I never LEARN. Giving Java another chance!

So it's that time again. Where I set myself up for a "why did I do this AGAIN" moment.

Java has been available for my past Treo 600 and 650 devices. On each device I had installed Java multiple times in hopes of some great new revelation I guess. Each time the only thing I realized was there were no apps I NEEDED Java for, it took up TOO MUCH space and frequently crashed my device. Of course later on there would be a release of a Java app that would make me do it all over again. I also found that the only way to completely get RID of Java's influences on my device was to do a Hard Reset.

Now I have a Treo 680 and a new version of Opera is out and a Gmail app (now mind you I use Xpress mail for my gmail and DON'T NEED a gmail app ... but why not. And Blazer on the 680 works fine for almost all of my purposes)

Well I was able to JUSTIFY installing Java again to try these new apps, because my 680 has 3 times the internal space, adn because I HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET on my 680.

The short of it is ... for a Tweaker I like having it. It opens up a different world of things to try and get working. Also I REALLY like the new version of Opera Mini for the Treo. It's a nice browser with nice features. The Gmail app does little for me, but I keep it on the device anyway for now. I have TRIED to get some Java Games (like SIMS 2 and others) that weren't necessarily made for the Treo680 to work ... and I was mostly unsuccessful.

For now unless something changes and the Java App seems to be negatively affecting my Treo I will keep it on the device and keep playing with it. I'll let you know if anything changes.
