Technician. Easy conference is just that, Very easy. Great app with many neat features but the Easy conference makes three way calling effortless.  RE: Favorite App and WhyColormeweb @ 11/13/2006 10:25:47 PM #
My Favorite and most used app would have to be the ebook reader PalmFiction. Convert your favorite font and this is hands down the best reader for the Palm OS. RE: Favorite App and Whyjimmythemoose @ 11/13/2006 10:32:39 PM #
Avantgo - great for the subway to and from work. I do a wireless sync on the way to the subway, and then have fresh content for my ride. RE: Favorite App and Why
There are so many useful apps on my palm, but my favorite is Handmark's Solitaire. It's great for eating up time. The wife can shop happily once I find a comfortable seat and start a game (or a thousand games). RE: Favorite App and Why
My favorite app. has to be Checkbook made by Ultrasoft. It is simple to use and set up. Balancing my checkbook has never been easier. RE: Favorite App and Whycocker_ivy @ 11/13/2006 11:29:09 PM #
TCPMP!!! For listening to music and watching videos. RE: Favorite App and Why
Calendar. With over ten years of input I'm the "go to guy" for historical information at work and around the family. Plus, it is common knowledge by those that know me, I'm on-time and know what's going on when I get there. Not always the case years ago. RE: Favorite App and Why
TCPMP for its excellent multimedia capabilities. Mring for Treo for its individual contacts ringtones. RE: Favorite App and Why
TCPMP - makes my T|X more than just a portable calendar ;). ---------- Senior Editor, Webmaster, and host of podcast at www.palmforums.org RE: Favorite App and Why
Worldmate, because I use the convertion table, the money exchange, the weather, very usefull aplication RE: Favorite App and Whyanarchangel @ 11/14/2006 9:29:04 AM #
My favorite Palm app is Splash ID. With all the various website passwords I've got to keep track of, it's nice to have them all safely locked up in one place where I can access them by remembering only one master PW. I also like the auto-generate password feature as well as the desktop one-click copy buttons. Palm IIIe LE, IIIxe, T|T, T|E RE: Favorite App and Whyidiopathic @ 11/14/2006 9:38:42 AM #
Stock Manager: because I can check my stocks during boring meetings. RE: Favorite App and Why
DateBk5. Handspring was on to something when they decided to include DateBk3 as the default Calendar application on the Visor. DateBk5 offers so many useful features that should have been included in the standard PalmOS 5.4 Calendar app! RE: Favorite App and Why
My favorite palm application is PocketQuicken. It lets me keep track of my finances while I am away from my computer. Seemless (almost ;)) syncing with desktop Quicken, and I don't run out of money. RE: Favorite App and Why
Avantgo: I have used it nearly every day for the last 5+ years, with a succession of 3 different PDAs. It works very well with my usage habits: I synch at the end of the work day and have a collection of fresh content for reading that evening on the commute or at home. RE: Favorite App and Why
Splash ID. I travel a lot and it's a handy way to keep all the frequent flier hotel points etc... RE: Favorite App and Why
I'd say Agendus Pro. It's got many great views of all my most important information. All the same data as the stock PIM apps, but much better displays. RE: Favorite App and Why
TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player) this program has given me hours of entertainment on what would otherwise have been an extremely boring flight. Thanks to the developers for such a great program. Palm TT3 + TCPMP + The Return of the King = Hours of excitement RE: Favorite App and Why
Plucker is my favorite app. I have a bunch of daily-updated feeds that I read, several news sources, several reference books, and even some novels in the reader. I always have something to read, and most of the time I have something new to read. -alan RE: Favorite App and WhyPalmFanatic @ 11/14/2006 8:35:17 PM #
My most heavily used and favorite program is SplashID by SplashData. It is invaluable for keeping all my web logins handy, in addition to credit card numbers, frequent flyer numbers, etc. Well, that and the built-in Date Book application by Palm. RE: Favorite App and WhySatoribomb @ 11/15/2006 12:53:48 AM #
My favorite app on PalmOS is EReader - after 8 years of owning one PalmOS device or another, I spend more time reading ebooks than doing anything else. The freedom and ability to pack an entire library of reading in my pocket still blows my mind. Not having to turn pages and the ability to bookmark on the fly is pretty cool too. Guess I'm just a digital bookworm after all... RE: Favorite App and Why
My favourite app on the Treo 650 is TMP, the best looking calendar app for Palm. It is easy to navigate one-handed and is extremely configurable. Even better now with the category and colour support! RE: Favorite App and Why
