| Hardware |
| Targus
Stowaway Portable Keyboard by Think
Outside - folds up into something slightly larger than the visor
itself. Full sized keys. Another gift from Santa... errr... Boaz. |
| Matchbook
Drive - a Compact flash adapter. I use a 32
MB Sandisk CF card to expand my visor's memory. |
| Minstrel
S wireless modem by Novatel
- supposed to get me online, but Cellcom,
the wireless provider in Israel will not connect me since the modem has
not been approved by the Israeli Ministry of Communication, unlike the
similar Novatel Minstrel
V modem for the Palm V. Grrrr! |
|
Handspring
Power Accessory Kit - from
I.C.U. Accessories - recharges the visor deluxe's batteries while in the
visor. |
| |
| Software |
| |
| Readers: |
| CSpotRun
- freeware, open source doc reader from Bill
Clagett. I use the modified version from Kopsis and am able to read
directly from my CF card. |
| TomeRaider
from Scribble.
Reads proprietary TomeRaider books and regular Docs. Commercial - $20 |
| TealDoc
from TealPoint Software. Shareware,
$16.95 |
| Documents
To Go from Dataviz. Read and
edit MS word and Excel files on your palm. Commercial $49.95 |
| iSilo
from DC and Co. Shareware $12.50. I have my Plumb's
Veterinary Drug Handbook, (commercial, $50) in iSilo format. This
(Plumb) is the best palm-purchase I have ever made. iSilo works with iSilo
Web (freeware) which lets you download web pages to your palm. I like
it better than Avantgo
(freeware) which took up too much room. |
| Acrobat
Reader from Adobe - lets you read
pdf files. Freeware. |
| Games: |
| Bejeweled
from Astraware - highly addictive,
don't say I didn't warn you. Shareware - $9.95. This is the palm version
of DiamondMine
from Popcap games. |
| Bubblet
from oopdreams software. Shareware
- $12. |
| Puzzle apparently from Palm ?.
Remember those little plastic square games where you had to slide the bits
inside to get the numbers from 1-15 in order? Now you can do it on your
palm. I think it was freeware. |
| MineHunt |
| PalmJongg |
| SlitherLink |
| Lines
by Dmitri Kornilov.
Freeware. |
| Enhanced main apps: |
| DateBk4
from Pimlico. Shareware -
$24.95. A heavy (more than 400k) application, I probably don't use half of
the numerous options in it. Nice in that it integrates all the other main
apps, and lets you link between them. |
| Address+
by Paul Taylor. Shareware - $12. |
|
PhoneMate from Mobimate.
Shareware - $19.95. One hand phone lookup - I hear the newer palm operating
systems have something similar built in. Excellent program, dunno how I
lived without it before :). They have a hebrew-english version too (they're
an Israeli company). |
| ToDo
Plus from Hands High Software.
Shareware - $19.95. The main thing I like about this is the option of
setting alarms on a todo item. |
| Memo
Plus from Hands High Software.
Shareware - $19.95. Again, I love being able to set an alarm on a memo.
You can also attach drawings and stuff. |
| Miscellaneous: |
| Account Manager (now called MobileSafe
Account Manager) from Handmark.
Includes a desktop companion. This is where I keep all my passwords, pin
#s, logins, etc. |
| Album To Go
from Club Photo. Freeware. Carry
photos on your palm. Much better if you have a colour device (oh, for a
Prism...). |
| ATool!
by Martin Wilber. Freeware.
I use this mainly for tracking my battery usage. |
| BackupBuddy
from Blue Nomad - INDISPENSABLE -
brings your palm back to exactly the way it was before a crash /
hard reset. Without it, you just get the data back, but not all the 3rd
party software and preferences you had on. Many people buy this after
experiencing a hard reset. I think you should get it before :). Shareware
- $29.95 and worth every penny. |
| Birthdate
from Fahl Software. Shareware -
$19.95. Scours your address book for birthday info (which you first have
to input there as a custom field or a note) and gives you a list. Can also
do wedding anniversaries. The best part is the option of incorporating the
list in your datebook. |
| dbScan
from Pimlico. Freeware.
Checks and fixes datebook databases. |
| DayNotez
from Natara. I use this for my
journal. (Commercial, $14.95). There are seperate desktop and Outlook
versions ($24.95 each, price includes the palm application). |
| DB Explorer
by Katsuhiro Endo. Shareware -
$10. A long 'click' on a programs name gives you quick info about
it and access to delete/beam/categorize. Amazingly useful. |
| Dictionary
from Evolutionary Systems. |
| FAFileMover
from Kopsis
- this is the software needed to operate the compact
flash adapter. Is getting better and better. Right now they have a
beta which gives VFS support meaning you can read/launch programs FROM the
CF card, like the M50x series - I haven't d/led it yet, waiting for the
kinks and creaks to be sorted out. Commercial - $12 from palmgear,
$10 from Kopsis. |
| FemDays
from LinkeSOFT GmbH. For keeping track
of my menstrual cycle. Shareware - $19. |
| HanDBase
from DDH Software - excellent
database program, with desktop companion. I use this for my client
database, very useful on houscalls. Shareware, $30 with desktop companion,
$25 without. |
| HandWrite |
| Hebrew+
from Penticon - hebrew support for
Palm OS. Shareware - $65. |
| Handy
Shopper by Christopher Antos. Still trying to figure this one out. Freeware. Databases and stuff for the program can be found on the
program's mailing
list. |
|
JBBackup (formerly JackBack)
from Brayder Technologies Inc. Back
ups my visor onto the compact flash card. Commercial - $7.95 till Dec 31
2001. |
| JFile |
| Keyboard
from Think
Outside - the driver for my
Stowaway keyboard. The keyboard usually comes with an old version, the
newest version is on their site, at no extra charge. |
| Mirror+by
James Niemasik. Turns the visor into a mirror. Turns out there are quite a
few mirror programs out there. Freeware. |

