Freeware: Patience Revisited 5.0
Patience is a solitaire game for Palm OS devices. It supports Palm OS 5 all the way back to Palm OS 2.0! It has been upgraded to support useful features of the more recent devices: colour, high resolution mode, and larger screens. It comes with a wide variety of one- and two-deck games, including FreeCell, Klondike, Canfield, Spider, Montana, and many more (see below for the full list).
All of the games have the same controls; most of the time tapping on a card will move it a useful manner. When that doesn’t do what you want, you can always drag a card where you want it to go. Helpful Hints and 1024-level undo are always available.

Visual features include:
- Supports Palm OS 5 devices, including Palm Zire, Tungsten and Treo models as well as Sony Clie. Also supports older devices, back to Palm OS 2.0!
- Supports high resolution and HandEra 330 QVGA mode, including devices that can hide the graffiti area.
- The top card is drawn with a larger, centred suit bitmap (preference).
- Greyscale and colour allow for prettier suits. B&W mode can be forced with a preference.
- If necessary, the “10” rank is drawn narrower, to avoid exceeding the card boundary or overlapping the suit graphic.
- Builds are highlighted, by compacting them vertically, and (on OS 3.5 and up) shading them grey.
- The background is drawn in a solid green colour (the pattern can be restored with a preference).
- The cards are drawn with a border in all games (Montana and Spider, for example), and with rounder corners.
- New colour and monochrome icons, including a small/list icon.
