Hi,

As above, has anyone thought about or know of anyone writing a browser application for the TSU series?

Perhaps someone with a higher level of programming knowledge can comment on whether it is even possible?

I used the browser on my iPronto quite regularly, which I believe is 'essentially' very similar hardware/software, but I am prepared to be shot down in flames ;)

Cheers, Lee

Lee,
I think it might be possible, but the main problem is, that you cannot create images or textfields dynamically. That will - with this firmware - always be the limitation.
One could program some blank templates, that would contain dozens of empty textfields and images and assign the content to dynamically.
But I guess, once tables are involved (I also use them quite frequently for various layout reasons), it will get tricky.
The pure "decoding" part is actually not so hard, just the final presentation of that poses quite a problem :-(

Lee,

Don't even think about it. On top of what Andre states, you cannot change text color or font size via ProntoScript nor could you have things like a Flash plugin which is very prevalent on MANY websites.

Hello!
I just want to buy a 9800... and now i read, that there is no browser option? This is a little dissappointing. I use this function on my ipronto to check my LAN observation cams.

This makes me worry, if it would be a step forward, changing from the "old" ipronto to the new 9800....

Well, worry on. No browser. However, Philips does have a module available for sure for Panasonic cameras.