My favorite is METRO. This is a Metro route finder with a great interface, includes points of interest, and does this for like a 100 cities. RE: Favorite App and Why
My favorite app is SplashMoney by SplashData. It's great to have all of my financial data with me at all times so I can make sound financial decisions. RE: Favorite App and Why
It is hard to pick 1. Like your kids you can't pick a favorite. But for productivity the best IMHO is HanDBase. They have continued to support the product and platform with newer versions from the start. Dave Haupert, keep up the good work. RE: Favorite App and Why
my new favorite app is gmail.prc i have all my email forwarded to gmail and with a push of a button i can pull in all my email - just like on a blackberry only this is better i get a real computing device that i can do stuff like html coding (torpedo) star gaze (planetarium) plan my drinking (wine guide from landware.com) or plan my tv watching for the nite (tv2nite from g-funkster @treocentral) RE: Favorite App and Why
My favorite is PocketQuicken - totally accurate, and effortlessly syncs to Quicken. RE: Favorite App and Why
My favorite is Lexi-Drugs. Best drug information reference for medical professionals. Makes rounds/drug info retrieval more efficient and contains most validated drug information relevant to pharmacists. RE: Favorite App and Why
Probably the most useful, if not the most often used, has to be Directory Assistance, a free replacement for 411, Mapquest, and a whole lot more. It is a no-fail yellow/white page directory for anyone or any business anywhere. RE: Favorite App and Why
ZLauncher - I use it everyday and sometimes take it for granted. I could not imagine going back to the straight-out-of-the-box-launcher. I can configure so much within ZLauncher and let my creativity fly. BTW, this site flies now! Saw-wheat! pen-on-palm-of-hand.pen-on-paper.Casio-Databank-Watch.Casio-Cassiopeia.Palm-M130.??? RE: Favorite App and Why
For me, I probably use Avant Go the most. Never have to buy a newspaper. I can customize channels so I have a my own TV guide, weather report for various cities, and keep up with Palm Infocenter!!! I can use it in conjunction with Google News and track news on specific topics. I can follow tech news and follow Sci-Fi channel. And all this for free! RE: Favorite App and Why
DateBk6 is the application I use every day. I have used it on all my Palm handhelds. RE: Favorite App and Why
It has to be Google Maps, live up to date traffic reports are a major time saver. RE: Favorite App and Whywjonesolson @ 11/16/2006 8:13:56 PM #
TipCalculator! Why? ...because I can't do basic math in spite of being an uppity feminist... RE: Favorite App and Why
My favorite is Today by Jonas Lindstedt - A freeware app that replicates the Today screen. It is nicely done, and gives my Kyocera 7135 a spiffy, updated look. Software like this is what makes me a fan of the Palm OS. RE: Favorite App and Why
My most favorite is the calender built into the Palm OS. I have tried others, but this is the best. RE: Favorite App and Why
ChatterEmail - an amazing application that actually makes a Palm multitask. RE: Favorite App and Whyjreagles16 @ 11/20/2006 2:53:03 AM #
Blue pill by dimtry it is my favorite it is a stand alone sms kill switch and can reformat your device and sd card. So if my device is stolen I know it will be secure also there are a lot of great features that come with it. You have the opition to have it do more than just kill you device. It is great. Love it. A must have for any treo owner! The Building of the biggest Software Site Ever! RE: Favorite App and Why
My favourite program is Card Reader because with that I can use my 4gb sd card in my TX as a removable drive on every computer. RE: Favorite App and Why
My favorite is google maps. Because I can't drive to any new place without getting lost. RE: Favorite App and Why
Agendus Premier 11.03. It keeps me on track of everyday events and emails. Can't live without it. RE: Favorite App and Whybudrowilson @ 11/21/2006 1:14:32 PM #
Launcher X In my opinion, the best looking and most functional Palm OS replacement application launcher. With tabbed browsing, the gadget bar, and file management built in, it's one application I will never do without. RE: Favorite App and Why
My favorite GAME app would have to be Aggression, the Risk clone. Old school world domination on my Treo 650. RE: Favorite App and Why
My favorite has to be Audible Player to listen to audio books. It makes my commute and travel much more bearable. RE: Favorite App and Why
Chatteremail. Excellent background syncing and truly allows your Treo the flexibility of push or pull email. This is the app I use most often on my Treo and is a good example of how the Palm OS can give users flexibility and customization vs. apps available on the Blackberry and other devices. RE: Favorite App and Why
LauncherX, because it dresses up and organizes my Treo in a much better way than the default's of Palm OS. RE: Favorite App and Why
