RoboForm for Palm version 2.0.1 crashed Classic whenever I tried to open a passcard.

Version 1.9.0 works, but it requires HotSync, unlike version 2.0.1. I hope MotionApps tests the RoboForm conduit.

I thought this was Classic approved. I'm still on my Treo and can't multitask to see

Would it be possible to run Garmin Mobile XT thru Classic ? I figured since Garmin works pretty good for the treo, centro, and most other Palms using PalmOS, that maybe it would work from Classic. Has anyone tried it yet ?

Acid Solitaire crashes (BSOD) regularly in Classic, but will normally work long enough to play a few games before it crashes. Sometimes it crashes on launch, though.. And LauncherX immediately does BSOD. MoonPhase immediately does BSOD.

BART Quick Planner was the darling palm pilot application in the SF Bay Area. It does not run in classic.

This was the original PDA application embraced by BART. It's popularity spawned a similar useful schedule for Caltrain (also crashes in classic). BART discontinued the Quick Planner for the Palm OS in 2009 and nobody has created a version for WebOS, yet BART offers open format schedules so that developers (hint hint) can recreate this essential 3rd party tool to embed in the Pre (the real-time web schedule is nice, but not as dependable).

Agendus Premiere works with issues (despite Iambic claiming full compatibility). Sometimes when adding or editing an entry Classic will blue screen (gray screen in 2.0) randomly. Almost 100% of the time Classic will hang or gray screen after hotsync, claiming an error when processing ActNames.prc.

Four of the apps on this list, Noah Pro, Thesaurus, T-Crisis, and Olive Tree BibleReader work just fine for me under Classic.

Redshift Dragonfire and Legacy don't seem to work in Classic. Didn't try safe mode though. Pssh caused Classic to crash and the Pre to freeze.

So far Tube2 loads OK, but falls over when I try to load a map ?

I may try a new version of the program or maps, just to check.

CallRec installs OK, but can not 'see' an mp3 on the 'card', plus it thinks the mute button is constantly in silent mode.

Will not attempt to do a voice recording either, so it's a No No, not unsurprisingly

Tried 2 SIP clients. I used to use Articulation form Hamptonsoftware over Bluetooth on my 680. It crashes in Classic with an illegal instruction right at the start. I quickly tried mobilvoip. It terminates with a message "UDP socket could not be created"
Would love a working SIP client now the Pre has WiFi. Anyone?

If you are talking about the Palm World Clock app, then it also has problem working out time zones. This is possibly something that Motion Apps need to sort out, as it's a fault with the way Classic talks to the Pre.

Also, Garmin MobileXT will not work.
I want not expecting it to get a GPS fix, but hoped I could use it for tracking down postcodes and generally viewing maps.
However it fails to install correctly, claiming the XTInstall file is missing, even thought I know it's present.

I tried this, too, alongside Tomtom Navigator 6. I couldn't get Mobile XT started. Maybe because it's locked to SD card it's preinstalled on.
Anyways, I think that wouldn't have helped much since Classic apps can't access neither Pre's GPS receiver, nor a Bluetooth GPS receiver from inside Classic.
I experienced this with Tomtom which I did get running. See my post here: http://forums.precentral.net/officia...-tomtom-4.html
