8O I just realized it's been over three months since I last purchased software for a mobile device. That's a new record for me, by a factor of at least two!

Anyway, I have Fitaly 3 installed, but only because I have a WM2003 device and it complains when you try to install Fitaly 3.5 on it. Would I still be eligible for the free upgrade? I won it after v3.5 was released.

And I see no actual mention of WM2003 on the Fitaly site - does v4 even work with WM2003?

The download is apparently both the trial and the full software. And it does mention that it's for WM2003SE and WM5 - though the manual appears to have found a new WM version: Fitaly 4, shown on the left, is the latest version of Fitaly for WM5 and Windows SE 2300.!

Okay, I checked the page in IE Mobile and the download link definitely appears. You're not using any sort of IE plug-ins, are you?

I doubt it, but if I were you, I'd send Jean a PM just to make sure.

I tested it in WM2003 and it works perfectly. Download the WM2003SE version and install it, then if Fitaly appears oversized (VGA version) on your screen, go to the Visual tab in the Fitaly options and change the keyboard size to Small. It should then switch to the QVGA version.

Right. Entering a valid registration code will take away the time limitation (thus, turning it into the full version).

I was more worried about Windows Mobile 5000 on the download screen. And more importantly, whether there would be a real close (X) button in it. 8)

Hey, PJE:

Ummm, is anyone else getting this? I went to go purchase an upgrade and even though the online form says $15, when you enter a one in the unit field, the total amount comes up $20.

I checked the other options and their auto-prices match the stated prices. It's only the upgrade that seems to have the hidden $5 surcharge.

What's up with that? "Download protection" fever starting to spread???

I'm gonna try typing in $15 in that spot and see if the server will accept it.

----------------------------------------------

Well, I can't tell if it was processed or not. Just have to wait for the email I guess.

A couple of worrying things about buying through the site though:
The response screen promised me that my order would be mailed to me as quickly as possible using the method I selected. This is odd as I (a) am only ordering a reg code so don't really need anything mailed to me and so (b) was never given the option of selecting a preferred delivery method.

Also, you might want to take a look at this. After placing the order I noticed the padlock icon on the page was in the 'open' position. Clicking on it brought up this message:

Opera has classified the connection to the server fitaly.securesites.com as insecure.

The server fitaly.securesites.com has identified itself with an electronic certificate. The certificate is signed and verified by an issuer that is on this browser's list of trusted authorities.

I know I'll sleep well tonight.

As Ed says, I'm sure it will be worth it. Fitaly is a phenomenal app for PocketPCs. I had been quite frustrated trying to use v3.5 on my K-JAM - the small stability problems were annoying just because I have become so dependent on the great features in Fitaly. This new version seems even better.

Uninstall of Fitaly 3.5 on a WM5 K-JAM did not proceed fully, as you suggested Ed. However, I simply removed all files as you suggested but did not touch the Registry entries (did not have a Reg Editor with me at the time). The Fitaly 4 install proceeded without a hitch and seems to be running fine. Furthermore, my previous customisations were preserved and I did not have to re-register Fitaly4 - the old licence key was recognised automaticallly. Great.

I have now played with it quite extensively. Seems to be faster and more cleanly responsive on the K-JAM than v3.5 was. No lockups. And I love the new extended macros and more powerful sliding options. This is a brilliant upgrade for experienced Fitaly users. Highly recommended.

Could be an issue with Opera. IE6.01 shows it locked and that the cert isn't for fitaly.securesites.com but for *.securesites.com and is valid for another 18 months or so.

It also could be the final acknowledgement page, which should have no secure info on it, isn't set up correctly on the server, but shouldn't cause a problem with data being stolen.

I'm running the demo on a WM2003 device, and the + (add expansion) button does not bring up the corresponding window that Fitaly 3 did. Is this a "feature" across all devices, or due to the fact that I'm running it on a non-supported OS?

It works fine with WM2003 - V4 replaces the word completion lists with custom slides! Check this - http://fitaly.com/winmobile/fitaly4%...m#customslides