This probably shouldn't be my favorite app since the 700p should be a productivity device, but I can't get enough of Astraware's Sudoko. It's a great way to kill a few minutes here and there and I love the puzzle of the day feature. Note Studio is a great program too, but I use the desktop component much more than the Palm one. RE: Favorite App and Whydakodasara @ 11/21/2006 2:34:27 PM #
I think it is called VTimeCalc. I deal vith video time all day, so this is great. It allows me to calculate time for different videotapes, etc. RE: Favorite App and Why
Zdic is my favorite. Zdic is the best dictionary application. Zdic has many databases such as English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korea, Medical terms, History. TX RE: Favorite App and Why
My favorite application is "Trip" by Hands High Software. I can track auto mileage for multiple companies/projects (or multiple cars if necessary). It is very easy to enter data and syncs with my PC so when I need a printed report for tax purposes, I can print a report showing as much detail as I want for the mileage and it calculates the miles driven times the standard cents-per-mile for tax purposes. I couldn't live without it. ozz RE: Favorite App and Whyclevewaterman @ 11/21/2006 11:09:24 PM #
Favorite app: Natara Bonsai This is the main reason I am still using Palm OS. I have been taking daily notes for several years in my job (anesthesiologist). Bonsai allows quick and intuitive access to hundreds of pages of information. RE: Favorite App and Why
Splash ID is my favorite application. I can keep all of my user names and passwords in one spot at my finger tips. Also great for keeping track of account numbers and credit card numbers. It makes it easy to remember all your login for different websites. RE: Favorite App and Whydustbunny44 @ 11/21/2006 11:55:23 PM #
My favorite time eater is Blazer. While I'm waiting for the bus, or in line anywhere, I'll log on and check out news updates, favorite blogs, Slashdot, or the markets. I tell myself it's healthier than a game because I learn things. And while there's lots of other browsers out there to try, Blazer does the trick so I've never felt the need to check the others out - I just use it. RE: Favorite App and Why
There are many apps I like, but I would say the unsung hero on my Palm is NeatFreak. By starting with these two apps, before I added anything else, my 700P NEVER crashes and CallRec works flawlessly. Palm Vx - Kyocera 6035 - Palm 700P RE: Favorite App and Why
Google Maps: I live in Chicago and as you can expect Traffic is bad most days. The google maps traffic eature has helped me on several occasions avoid traffic backups while I am on the road. (NOTE: Do not use google maps while driving.)
Favorite Palm OS applicationJimmie Geddes @ 11/13/2006 10:16:24 PM #
My favorite Palm OS application has to be Chatter. I understand why BlackBerry people love their devices due to push-email. This is a must have application on a Treo.
Jimmie Geddes, Editor http://www.gadgetsonthego.net
Most useful app for a mobile device
Although there are numerous apps that have the potential (MissingSync, SplashID, FileZ, Bejeweled2), GoogleMaps is the must have app for a mobile device.
My Favorite Palm OS Application
Given the 100's of applications I've tested and/or purchased over the years, this is a very difficult question. There are several apps that help me with my daily productivity such as Agendus Professional, Repligo and Note Studio. There are daily readers that I turn to for my news feeds and books such as iSilo, MobiPocket and eReader. There are tons of apps on my Zire 72s that I use for reading the Bible, taking notes, pairing up the best wine for a certain meal, and calculating tips. There are the silent workers who toil in the background waiting in the wings to be called up at a moments notice such as SnapCalc5 and the myriad dictionaries I have from BDicty, Pocket Lingo and Nexus. However, the software that ties everything together that I use the most often and frequently would have to be the workhorse of all of my applications on my PDA: ZLauncher. ZL is an app uses themes and skins to your liking. You can have as many tabs as you want or none at all. ZL helps to save space my allowing me to move files onto my SD card in a smooth and unobtrusive manner. ZL can be as complex or simple as I'd like it to be. Critics (I was formerly one of them) have said that this application is rather bloated. But, anyone whose given this app a good test-drive will know that it is not bloated but sophisticated and willing to adapt to the users varied and sometimes, temperamental tastes. ZL's power comes from is intuitive interface that empowers PDA users who are novices or tech-savvy vets. I could go on and on about ZLauncher and its compatibility with a host of software, but, I'd just be rambling. ZLauncher gets my vote!!!
Fave App
My absolute favorite app is NesEm. I can still beat Ninja Gaiden 3 without any continues...
Computers don't make mistakes, people do.
