crash-pro-for-palm-os Crash Pro for Palm OS at PalmGear.com: "Software is never as stable as you wish it to be. So even on small computers like your PalmOS-based PDA, you may encounter crashes. These are not in blue, but equally annoying message boxes with information like 'Fatal Exception', 'DataMgr.c, Line 123, Null handle' and so on. Depending on how many 3rd party software you install or how many beta versions and experimental software you use, you may see crashes quite a lot. Not only does a crash interrupt your work and potentially erases your last input, you may also encounter the following problems: * Often the on-screen reset-button does not work. This means that you need to unscrew your stylus for a reset pin or, with some devices, that you need to look for a reset pin in the form of a paperclip. Additionally, to use the reset pin, you will have to have access to the back of your device which may be quite a hassle if your PDA is in a case. * A crash can happen while you are away from the PDA. Like some software is doing house-keeping at 3am and crashes. Nobody will be there to reset the device or to turn it off and your battery will slowly drain until all of your data is gone. * You will be frustrated because of the crash. But here Crash Pro comes to help, solving all of the above problems. Unfortunately we can not prevent the crash, but we can make your life so much easier: * You do not need a reset pin or paper clip to reset your device, Crash Pro will do this work for you - automatically. No more battery draining if a crash happens while you are away. No more frantic searches for a reset pin. No more the need to remove your PDA from its case. * Crash Pro will display an image during the crash, making it look less frightening and hopefully will induce less stress. Here is an overview of the features in Crash Pro: * available in different languages, for example English, German, French, Italian, Russian, Brazil-Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Portuguese * displays an image when a crash is taking place * selectable image * auto-reset after a few seconds * countdown till auto-reset in lower-right corner * time till reset can be set by user * 'Crash Imager' (Windows(tm) application) to create your own images for Crash * crashes can be logged"

 

A reader writes to PalmAddict with his experience using the Tungsten T3 as a replacement for his laptop.

While a PDA does have some limitations, I have discovered that with the right accessories and software, a PDA can do can do almost everything a laptop can do.

AWright reviews Splash Money 4 at BargainPDA.com. The reviewer likes the ability to use Splash Money wirelessly to access and download banking information.

“One of the best reasons to own a PDA these days is that some models have wireless internet options. Being wireless is great for the occasional email, getting directions, or even sending a picture that you just took with your PDA's camera to a loved one. Another great reason to go wireless is wireless banking, and with the release of Splash Money 4, this is even easier than visiting your bank's website.”

 

ContactMirror for Outlook - Synchronize contact between Palm Desktop and Outlook

ContactMirror for Outlook is used to transfer contacts data between Palm desktop and Microsoft Outlook.

Sometimes we need to keep our contacts data up to date, especially we have more than one contact management applications used.

For example, we are using Palm device to store contacts in the Palm Address Book application. While we may be using Microsoft Outlook to be our desktop contact management program. And the Palm desktop address book is good indeed and we may also choose it. So how can we manage the data inside these applications, as well as some additional conduit applications?

ContactMirror provides an easy solution to keep the contacts in the Palm Desktop and Microsoft Outlook synchornized. And you can also transfer the special contact data between these two applications.

      Type: Freeware
      Min. Requirement: Palm Tungsten T Palm OS v5.0
      Download: switch5.zip
      Author: Mark Tamura

      Description:

      • Switch5 is a PalmOS 5 app which provides a simple way to switch between recently used applications.
      • Think of it as a PalmOS 5 version of SwitchHack (I''m not in any way affiliated with SwitchHack... other than being a registered user).

      Instructions:

      • A stroke from the Home/Applications circle to the Menu circle causes the last previously used application to be launched.
      • A stroke from the Menu circle to the Home/Applications circle causes a list of the most recently used applications (maximum of ten) to appear. You then have ten seconds to tap on the application you want launched.

      Notes:

      • Use at your own risk. It works for me on my Zire 71 but your mileage may vary :)
      • If a menu, popup list, or dialog box is active then the list of the most recently used applications will not appear.
      • The list of the most recently used applications is not backed up during HotSync and will be cleared by a reset.
      • Switch5 will need to be manually launched (one time only) if the app was copied from an expansion card.
      • Switch5 only works for PalmOS 5.
      • Switch5 does not support apps on external memory cards. Use TealAlias pr PowerRun to support apps on external memory cards.
      • Tungsten T3 is only supported in portrait mode.

