Palm has silently posted an update to its Java VM about three weeks ago(July 13th).
BrightHand lists the following improvements:
Added NetLibSocketConnect time out. Now handles overriding Displayable.getTitle. Fixed alt key producing ‘?’ on Treo 680 and 700. Fixed virtual keys, home, etc., now quit Java app. Fixed CustomItem.keyReleased and keyRepeated.
While Palm dropped support for Tungsten T2, Tungsten W and Zire 71 handhelds, most other OS5 machines including the Treo 600 and the Palm Tungsten E(E1) are still supported. Palm states the following devices to be supported:
Treo 600, Treo 650, Treo 680 and Treo 700 P smartphones, T|X, Tungsten C, Tungsten T3, Tungsten E, Tungsten E2, Tungsten T5 and Zire 72 handhelds, LifeDrive mobile manager.
The VM can be downloaded for free here – you apparently no longer need to enter a valid serial number.
P.s. Palm folks…a press release about this would have been TOO nice…

Note that this update also includes the files/dlls needed for the PalmOS simulators. With the previous version they were not included and you had to get them separately from the Access website.
I just upgraded and noticed that Opera Mini 4 beta is *much* more stable now. I’m actually able to use it for light browsing now. Thanks for the information!
I think you still need to enter data about your device, purchase date etc.:

Not if you use this link (from the PalmAddict RSS feed).

I must be doing something wrong, but when I download the file, I get a message saying an external application must be launched. When I hit “ok,” nothing happens.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
After re-reading that, what I guess I mean to say is that the last time I downloaded this app., I didn’t need any external application. I just installed the .prc files.
Of course, the direct download link worked also with the old version. But it’s not Palm’s “official” link
Where can someone download this now?
IBM direct?
I have a Cingular/ATT 650
Anybody help?
Thanks,
would like a direct download link for ibm java vm for my treo 650