Parens Calculator
I have been using Parens for years. It is the best calculator for any device. When Rick Huebner stopped supporting it I was so disappointed. I wanted a cleaner look than the old round keys that were originally designed for a Palm IIIc. It was only very recently (admitting with some shame) that I discovered that the Parens calculator is the default calculator on the Treo. I never knew how to change from one function to the other until I read an article on the web. I was so glad to see it cleaned up. It isn't quite as good as Parens, because you can't do a drop down menu to choose which function you want, but I am always using the conversion utilities and other great features of this outstanding calculator.
favourite app: market trade
I love the game Market Trade. That's why I spent hours programming it. It's not original, but it keeps me entertained. I also like Docs To Go and The Core Media Player.
CallRec
CallRec keeps me from having disagreements of what was or was not said. It is worth way more then $20 to me.
Best Apps
AvantGo is my favorite because it lets me take the news with me on the train, to read in court, and in my free time. It is easy to use and best of all -- free. Of course, there are plenty of other great applications out there (e.g. eReader, MobiPocket Reader, Bejeweled) but AvantGo really accentuates what is special about a pocket device - portability of information in a useable form. EBL RE: Best Apps
For me, AvantGo is also the best and most-used application i have in my Treo 650 (and in my previous and lost Tungsten T and in my first Palm, a IIIx).With Anvantgo i can read my favorite newspapers, plan routes, get tips for cities I visit worldwide, get conversion rates between different currencies... A Swiss knife all in all.. Congratulations on your new design.. RE: Best Apps
My favourite application is MobileDB. Many many reasons - can have multiple database tables. Can create, define my own fields. In effect, have a separate "walled off" area for each category of my critical data. Hundreds of pre-built databases to choose from on the internet.
I was once stuck at the Chicago airport due to a snowstorm. All the big name hotels were booked by stranded travelers. My savior was this Hotel database that I had downloaded (for free) - found a small hotel close to the airport to crash for the night for USD 65.00. Now that is real usefulness. Absolutely love it. Cant live without it.
DateBk 6.0
A great enhancement to the standard Palm calendar application. Only one I know that can show multiple time zones. Really help with business travel in/out of the US.
Best application
YAUC Yet another unit converter. (Free)
Besides the handy calculations it gives when I'm measuring stuff in the kitchen. It's always fun to be able to tell just how many stones or slugs are in a 6 lb bag of potatoes. Or how about the frequent times when I need to convert between different units when doing moments of intertia calculations. kg-m2 to pound force inch sq second. Yeah. Or 10 l/100km is the same as 23.5214583 mpg. Or 1 Ampere hour is equal to .0373114 faraday. No cell phone calculator will be able to replace this application anytime soon.
Work and PlayHe||Raiser @ 11/13/2006 11:00:12 PM #
Bundled Software: DocumentsToGo is one of the greatest programs out there for the Palm. I know it's productivity software, and to some extent I miss the neat little things about WordSmith, but DocsToGo has allowed me to take notes in my college classes for the last four years, typing thousands of pages. Without DocsToGo, I'd be lugging a heavy laptop to class everyday, or worse, a pen and pad.
User Install: TCPMP lets my PalmT3 become my iPod. I can watch DVDs I rip from my collection or listen to any number of music albums on the run. Two important things: (1) it allows my Palm to be louder than RealPlayer does and (2) it's free!
Favorite Appmacshimidh @ 11/13/2006 11:12:07 PM #
My favorite is Mobile Systems OfficeSuite. It has all the functionality of DTG, but in a nice, modern-looking interface.
Acid SolitaireLarryGarfield @ 11/13/2006 11:12:14 PM #
I think the 3rd party app I use most is Acid Solitaire. No matter where I go or what I'm doing, if I have a few minutes of boredom, I can fill them with an attractive, simple game that lets me play "looser rules" Solitaire. :-) I have other games, but that's the one I play most. Business app, I'd have to say WordSmith for use as a book reader for the same reason. No matter where I am, I have a book or four on hand to blow off some time. RE: Acid Solitaire
Ditto on Acid Solitare. There's many other great games available for the PalmOS, but I've always came back to Acid Solitare throughout the years & many devices.
Fav app = Strip 2.0
Strip 2.0 is an app that I use almost everyday. I use it to store all sorts of data that I would rather keep private - passwords, credit card info, Palm app keys, etc. I just found out that 2.0 came out and am very happy that there's support for the Treo 650's 5-way nav.
TCPMPlegodude522 @ 11/13/2006 11:08:41 PM #
I love TCPMP so much. Great performance over mmplayer and Kinoma and yet its free! TCPMP also takes advantage of the Tapwave Zodiac's ATI graphics for better video playback. The player has a very conservative and standard look and feel. Simplicity at it's best!