      TriconnectTriConnect is a freeware terminal program for PalmOS. It allows it to communicate over Bluetooth, TCP/IP and Serial line. It can both establish outgoing and listen for incoming connections. The program uses the TriComm C++ library to provide these features.

      For wireless communications, the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile is used. It's a standard profile operating via an RFCOMM socket, which allows it to connect to a wide set of devices, such as Bluetooth USB and RS232-to-Bluetooth dongles (Belkin, Psion, TDK, Billionton, BlueTake, etc), computers, mobile phones and PDAs (like other Palms, iPAQs, PocketPCs and so on). Nowdays support for SPP is a must-have feature for terminal applications, designed for different flavours of modern equipment. TriConnect can also scan the neighbourhood and show a list of Bluetooth devices found nearby, including their names and types.

      TCP/IP utilizes the Palm's internal TCP stack to establish connections to remote hosts located anywhere in the Internet. If the Internet interface is not up, it's brought up automatically before operations begin. Palms can easily use IR, Wi-fi, Bluetooth or direct connection to the PC in order to sign up on the network. Not only direct communications are supported by the program: it is also possible to specify a SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or HTTP (method CONNECT) proxy to be used. Using TriComm, the program connects and accepts incoming TCP/IP connections on any port just with a few lines of code. The library does the rest, including the interface part, such as the nice "Waiting for connection" and "Connecting to" dialogs.

      Using a special Serial cable, your Palm can communicate with other devices using the old good COM port technology. This way you can control many pieces of equipment, which provide this kind of interface. Modems, sensors and telemetry devices are just a cable away!

       

      Time@handTime@Hand is a time and billing application that keeps track of the time you spend working on different projects. This is an easy-to-use program with minimal data entry required.

      Here are some of the reviews of the new Tungsten E2 that have been published on-line.

       

      Follow-on to World's Most Popular Handheld Surpasses its Predecessor TORONTO, April 13, 2005 -- Building on the popularity of the Tungsten™ E handheld, which has sold nearly 2 million units worldwide, palmOne, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLMO) today announced the Tungsten E2 handheld. With the additions of a brighter colour screen, flash memory, Bluetooth® wireless technology and a more powerful battery, the Tungsten E2 provides upscale, premium features at a budget-conscious price -- $299 (estimated Canadian street price). "This sleek, stylish device is the perfect handheld to take into the boardroom or the classroom," said Michael Moskowitz, president and general manager, palmOne Canada. "With the versatile Tungsten E2, customers get more of what they want -- Bluetooth, and a brighter, richer colour screen that brings calendar, contacts, documents, photos and videos to life. Plus, flash memory to keep important information safe, even when you forget to charge the device." The Tungsten E has proven enormously popular with budget-conscious professionals and consumers alike, helping it achieve a remarkable 17 months of sales-leading statistics, according to The NPD Group. Introduced in October 2003, the Tungsten E represented a new way of thinking about an enterprise-class handheld. Whether for home or in the office, individuals no longer had to sacrifice price for performance or professional features for multimedia. Instead, palmOne designed Tungsten E from the ground up to include cutting-edge features for work and play at an affordable price. Tungsten E2 Handheld Expanded Features/Benefits:View the world on a brighter, richer colour display The Tungsten E2 handheld has a new, brighter 320x320 colour display, making it easy for professionals and consumers to see their schedules, contacts, and work documents -- indoors and out. Better colour saturation brings photos and video clips to life in rich, dazzling colour. • Relax with non-volatile, flash memory 32MB of non-volatile flash memory with 26MB actual storage capacity gives Tungsten E2 handheld users more than enough room to hold their calendars, contacts, applications, photos, spreadsheets and presentations. The Tungsten E2 battery provides longer battery life than the original Tungsten E. And because it's flash memory, the information on the handheld is protected -- even if the battery happens to run out. • Connect with Bluetooth enabled wireless devices With the Tungsten E2's built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, users can synchronize the device with their desktops wirelessly.1 They can even use their Tungsten E2 handheld with a compatible Bluetooth phone to send and receive email, or to check news headlines on the web.2Carry MP3 files, digital photos, and video clips in pocket or purse The Tungsten E2 becomes a portable MP33 player. Users simply plug in an expansion card loaded with their favourite MP3s and use the built-in speaker or stereo headphones.5 Photos or video clips of friends and family can be carried across town or around the globe by inserting an SD Card from a digital camera to show off photos on the Tungsten E2's stunning colour display.4Productivity on the road The Tungsten E2 comes with DataViz's Documents To Go® software, which lets mobile professionals carry important Word, Excel and PowerPoint files so they can be more productive wherever they are. And with a simple conversion step, Acrobat PDF files can be viewed. • Powerful performance and expansion options The Tungsten E2 handheld comes with a powerful 200MHz Intel XScale processor and 32MB of RAM (26MB user available), providing the room and speed for complex documents or applications. Users can connect their device to palmOne's Wireless Keyboard5 to make working on business documents easier. The built-in expansion card slot accepts MultiMediaCard, SD and SDIO formats, for eBooks, games, language translator and more.5 Pricing and Availability palmOne's Tungsten E2 handheld has an estimated Canadian street price of $299 and will be available on April 13 from the palmOne online store (http://canadastore.palmOne.com) and select retail stores worldwide.

