The Prefs applicaton is the main application where you can change various settings in the Palm device and customize it in the way you prefer. You can change the color of the background and menus, etc. Again, the best way to show what I’m talking about is to show [...]

The World Clock application is simply a clock application that offers and displays three clock times of various cities with the default city time of your Palm accounting for one of them.

The To Do program is another Palm program that many users may find indispensible. Originally, I also thought that too, since I needed to be able to organize a lot of tasks and reminders but eventually found that I needed something more.