Palm m125 > Palm Zire 71 > Tapwave Zodiac 1 > Palm Zire 72 > Sharp Zaurus SL-C1000
My Favorite App
My favorite Palm OS app is Salling Clicker. It's basically allowed me to hook my PC into my TV and use it as an all purpose media device, and to remotely controly video playing apps, iTunes, etc. It works perfectly, it's really well designed. Couldn't ask for more in an app.
If I had to pick a runner up it would be TomTom Navigator, which also allows me to use my Treo 650 as a GPS device (and saved me $500-700 from buying a separate standalone GPS unit).
Favorite App
Has to be wwCalc which I use evey day all day to keep a healthy diet and exercise schedule
ap67
Favorite Palm app
It's hard to choose among Vindigo, PocketTunes, iSilo, and TomTom Navigator... Since I need to chose one, that would be iSilo!
Messaging
While there's a ton of good third-party PalmOS apps out there, my favourite PalmOS app by far is the excellent built-in Treo Messaging app. It's an almost perfectly designed piece of software; simple to use, easy to send group messages and the integration with the camera and Media app is beyond reproach. Tim I apologise for any and all emoticons that appear in my posts. You may shoot them on sight. Treo 270 ---> Treo 650 RE: Messaging
My favorite is PhatNotes. Great way to keep track of daily activities. Created multiple databases to separate various types of work or activities.
- Bill
My Favorite Palm OS Application
Puh! That's difficult. But I think the most useful application I'm running on my TX is QuickNews. Every morning when I wake up I have already tons of latest news waiting for me. I think RSS feeds are really a great invention.
Cheers.
MyCheckbook
MyCheckbook found at http://www.thequickster.com/products/ is my cant live without app.
Simple and Useful
HandyShopper
It's a toss up between HandyShopper and HandBase. I've used both since PalmOS 3.01. And if I haven't said it enough already I need a new pda with a thumbpad to replace my prehistoric T|C. It's so old carbon 14 dating won't even work on it.
What I want is a treo without the cell radio and antenna, but with wifi, bluetooth, nano thin, snappy 500mhz processor, and you can even keep the same old frankengarnet. And while we're talking about favorites, PIC has been my favorite palm site for many years. It was rough for awhile when that other guy went to the other pda site because I used to like his articles, but Ryan has done an excellent job maintaining this site.
fav app & y
my fav app gotta be Pocket Quicken; it is even better than the desktop counterpart in some ways (because Intuit's Quicken sucks on both Windows and on the Mac); Pocket Quicken single-handedly keeps me using Quicken on the desktop (on a Mac), and is almost the last reason to keep using the Palm OS PDA... it becomes a sad story after this...
ScorePad Softwareufbaseball15 @ 11/13/2006 11:38:54 PM #
Being a minor league baseball player, we get to use the teams pda and run ScorePad which helps track stats, batting averages, and pitches for scouting reports. Works great and is very helpful. I hope I can get a pda/phone to help myself get to the big leagues.
Favorite software
Softick Audio Gateway is the best program for my Treo 650. Streaming stereo music to my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 headset makes this better than my Ipod. The sound quality is awesome and SAG 1.06 works very well.
VersaMail 3.5
While it's not perfect (lots of reboots), the fact that it uses ActiveSync saves me hours and hours of work... time I actually get to spend doing other things.
I'll be crossing my fingers on the treo...
Datebk6
My favorite is The latest in the Pimlico Datebook series, Datebook6
It has all the features that I need/want, and more than I'd ever use. The more I use it the more I keep finding useful features!
Favorite AppCaptain Hair @ 11/13/2006 11:46:18 PM #
Documents to Go.
I've used it for years for writing term papers, note taking, finance balancing, pdf reading, and novel writing. It's been an indispensible application on all of the Palm's I have ever owned.
surprising little app
People can't believe that I'm doing AIM chat from my Treo. I found a little independent app called Toccer, which makes the Palm platform such a fun experience that individuals can create such useful applications.
Dangerous whilst driving, so like GoogleMaps says, Don't drive and use!
CS FaxConklinsys @ 11/14/2006 12:00:14 AM #
While certainly I'm biased, CS Fax is huge fun to show off. The reactions of the people around when I receive a fax on the Palm are priceless, and it's saved my own butt more than a few times when I needed to sign something.
Markspace Mail, Google Maps, PalmVNC, FileZ, DotDotTwo and SmbMate are also favorites.
PocketTunes Deluxe
By far my most used and most useful application. I listen to a lot of music, podcasts, and radio programs. Plus this program integrates so well with the Palm OS. With MagicButton I can answer phone calls and pause/play the music with ease. For me it beats an IPod hands down.