      With millions of restaurants, bars, stores, museums, and movie theaters in Vindigo, keeping track of the changes is no easy task.

      VindigoBut our content team is on top of it. They scour magazines, websites, receive daily updates from partners, and most importantly - they receive updates from our users.

      Every time you submit a new listing, or mark an old listing as closed, our team receives that notice. They verify the status of the listing and update it in our database.

      Want to try it yourself? Take The Content Challenge:

      1. Submit a new listing (that we DON'T already have in our database) to us by April 31st.
      2. If your listing is accurate, we'll update it and have it syncable in two weeks.
      3. If we don't get the listing syncable by May 15th, we'll give you a free week of Vindigo!
      If you think you've won and we haven't contacted you by May 18th, then contact our support team, tell them the day you submitted your listing, your vindigo username, the listing name, what kind of listing it is (bar, restaurant, etc). They'll double-check and if you're right* they'll give you a free week.

      *This is a challenge but it's a fun one. No whining allowed. All disputes will be settled by Vinny who is very fair, but doesn't take any guff.

       

      Electric Pocket announces a first-of-its-kind feature for any portable MP3 player: the ability, with the tap of a single button, to automatically connect to the Internet to find and download Album Art for MP3 tunes.

      BuskeraniWye Valley UK (PRWEB via MobilityNewswire) March 31, 2005 -– Electric Pocket announces a first-of-its-kind feature for any portable MP3 player: the ability, with the tap of a single button, to automatically connect to the Internet to find and download Album Art for MP3 tunes. The Album Art will be displayed anytime its corresponding tracks are played on the device. This new feature is included in the latest version of Electric Pocket’s Busker MP3 player for Palm OS® PDAs and smartphones, such as the popular Treo 650 from palmOne.

      "The Art Finder in Electric Pocket’s Busker MP3 player is an excellent example of the technologies we like to showcase," said Larry Berkin, director of developer marketing, for PalmSource. "This is an application that demonstrates how seamless use of wireless connectivity can add a new dimension to an everyday experience like listening to music.”

      Busker, which has been much praised for its bright and breezy user interface and simple approach to music selection and playback, has been updated with seamless integration to Amazon.com’s extensive product catalogue. Users can update their Album Art collections simply by clicking on one button in Busker, instantly activating the process of connecting to Amazon.com’s Web Services platform and wirelessly downloading Album Art images that correspond to the tracks stored on the user's SD card.

      "Busker approaches mobile music on the Palm Powered™ platform in a fresh way – we love making things as easy to use as they possibly can be," said Iain Barclay, Electric Pocket’s Chief Product Officer. "The Art Finder is a great example of Electric Pocket’s approach to adding simple, yet highly compelling features to wireless applications."
