A BIG THANKS again to Sammy of Palm Addicts for the front page mention!

Please Note: Pref Doctor has since been renamed to Reset Doctor. This posting was originally written as when the program was named PrefDoctor. I have updated the links and made the name changes in the review but kept the title the same. Please keep that in mind.

I am now starting a new Essential app series, but more specifically for the Treo 650 (although some may work for the 600 and 700p). Although many of the programs I’ve discussed in the essential app series may work fine on the Treo, I feel that I should discuss programs [...]
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 [...]

Most people who buy the Palm or other PDA devices know that they are capable of storing a lot of data and information like appointments, addresses, in it. But what a lot of them are not aware of, is that the Palm can also retrieve and store the emails you [...]

Wow. Time sure flies when you’re having fun. It didn’t seem so long when I was getting ready for my 2 week vacation, visiting Tokyo, Japan and Hong Kong, China. My main objective, aside from visiting families and friends and doing some sightseeing was to get a cheaply [...]
Essential app # 22: Today or other similar app that displays everything for today

This posting has taken me a while to create because I had to create the Flash simulations for each of the programs to provide a good comparison of each of the applications. And, some of them, I had to re-do because I had to re-size them so that the free [...]
Essential App # 21: SlideFree Access Your Icons Without Opening The Slider
0 Comments Published February 15th, 2006 in essentialapp, palm, reviews, software-review(Last edited March 4, 2008)
If you own a Palm device that has a slider mechanism that requires you to slide out the Silkscreen/Graffiti area whenever you require to input the Silkscreen area, you’ll likely appreciate a program like Slide Free.
Why use an application like SlideFree?
Originally, it may seem, that having the slider mechanism is nice [...]

I’m quite sure that many Palm users are aware that there is a setting in the Prefs application that you can set the Palm to remain turned on when charging in the cradle. But just in case some people are not aware of it, I am going to direct those [...]
Essential App # 19: Energy Dimmer Or Other Backlight Customization Apps

If you’re like me, when you first got your Palm, you realize how “bright” the screen is, even when you’re outside. Yes, at first, it seems great, until you realize that having it at the default brightness setting drains the battery pretty quickly. Even if you have tapped on [...]

In case you haven’t noticed, there have been some changes in the blog since my last posting. I have now added some affiliate links on the site as I am discovering and frustrated with Blogger occasionally being offline due to “scheduled maintenance” which means I can not access the [...]

In a related theme to the previous posting about power, I will be discussing workarounds or apps that can turn off the Palm. This may seem confusing to many Palm users, especially new users who are not aware or have not yet experienced problems with their Power button. It [...]

If you’ve ever experienced the Palm turning it off after its default time (between 2 - 3 minutes depending on the device) while you’re listening or doing something on your Palm (ie. listening to mp3 player, watching movies, reading an ebook, etc), you can understand how frustrating it can be to [...]

If you’re like me, you want access to all the programs that you’ve installed on the Palm in a single place, or at least, with minimal effort. To somewhat help you have a quick access to your favorite or recently accessed or launched programs, there’s a program that can make [...]