Datebk 5/6superwoman @ 11/14/2006 12:07:48 AM #
This is always the first application that I install whenever I buy a new Palm, or resetted my Palm.
My favorite palm app - PalmBible+
My favorite palm app is PalmBible+. This application shows the bible with easy way of reading and searching. It makes me be able to read the Bible anytime, anywhere.
Datebk6PDA Fanatic @ 11/14/2006 12:16:33 AM #
Datebk6 helps me juggle my many "to dos" at work and keeps me focused on the important stuff at home. I'm sure I would loose my sanity without this wonderfully designed and integrated program.
Mel
fav. App
My most useful app is Datebk 6. I guess it is my favorite also because I use it and play with it.
Bill- palmpilot-pro-3x-handera-tx
Cell plan tracker
I've only got 60 weekday minutes (500 weekend), so this is a nice quick way to check my minutes. Sure, I know about #MIN, but this has no delay and is always up to date. And it's the only piece of software that I bought for my 180 that I still use on my 600.
my palminfocenter....
....Has grown together with my love for Palm. For years PIC has been the number 1 place for all Palm related- I am confident it will continue to.
TCPMP
I also like TCPMP most, because it plays all my favorite videos and even my own videos! BEst app ever ;)
Ultrasoft Money
It has to be Ultrasoft Money... it show's me exactly how much debt I am in at any given time. Fantastic.
Salling Clicker
Tough one to call this! I guess it has to be Salling clicker as it allows me control my Mac from anywhere and is handy as a presentation remote too.Others worthy of mention would be TCPMP and Splashblog...
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate"
VersaMail v.3.5.1
Even though that VersaMail v.3.5.1 could use a lot more features, I am still somewhat in a Honeymoon Stage with my Treo 700p,and it has a lot to do with having Email on the go:)!
Sometimes my 700p suffers from a short freezes,or even freez crashes, where the Soft Reset is needed. If I win this new 700P, I'd do a Hard Reset on my current 700p and give it away as a gift. By then, maybe the new 700P will come with an Updated Software, and will be more stable? Having portable email is GREAT!!! Can't wait for Palm and Verizon to make Dial Up Networking EvDO more reliable with my Mac OS 10.4.8 via Bluetooth! Also, if they could make the Phone Application more stable, with more features, and LOUDER without having to buy VolumeCare which didn't seem to make a difference!!! If Palm added Notes,and Graffiti back, like on my Tungsten T3, I'd be even happier:)!!! Keeping my fingers crossed:), but GOOD LUCK everyone:)!!!
my favorite palm os x app
While I love all my apps, I think the MyBible app is the my favorite because if I ever need encouragement, wisdom, reminders, etc... I got the Bible in my pocket!
Brainforest
even though the desktop client is pretty limited, Brainforect is the cimplest and most intuitive outlining and project manager for the Palm.
Comic collection on FileMaker Mobile
To be honest, I don't use my Sony UX50 all that much any more. One thing I do use it for is my personal mission critical application: keeping track of my comic book collection. I've had my comics listed in a FileMaker Pro database since the early nineties. When FileMaker Mobile was announced, I jumped on it. Ever since, I've happily been keeping my comics in sync across four generations of PalmOS devices I've carried with me to comic shops and conventions.
Fav application
MetrO of course !
In addition to the regular Palm built-in app, I'm using metro in every new city I'm visiting... Specialy usefull in Asia ! http://chotto.free.fr/tatami/Metro/index-en.html Cheers
eReader and Plucker
I'm an ebook junkie, so I'll mention the two readers I spend most of my time in: eReader (for books I've purchased from eReader.com or Fictionwise.com), and Plucker (for stuff I've converted over from .CHM or HTML). I can't remember the last time I read a paper novel!
My Favorite Apphenrytaylor @ 11/14/2006 6:19:43 AM #
There are so many favorites to choose from. AvantGo, where I get my daily ration of news. PalmReader, to read all the books I have stored. p Tunes, to listen to my music. VersaMail, for my near addiction to my email accounts. My very favorite and most important id DocToGo. It is the most indespensable app I have. I keep all my work documents on my palm (Treo 650). Excell and Word being the most essential, I use them every day. Work flow and planning are addressed several times a day. This is without a doubt, my favorite app.

I use iSilo everyday. With it I am able to carry interactive documents that fit my personal, spiritual and business needs. One great facet is the ability to use iSiloX to build my own documents. Very easy to use and practical.

Google Maps
You're stuck in traffic, you're completely lost, but help is right at your fingers. Gotta love a quick, very easy to read mapping program that has real time traffic!
