Quickies: Pilot Install 2.0, Qvadis Express Reader Pro 2.0

envi.con has released Pilot Install 2.0. This freeware tool allows you to install Palm software much faster than HotSyncing and now offers the ability to put images on a user's Palm. Every picture comes with its own tiny built-in viewer and can be looked at immediately on the device. Images can be beamed to other users' Palms, who can also use the viewer app. In addition, this new version offers enhanced capability to convert and send documents only fly from a PC to a handheld, like text to doc, midi to alarm etc.

Qvadis has released version 2.00 of Express Reader Pro, an e-text reader.

Its desktop module, Express Reader DX, now lets users directly view, edit, and convert MS Word files to Qvadis format for the Palm - without the need to save the file in an intermediate format. This complements DX's existing built-in converters for text, rich text, and HTML. The viewer, Express Reader GT, now offers enhanced color compatibility and is now able to read documents in Flash memory, including support for Flash Modules for Visor, TRG's FlashPro, and JackFlash. It costs $27.
