Re: [Wlug] Sharp's Linux PDA

by Brad Noyes

It does run Qtopia (f.k.a. QT palmtop). I think it also comes with Opera embeded as well. I have Qtopia running on my Ipaq. There's more info at http://qpe.sourceforge.net. It's pretty functional, i think that the one thing it's missing is natural handwriting recognition. It only have a character recognizer like the palm.

context menu in mozilla 0.9.9

by Baris Hasdemir

hi, I want to put a URL link to one of the context menus in Mozilla. Do you think it is possible? Do you think I have to deal with the source of the program?(which I don't think I can) Or is there another way to alter the values in the context menus? For example, I will highlight a word on a web page, and when right click on it, mozilla will query dict.org with my highlighted word, on a new browser window. I hope my question is clear. thanks, baris
