My Favorite Palm OS Application
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!!!

RE: Best Apps
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.

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.

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:)!!!

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!

Directory Assistant
I love how I can search for a phone number then I can automatically create a Contact from the search results. A great, great app!
Favorite Application
Without Agendus, I have to open EITHER of the 4 main databases (contacts, tasks, calendar, memo), but with it, I can link all of the various records which relate to each other.
I know that iambic regularly takes hits for stupid marketing tricks (the classic being trying to hijack Datebk's URL), and falling prey to Intuit's "rent, don't buy" the software by regularly making minimalist incremental upgrades.
But the bottom line is that like no other software, Agendus turns the PDA into a relational database of everything that this professional needs to function, and has done so for almost as long as I've used a Palm (my first unit was a III). And now that I have a TX, I can even tie email records into contacts, calendar, tasks and memos, like I can on my desktop in the office using TimeMatters.

TealScript
It became especially important when I upgraded to my current PDA/phone, a Kyocera 7135, since all it came stock with was Graffiti II, which is very awkward for all us longtime original Graffiti users. TealScript essentially restored original Graffiti functionality to my Kyocera 7135, and I use it every single time I use my PDA. It's not flashy or sexy, but it runs reliably and quietly in the background, restarts properly upon reset, and Tealpoint is great about keeping it updated for all PalmOS devices.

Favorite app? Who can choose?
Newie and outstanding: Google Maps for Mobile. Sure, the Treo could do mapping, directions, and phone/address lookups before, albeit less easily, elegantly, and quickly. But live traffic used to require PDAnet and a laptop. Woohoo!
And of course, let's not forget the basic suite of contacts, calendar, memos, tasks, and email.
Favorite App (and why):
As a free-lance salesman, I have to interface with a multitude of messaging apps (Outlook, Notes, Groupwise, etc.), and I need both POP and IMAP compatibility.
To-date, I have found nothing that delivers an easy-to-use, desktop email experience to the Palm platform like Snappermail. The ability to manage POP & IMAP, multiple accounts/folders, the ability to manage what stays on the server...nothing is easier to set up or use; yet, nothing is as powerful at the same time.
Add in its terrific support for the major document management suites (DocsToGo, QuickOffice, etc.), and you add the ability to download and manage MS Office and Adobe PDF document without any conversion.
Bottom line: If you know how to use email on your PC, and know how to use your Palm, SnapperMail will deliver a powerful messaging experience that melds the best of both platforms.

OnBoardC, of course!
I was lucky to be around when Individeo decided to donate the OnBoardC source code to the active user/developer community and I got the chance to help organize the first open source development on the project as well as make some contributions to the code. Which is to say I'm more than a little biased when I say OnBoardC is the best software ever written for the Palm OS. ;-) But I can't take any credit for its success, which has everything to do with the original genius of Roger Lawrence and Keithan Hayenga (now at PalmSource) and a great community of volunteer developers who came after me.
If you're a C developer, a whiz at Graffiti, and love the Palm OS, check out OnBoardC at http://onboardc.sourceforge.net/ It's a gas!

My favorite application for Palm
Too hard to choose
These three Apps have been stalwarts to me. InstallWatch has helped me keep my devices clean and running after countless demo App installs/uninstalls. LauncherX has been consistently reliable and handy - pioneering many features in the 3rd party launcher space. Agendus Pro allows me to keep myself better organized by enhancing the built-in PIM Apps to make them more functional and useful.
Apart from the three Apps above, I have found BackupMan to be a stellar App. It has saved me from data loss on countless occasions. Keylink is another good App for direct text entry into my device. Other cool/fun/useful Apps include: Minefield 1.0.2; Patience Revisited; Billiards 4.2; Google Maps; Butler; Graffiti Anywhere; and Directory Assistant.
The best part about the Palm OS is the variety of Apps available. If you have a Palm OS device/smartphone you can find an App to do just about anything you need.

