Q: Do the applications bundled with Nomad have the same features as the
stand-alone versions available directly from the software manufacturers?
The short answer is "yes."
The long answer is: most Nomad Mobile Desktop applications are customized
portable versions of desktop applications offered by third-party software manu-
facturers. Generally speaking, it is safe to say that the portable versions are identi-
cal to the desktop versions, however we have no control over this. AcomData does
customize the software somewhat to ensure certain features are optimized for
portability. We also thoroughly test the software before releasing it to the public.
So, you can feel confident knowing that, for example, the OpenOffice.org applica-
tion included with Nomad has all of the features of the same release that you'd
get directly from Sun Microsystems.
Q: How do I upgrade Nomad Mobile Desktop applications?
Upgrades of individual third-party applications on the Nomad Mobile Desktop are
provided as part of periodic "global" updates to Nomad, available for download
at www.acomdata.com. When you update your Nomad Mobile Desktop the lat-
est available versions of each application will replace the current versions on the
Mobile Desktop.
Applications bundled with the Nomad Mobile Desktop are customized for Nomad.
You cannot upgrade these applications autonomously. For example, downloading
the latest version of Thunderbird from the Mozilla web site will not replace or
upgrade the version of Thunderbird on the Mobile Desktop.
