The article mentions upgrades for people who bought the software from palmgear, handango, or have the SprintPCS module.

What about us VisorPhone users?

In case anyone is interested, while Blazer 2.0 claims to need a minimum of OS 3.5 to function, I have used it for about an hour this evening on my VDx (OS 3.1)! I tried several sites (including VC) and didn't have any trouble at all.

I've been using the beta version on my VDx for a month now and no problems.

Handango problems

so far the upgrade download on Handango is an .EXE Windows file only, leaving us Mac users in the dust. hopefully, they'll fix this oversight soon... (or they'll never see any of my money ever again...)

SSL Support ?

I downloaded Blazer 2.0 upgrade. I'm unable to access the e-trade home page with it even though it has 128 bit ssl and cookie support. Also am unable to access hotmail with the application. Other than that it seems to work OK. The new bookmark format is great.