csCalendars
www.clearsync.com
I’m a business owner and without this app my business would be much harder to run. The application is csCalendars by ClearSync. This application has made my life so easy and I will explain why.
csCalendars gives you the ability to create calendars on your handheld in addition to the native palm calendar. It allows you to sync those calendars to the clearsync server online so that all your calendar events are uploaded and backed up. That’s not the good part. The great thing about this is app is that other people can sync to the very same calendar wirelessy!
As a business owner of a carpet cleaning company, I schedule jobs everyday and I schedule them using clearsync. The beautiful thing about this is that I can upload my calendar events and my business partner and employees can get these events by simply performing a wireless sync from their Treo.
It’s simple: I schedule jobs (events) in my csCalendar. I wirelessly sync my csCalendar to the ClearSync server. My business partner and employees perform a wireless sync from their Treo to my calendar online, bingo they have the jobs scheduled for that day or week.
When you perform a wireless sync to the ClearSync server you can do it for that day, week, or month.
This application is a time saver for my business. No paper calendar anymore. I field calls and simply schedule them on my phone and then sync to the server.
GREAT APPLICATION AND I COULDN’T LIVE WITHOUT IT AND I HAVE A TON OF APPS ON MY TREO 700P.

My favorite application is the MyBible Daily Reader. Our youngest daughter went through a period of time when she wouldn't fall asleep at night unless I sat in her room with her, with the lights off of course. I began running the Daily Reader on my Palm IIIc and used the "down time" to read through the Bible in a year. Now, five years and four handhelds later, our daughter falls asleep by herself, but I have been through the Bible nearly five times and have kept going.

My favorite Palm application
I first started using the version that was built into the Handspring Visor Prism. When I got rid of that PDA, I missed the application and I purchased DateBK4. I have since upgraded through version 5 and just recently version 6.
My favorite features about it are: It keeps my Outlook calendar synched flawlessly at work and at home. The ability to customize the look by category and using icons is great as well as the views. Having an integrated ToDo view is great, and being able to link events to addresses, keep notes is awesome. But the top feature I like is the ability to manage time zones on appointments and calendars flawlessly! I travel a lot with my job all over the place (especially the far east), and with jet-lag my PDA and this application have kept me on track for many, many years.

simply because I use it everyday. Avantgo is not perfect by a long shot, I'm a Zodiac 2 user who wishes Avantgo would work widescreen in both Portrait and Landscape (hello Avantgo R&D) modes, which at present it does not.
Nonetheless, Avantgo greatest fame is it's ability to sync news updates (like palminfocenter.com) and allow users to view these updates while sitting in traffic and waiting in the doctors office.
It also supports remote updates and synchronization via WIFI and can also serve as a quick Web Browser in a pinch.
Avantgo Rocks!

Close behind Initiate are Genius and DA. I use both of these applications several times a day. And when I buy my next device, it might be my comfort with these programs that keeps my with the Palm OS over anything else.

Chatteremail wins because it is simply the one application that most improves my Treo experience by itself. I use it constantly, and it works VERY well. Plus, Marc Blank, the developer, is in constant communication with his community, and I LOVE that about any product.

My favorite Palm OS application is "Inner Backup". First of all it is free. Secondly, it is one wonderful backup system that will enable you to restore all from a SD card.
With so many to choose from...
There are so many to choose from. It's difficult to narrow it down to one.
I'm a sucker for a good freeware app, and my favourite still has to be Filez.

The control it gives me over the files on my Palm is wonderful. It's been a mainstay on my handheld since it's release, and it's saved me a lot of work many times, deleting rogue files and saving time having to restore from a backup.
It is still the best app I've seen, hands down.
One by one, the penguins are stealing my sanity.

Finding words in much faster then a with a paper dictionary, it includes several dictionaries (some free) AND it has a strong flashcard componenent and user-created dictionary. The developer cares a lot about his product and in my opinion it is the best in its field.