by Rick Huebner.
Calculator + convertor. Shareware $11.95. |

developed software) - automatically tracks what software you have
installed, version, date, registration codes etc. Freeware. |
| URLs |
| Watch-Ya! |
| Word Comp |
| WordSmith
from Blue Nomad (makers of
BackupBuddy) - A good word processor, especially good if you have a
keyboard. Also a Doc reader. HOWEVER, does not work well with hebrew :(. |
| WPM |
| YAUC |
| Hacks |
| X-Master as hack manager. Freeware. |
|
Crash
from dseifert software production. This program resets for you
when needed instead of you having to click the 'reset' button that often
doesn't work and instead of using the reset pin. Since Datebk4 tends to
crash a lot on me, this program, together with the program that
automatically clicks 'reactivate previously active hacks' after a soft
reset, is a godsend. Also good for people who use a case that limits
access to the reset button. Freeware. |
| Global Find |
| HebKeys
by R. Perry - get hebrew on your PPK / Stowaway keyboard. Freeware. |
| Keyboard |
| MenuHack |
| MiddleCapsHack |
| PopUp Time |
| PrivateHack |

ahead). Shareware - $5. |

| Cases, Styli, etc. |
| Handspring
Visor Stylus Rainbow Pack - got these just for the blue pen to match
my visor. |
| PDA
Panache Custom Visor Stylus (Chrome) - Nice stylus, but I can't part
with my simple blue one so this one just stays at home. |
|
iStylus Duo from
Stylus Central - cheap ($5) yet
comfortable duo pen (pen/stylus combo). I got one in red and one in blue.
They ship to Israel. My graffiti improves when I use this. |
| The
Everwhere Styli - at
49 cents a piece, I got like 20 of these to keep around and give as
presents. From Stylus Central.
Nothing too fancy, just plain plastic. The blue and orange ones are
transparent so nicer than the white and green ones. |
| Blue
vulcanized rubber case from Incipio
Direct. Zips around, uses visor's lid to attach = no velcro. Osnat has
the
giraffe one and they come in other animal prints too. She has a IIIc
so got the Pocket
PC case. They ship to Israel. |
| Palm
III Leather Belt Clip Case - I don't use the belt clip, but like this
case a lot. The leather is soft and supple and the fit is good, especially
without the visor lid on, but even with it it fits. |
|
ThePouch case for stowaway
and visor together - made of neoprene and nylon, sort of bulky but does the
job. Will ship to Israel, great customer service. |
| Blue and clear flipcovers from Flipcover.com
- a cover like the one that came with the visor, only this one hinges on
the top and inserts into the module pocket. Which means you don't have to
find a place to put the lid when you're using the visor. Amazingly useful.
However, not compatible, at the moment, with oversized modules. (There's
an adapter for flush modules). I use this now instead of a case.Will ship to Israel
- free shipping worldwide! The hinges tend to break though - I would get a
couple at a time. |
| Blue, clear and purple flip clip and
flip lids from Tactilis.
Got these before I bought the flipcovers. These covers do not close
firmly, mostly because they are palm III covers. Tactilis have been
promising for ages to make special visor covers. Still waiting. On the
plus side- may be used with any sized module. |
| Truetip
finger styli - a thimble type thing that goes on your index finger,
turning it into a stylus. Surprisingly comfortable. Will ship to Israel. |
