Looks good overall. Some beta bugs, though.

Re: FitalyVirtual beta - Fitaly + Launcher -- Jean Ichbiah

I just downloaded beta 2 and tried it. Some comments:

1) The new launcher buttons at the bottom of the screen are very nice. I was pleased that you were able to make the icons from the actual applications actually look good in such a small space. Setup is reasonably intuitive. I was a bit skeptical about this feature, but I am impressed at how nice you've been able to make it look.

2) I am still seeing the bug where switching to the Sony keyboard and trying to use it causes both the Sony Keyboard and the Fitaly keyboard respond to taps, resulting in double keystrokes for each letter hit.

3) (I noticed this in the first beta, but didn't have a chance to alert you before the second beta arrived). When I use "custom left slides" from the new Fitaly, my Palm crashes, and I must do a soft reset to recover. The message that is displayed is "Fatal Alert custom.c, Line: 138, Could not create custom database." This occurs even if I do a soft reset and then load only the Fitaly Virtual beta 2 (and no other hacks).

4) When I invoke FVSetup from the application launcher (not from Fitaly itself), it oftentimes overwrites my first app launcher button with an apparently randomly chosen application, forgetting what I had previously set as the target fo my first app launcher button. I then have to set it back to the correct value prior to exiting.
