Installed to the memory card with no problems. Used IsiloX to convert a couple of files to isilo format and copied them to the Documents directory on the memory card.

1. First test:

Opened iSilo, the new files are nowhere to be found, only a couple of files appeared (examples).

Tried using the built-in File Manager and could not even see files on the C:\Documents. After using Y-Browser (freeware file manager), I can see the iSilo subdirectory and the files in there. What they are doing on the memory as I asked installing on the card?????

Using the PC Suite desktop connection, the C:\Documents is also blank??? Had to use Y-Browser to move my files to the iSilo sub-dir.

Why it is not able to find or allow us to specify where we have files????

2. Second test:

Entered iSilo again and opened one of the files. The first page has links to other topics. Up & Down seem to paginate. Left & Right started navigating thru the links on the page.

I have more links than what fits in one page. After it started navigating thru the links, both Up & Down and Left & Right do the same, go one link back or forward IN THE CURRENT PAGE. Took me almost 30 minutes to figure the backspace would get me back. You have to have on the two keys, instead of Menu and Close, Menu and Back.

First impression conclusion:

1. Not being able to access files on the miniSD card is a huge mistake
2. Files can be everywhere, we should be allowed to browse and search what we want to open
3. This works but the interface is very similar to the old Services browser. You have to have a look on the newer Web browser (on every S60v3 device), much better, uses a mouse pointer like interface.

Tested on Nokia E60.

First impression: nice to see Isilo again on my mobile device.;)

2nd impression:
-I miss shortcuts for find, find next etc
-slow scrolling

Nice to see the Symbian platform supported. I am finally able to use my Nokia E62 as my main device now and ditch my smartphone. (Tiny screen!)

Any work arounds to the file issue yet?
I have many iSilo formatted publications on my card but cannot see them and do not know how to point the program to recognize the card. In the meantime I am moving the files to the iSilo directory in memory via a third-party app as suggested by the first poster. It works well, though I do have several files that are too big for my main memory that I miss out on using that method.

Thanks again to the development team.
Keep up the good work.
:)
