GPilotInstaller is a small Java application that acts as a frontend to the gpilot-install-file command line program to queue Palm application (.prc) and database (.pdb) files for installation. It presents the user with a list box, buttons to add files to and remove them from the list, and buttons to queue all added files for installation the next time a Palm handheld is synchronized with GNOME.

The GNOME Foundation announced today the creation of the GNOME Mobile & Embedded Initiative (GMAE), and a software platform for user experience development across a wide range of device profiles.
The GNOME Mobile & Embedded Initiative will advance the use, development and commercialization of GNOME components as a mobile and embedded user experience platform. It brings together industry leaders, expert consultants, key developers and the community and industry organizations they represent. The initiative aims to:
- Increase community and commercial visibility of GMAE technology
and participating organizations.
- Coordinate investment in the GTK+ and GNOME platform, documentation and developer tools.
- Increase development focus on the “mobile experience”, particularly the integration of GNOME desktop and GMAE technology.
- Facilitate healthy development collaboration between participating organizations, the GNOME community and related projects; and between GNOME platform, desktop and GMAE developers.
- Pursue standardization opportunities for the platform, and potentially at the user experience level.
- Ensure that Software Freedom is a reality beyond the desktop, and available in the hands of users around the world.
