(Last edited Aug 16, 2006)
Here’s a auto on program that works in a slightly different way than others. I originally mentioned AutoOffExtender in my Essential app #16 posting on Always On and similar apps that override the auto off feature of Palms. At the time, AutoOffExtender didn’t have much of an interface or show [...]

How to series: Display the lifetimer on your Treo
0 Comments Published July 28th, 2006 in howto, palm, quicktipsPalm Discovery
Since the Treo 650 is very much a cell phone as well as a PDA, you would think that the ability to find and display the lifetimer on the Treo should be available. And, yes, you are able to find the lifetimer on the Treo.
What is a lifetimer? Well, as the name implies, it’s [...]

Essential App #24: No Alarms: Suppress Alarms From Ringing
0 Comments Published July 24th, 2006 in essentialapp, palm, reviews, software-reviewPalm Discovery
Here’s a program that I feel should be an “essential” application to be included in my list of essential apps mainly because I have found it quite important to be able to have, regardless of the Palm device. Of course, you can always turn off sounds and alarms manually just before a meeting, but [...]
QuickPhone A Quick Way To Enter Phone Numbers In Your Palm
0 Comments Published July 18th, 2006 in palm, reviews, software-reviewPalm Discovery
If you’re like me, it always seems to be quite a scramble and frustrating when you’re pressed for time (usually at the end of a meeting or whatever) and you need to get someone’s phone number before they left.
Now, if they owned a Palm device, that could easily be done by having them “beam” [...]
