Given that I've got a TX in my lap that has FitalyVirtual installed and seemingly working, obviously I've solved the problem. :-) The problem was simply one of displaying the Fitaly keyboard. The old FitalyVirtual works just fine on the TX (I haven't done any stability testing, though), it's just that it couldn't display the Fitaly keyboard. FitalySkinLoad overcomes this difficulty (just as my SkinTW overcame a similar difficulty on the Tapwave Zodiac). That's all.

None of this is supported officially either by me or by Jean. Nonetheless, it is something we're releasing together in order that users who got used to Fitaly on earlier devices should have it on the TX. Use at your own risk. I did this both for free advertising and because I had written some skin loading code under commission from Jean but he never got around to implementing it because they discontinued FitalyVirtual on the Palm, and so I had the code sitting around, and good code shouldn't be wasted. :-)
