javascript on Sony ereader

jpuntd · 11-12-2010, 08:32 AM

I'm considering buying a Sony Reader. Besides reading books on it, I would like to use it to run small homemade applications written in javascript.

From reading the forums, I understand there is a hack which allows javascript files to run on a PRS-505. Is this also possible on the PRS-650?
Is it possible to somehow open an html-file with embedded javascript on the PRS-650?

Would I be better of waiting for the PRS-950 (which has a browser that supports javascript)?

On 505 it's javascript language, but it has little to do with what you have in browsers and there is also no html renderer.

Have a look at the test environment by Mark Nord for homebrew scripts for Sony readers.
