While GMail can be accessed via any web-enabled phone (at http:\/\/m.gmail.com\/<\/em>), there’s a new Java-based GMail applet<\/a> that works much more slickly than the native web application. And it’s supported on the Treo 650. <\/p>\n

While some folks seem to have no trouble installing it, I couldn’t make it work until I followed these instructions<\/a> from Paul S. on the GMail boards.<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. \nRemove flash card to force installs to built-in flash storage\n<\/li>\n
  2. \nGo to palm.com site and download the IBM Websphere Java VM\n<\/li>\n
  3. \nInstall the Java VM according to Palm’s instructions (using Palm Desktop)\n<\/li>\n
  4. \nonce you install the JVM, load “IBM java” from applications, click install, enter “http:\/\/gmail.com\/app\/v1.0.0\/en\/gm-Palm-Treo_650.jad<\/a>” in the URL field. … <\/li>\n
  5. \nThat operation should end with “installation successful”.\n<\/li>\n
  6. \nGo to the application launcher and you should see the gmail app there. Run it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    The Java VM is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    The trick was that the Treo won’t recognize Java packages itself when downloaded (as the Google pages will try to do when you go to www.gmail.com\/app<\/em>). Instead, the app has to be installed from within the Java VM, which requires the full URL, which Paul mercifully managed to clean.<\/p>\n

    This is on a Treo 650 from AT&T Wireless (now Cingular). I’d removed the Java engine a while back, I believe, for the sake of space. YMMV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
