Henk Jonas of MetaViewSoft has released a cool iPhone-like keyguard replacement for Palm OS devices. The app simply replaces the standard Treo or Centro keyguard, with a nicer looking transparent slip screen showing the time and system vitals. When you click the center button to dismiss the keyguard, it does a graceful slide away animation. I have to sys it's a nice looking little utility and also shows some additional info such as battery level, free memory and whether or not your silencer is activated. You can also dismiss the keyguard by clicking on the window with a finger. You can catch a short video clip of it in action after the break.

The as of yet unnamed app was created by Henk for the recent German Palm User Meeting sponsored by Nexave. It is available as a free download with a GPL open source license.

I usually am not one to spring for frivolous "luxury" items but I will confess to being a sucker for a high-quality wallet or billfold. After having too many cheap wallets deteriorate under the rigors of my relentless rump, I began carrying a Tumi wallet several years ago and have never considered another brand since. I love Tumi's combination of elegant styling, superb craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
