A new PDF viewer, PalmPDF,  is being developed - hopefully will remain as freeware

Knew about it since a few days ago but have not tried it out yet.  Wonder will it work in 160x160 Treo 600?

Dunno - why not try? Will be testing out on a T3 later....Will post results here

Ya, I will try with my Zire71 first.  Can't afford a hard reset on my Treo.  Pity didn't bring it to work to try.

Tried it on my T3. Kinda slow loading the page and slower still zooming in and out. But panning around the page is quite fast. Version 0.4 still needs alot of work but shows promise. Hope the author can keep at it.

Can't make it work in Zire71 at all.  Suffered few soft resets.  Even with a very small less than 40K file size.  Maybe it needs a faster processor like T3.  Maybe i will wait for next version.

The more likely issue with the Z71 is memory heap. I know for a fact that it's real low. I never managed to run any kind of emulator on it.