Isilomattchapin @ 11/14/2006 7:48:56 AM #
I love having the IsiloX converter button in internet explorer. I use it to download whole sites to my palm. Browsing offline with Isilo is a lot faster than browsing online with Blazer.
My favorite
Golf Solitaire by Jeff Jetton. This is a very simple game that I play for hours per week. Great for some mindless downtime during stressful days. Would be great to have some color though. Hope it works on the Treo 700P when I switch in January...
google map
google map saved me manytimes. i would say that i could not survive without it. it is probably the best map program out there for palm.

SplashID
If I had to choose, I guess it would be SplashID. Keeps track of all my passwords and sensitive information. Let's me have it on the go...
My Favorite Palm App
I have a few favorites.
Probabely the most valued is: LifeBalance
I just don't use the built-in Task List anymore.
Palm III, Palm III, Palm m105, Palm Tungsten T, palmOne Tungsten T5, Palm TX
Favorite Appseahorsejl @ 11/14/2006 8:37:57 AM #
My favorite and most used application has to be JFile. I have been using it for countless years and is has the right amount of flexibility for my needs.

My favorite Palm app . . .
My favorite palm app is is Mobileclock. I love the interface. Its so easy to use that I use it to wake me up in the morning, help me when I cook, and wake me up from naps during the day.
My Favortie App
My favorite app is Agendus. I am a traveling salesman and it really puts the lifeblood into my Treo. I would literally die without it. I don't know if anyone ever came up with a name for the treo like they did for the crackberry but I am definetely addicted!!!!
SplashID
The handiest way ever to maintain passwords (especially when tied to the SplashID Desktop).
Favorite App
My favorite app would have to be the built in calendar and contacts app. I have used S60 devices, UIQ devices, and Windows Moblie devices, and for some reason none of them match the simplicity and ease-of-use of these apps. I can sort my appointments in color-coded categories. And with one button press, I can start entering appointments. On the Nokia e61, I have to plow through several menus to get this same functionality.
I guess, from using lots of different portable OSes, I can really appreciate what gives the Palm it's "zen". -Eric
Best Treo Application
Google Maps!!
I was in the DC area last week and had to drive to a hospital and then drive from the hospital to dinner. It was so simple to put in the address of the hospital and then the restaurant to find my way there. Being able to zoom in or out and then drag the map around makes this the best Palm OS application ever! Everyone I give it to thinks it is so cool.
Favorite Apps.willwinter @ 11/14/2006 8:54:48 AM #
There are 3 that I cant live without:
VeriChat: Always on Instant Messaging accross the major providers. Essential for business and personal use. TCPMP: I have a 5 year old daughter. I have many movies and TV shows on a 2 GB SD card she can watch when we're stuck in traffic, waiting in line somewhere, etc. My 5 year old is happy. I'm happy. Documents to Go: Word, Excel, PDF and PowerPoint native on my palm. Don't need to say more about that.
Favorite Applicationbrian.mcdonald @ 11/14/2006 8:44:44 AM #
This isn't very exciting, but my favorite (and most used) application on my Treo 650 is TiBR. Very lightweight. Easy to use and always works. :-)

Launcher XConnoisseur @ 11/14/2006 9:00:49 AM #
Launcher X is easily my favorite application and has been since my Tungsten T/2. I moved it to my T3 then to my current T5. I just can't be satisfied with the standard Palm launcher interface because I love the Launcher X tabs so much. It makes organizing my T5 so much easier and more intuitive. Obviously, it is my most used app. I have a few games and I like Docs to Go and the built in PIM's but the one app I was happy to spring for with hard cash was Launcher X. That says something.
-Connoisseur
My Favorit App
Agendus has to be the most used app on my Treo 650. There isn't a day goes by that I don't check my schedule, make notes, check weather and directions, etc. It truly is an integral part of my business and productivity. I don't know what I did before Treo and Agendus and I don't know what I would do without it.
TravelTracker!!!!!scouter075 @ 11/14/2006 9:18:00 AM #
I travel,on average, 1-2 times per week. Keeping track of flights, rental cars and hotels are a snap with TravelTracker 3.8 from SilverWARE. http://www.silverware.com.
Once I enter the info in TT, it is automatically entered into my Palm calendar. I couldn't work without it.
Fave app
I have to say it's a game because it keeps me entertainment while in waiting mode... WordPop! is my current game.
Meryl K. Evans http://www.meryl.net/ http://www.meryl.net/blog/
Favorite App: SplashBlog
I would have to say my favorite and most used app. is SplashBlog. This excellent app. allows me to take pictures of our 3 children and their grandparents to see (almost on a daily basis) what they are up to. Not all of their grandparents/great grandparents are in the same state and really appreciate seeing the children.
