Not a problem for me. I have never, ever, found an application on any
platform I've used written in Java that worked well or behaved right.
They've all been incredibly slow, over-large for their functions,
clunky to use, and didn't interact with their host environment well, if
at all.

What's it needed for? With no Flash, that also means none of those
annoying ads in Safari.

I stopped using categories in my Palm launcher a year ago. There are
no categories for shortcuts on my desktop, either.

I haven't tried since I don't know of any hidden networks, but have you
tried using the "Other" entry? It's there specifically so you can
manually join a network that isn't listed. If someone is not
broadcasting the SSID, they're doing it for a reason.

Please explain what a '"serious' app' is.

I assume you're referring to an IMAP account. Why are you trying to
use the iPhone as your primary email client? Why don't you already
have your folders configured?

Or collections from Photoshop Elements or iPhoto.
