all the information can be found on this forum, and i'm sure the viewers will come out soon, but in the meantime, here's a workaround...  might not be the most efficient, but it works.

1)  you need a gmail account

2)  gmail has an application that can be used on the instinct that you need to download:

http://www.gmail.com/app/gmail.jad?make=Generic&model=Advanced%20MIDP2&ver=v1.5.0

3)  e-mail the pdf file or xls file to your gmail account

4)  open from this gmail application (which would be found in your games/application) and voila, you can view your files...  (albeit, formatting needs work, but at least you can view...)

edit:  mods, feel free to move, wasn't sure if this would fall under how to...  or tips and tricks...  or general.  Smiley

Thank you for getting this information. I've been looking all over for a working Gmail App for the Instinct and hadn't been able to find one. Cookie for ya bro.

Plus I will move this in the appropriate thread.

I downloaded the file and installed. Now it does not show up in games/apps or anywhere else.

Anyone else have this issue?