SplashBlog helps family located thousands of miles way feel a bit closer to our home. SplashBlog has my vote!
My favorite app is: PLUCKER
Hi,
I just love Plucker. I'm downloading everyday tons of news on my PDA with Sunrise and watch them with Plucker whenever I have some minutes (or even hours) to spare. It's one of the programs I use for the longest period, as it has been installed on all of my Palm PDAs. I just love it! Cheers,
Treo 700p Relaunch Giveawaythepassenger @ 11/14/2006 9:24:27 AM #
I'm very partial to a little freeware time-waster called Pyramid from Seahorse Software. Regular solitaire doesn't interest me, but I play this all the time.
Favorite application
Agendus is my favorite app on my T|C. I can link contcts with appointments, get a map of their location and even get the weather there.
Favorite App and some feedback
My favorite app is Docs to Go - been a palm user for over a decade but when I could open Word and Excel - that is awesome!
PS. The new design is nice update but the "View Article" button is too close to the article below it - it makes me think I'm clicking to view the details of the article below.
Mice coming out of the woodwork
Sheesh. You offer to give away some free cheese and suddenly all of the once quiet and hidden mice appear with their mouths open.
Favorite Application
It would have to be AvantGo for me. It helps me keep on tops of news and information from myriad sources.
Favorite App
Great question.
My favorite by far is Turbopasswords www.chapura.com/passwordmanager.php I have used it every day for years and love it. It helps me keep up with all those blasted logins you have to have these days. It even autofills them for me. I would be lost without. Runners up: Docs2go
Favorite app?
Well, there are many apps that I've used over the years and continue to use, like HandyShopper, Converter, CostComp, Autobase... And since I'm still stuck using an old Handspring Visor (8MB), there are many that I would love to use on a newer device (like Docs to go, TCPMP). (In other words, I'd REALLY LOVE to win this Treo!)
But right now, the one app that I get the most use of (other than the basic builtins) is MyBible.
Agendus
I like Agendus Professional the best since it provides enhanced support for the palm applications without having different databases. This is important since most conduits use the palm databases.
favorite app
I love all the apps!! Please do not make me pick a favorite!! Just keep the apps coming. Love calender, avant, todo, memos, and many of the medical apps i have used.
Agendus
I know they don't have a good rep. I still like their product. Sorry about not supporting the Apes.
My FavoriteMoonMaiden @ 11/14/2006 9:48:54 AM #
My favorite Palm OS application is Documents To Go.
"Documents To Go is the only product on the market today with support for native Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and TXT files as well as native JPEG and BMP graphics. You can even use files saved to expansion cards or sent as e-mail attachments directly on your smartphone or PDA without synchronization. Most importantly, your original desktop documents will never lose formatting when you make edits on your device using DataViz's unique InTact Technology."
ShadowPlan
I use ShadowPlan extensively because it allows me to make hierarchically lists (Tasklists, checklists, notes, etc.) that can customized and link/create items on my Task list. And it's not available for Windows Mobile (that's good or bad depending on your view point).

Picture Dial by Toysoftsilversurfer20 @ 11/14/2006 9:48:14 AM #
There are so many applications for the Treo devices so it's very hard to narrow down just one single application. That being the case here my vote for usability and overall wow factor has to go to Picture Dial by Toysoft. This amazing little application gives the user a picture ribbon of photos and applications that can be put into any order. The picture ribbon will replace the favorites at the bottom of your main dialer screen and definitely will impress most folks who catch a glance at this impressive application. Being the main dialer screen is such a key focal point of the Treo this one definitely gets my vote! If you haven't you should definitely check it out.

My favorite Appjasonandmaria @ 11/14/2006 9:59:03 AM #
Without a doubt Bible+ is my hands down favorite. I've used many apps on numerous handhelds with about every OS you can think of and this one wins hands down. It's simple, intuitive, powerful, and it's open source....what more could you ask?
IIIx==>V==>IIIe==>Vx==>IIIc==>m505==>m515==>T|T==>?
Button Launch
Button Launch(Freeware) makes it easy to get to whatever program I want with just 2 button clicks. I love it.
Smartlist To Go
Of all the Palm apps I've installed, both free and commercial, this is, by far, the one with the most utility for me. I use it for library research, project management, and as my portable version of our wine and loose-leaf tea trials and preferences.
-- PalmPilot Pro (1997) -> III (1998) -> Vx (1999) -> m500 (2001) -> m515 (2002) -> ???
