is a really nice portable WiFi device. You can buy an upgrade to Web Pro 3.5, which I assume will alleviate the problem - David Gerard 00:28, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Palm Tungsten T5

 * Model: Palm Tungsten T5
 * OS: Palm OS 5.3?
 * Browser: Blazer
 * Wikipedia usability: difficult.
 * Problems: Only works in wide-screen mode (crashed T5 in portrait mode).

It's all there but a readable font leads to the article being squashed in a narrow column and a corrospondingly long page length. Unfortunately, the navigation sidebars on the left occupy a lot of the available display width, so it could be improved substantially if their location was configurable. I didn't try all the configuration options in Blazer so maybe there are ome improvements I could make, Alternatively, someone else recommended TomeRaider to me. Astronaut 01:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