Favorite App and why
There are several apps that I use every day - calendar, ereader, memos. Boring perhaps. I do really like AvantGo. When I switched from my LG phone to the Palm Treo I found that Verizon obnoxiously upped my mobile web access charges from $5 per month to either $45 per month or - in what they called a deal - $25 for 10 megs of data. Data access without a plan is like $15 a meg! Crazy! So, thank goodness for AvantGo. I have the day's news, some reviews, Palm Info center, etc... with me when I leave for the day.

My 2 cents
Followed by a close second of TextPlus (why the Treo needs to be released full screen without the keyboiard).
I also like SplashShopper.
Send me my new Treo right away (all right, I'll still accept it with the stupid keyboard).

Bonsai, is simply good software. It has a wide variety of uses, a multitude of options and settings, is visually pleasing, and essentially bug free. I can use it for planning, task lists, projects, outlining, note-taking, the list is almost endless.

DTG enabled me to obtain a hefty raise shortly after starting at a new firm; was the impetus for subsequently being promoted to division head within four months; the linchpin to an ongoing tryst with a famous model, but that story is for another time...
Best App
KeyGuardTime+
I found KGT+, and decided to try using it to show a list of upcoming appointments, however, and quickly realized what a benefit it was. While with other "today" screens, like the one in the newest version of DateBk, I have to actively check that program to be reminded of what's coming up, I'm now presented with a list every time I turn my Treo on, without worrying about what program I'm in.
If I need to check the time or upcoming appointments while I'm using another program, I just hold down my calendar button, and up pops KGT+ with the clock and appointment list again.
I've definitely remembered a couple of bills I'd otherwise have forgotten about thanks to KGT+, and as freeware, the price can't be beat!

The App I Would Love to Hate
(1) Is it too much to ask for multiple file selection capability?
(2) Do I have to beg for Type3 fonts so I can see equations?
(3) O, my Access files, wherefore art thou, my Access files?
(4) How about starting each file with "D2G_" prefix guys :~(
(5) You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred.
#2 App = PDAStats. But you didn't ask for this?
Thanks for opportunity.

Still, while all of the above apps are leaders for the type of apps they represent, my "favorite" app -- overall -- is DateBk (currently DateBk6). Not only is it a terrific schedule-master, the [sole individual] developer is very responsive to user-requests -- be they for support or improvement. He's an extremely talented programmer. Also, there's a terrific user-community that's available for people who have questions/problems. It is an _extremely_ rare day when I don't do SOMEthing related to DateBk. Even if/when I'm sick, I go into DateBk to run my "Sick -- don't bother me with alarms" Saved View. I have a similar one for when I'm on vacation. Saved Views that show me what my work-week is like and some that hide those work-related things on the weekend so I'm not bothered by alarms when I don't want them. DateBk not only helps me stay organized, it helps me look good. I'll stop into someone's office after I get a reminding for a meeting and they've completely forgotten about it. Or if someone's needing equipment set up for a presentation or a video-conference, I'm there setting it up before they get there; that almost always is appreciated, even if it doesn't impress.
While it may be that any "electronic calendar" app/device can do the same, it's actually DateBk that makes it "fun" managing my schedule. And the fact that I use it daily makes it one of the most -- if not THE most -- used apps on my device. It's functional, it's efficient, it's extremely customizable and it's fun. And the user-community provides insights -- to the app itself as well as other things -- and gives additional function and support to the already outstanding app. That's why DateBk[6] is my "favorite" app.

I want the new Palm Treo!
Back then, AeroPlayer was also a strong contender.
But with a new job, my handheld became less of a Palm and more of a phone.
As a phone, my favorite application would have to be either Ringo Pro or ZLauncher... let's see... okay... I'll go with ZLauncher. I find it's configurability and options make using my Treo (and all the other handhelds before it) so much easier and better. Lot of set-up, but well worth it.

How my favorite Palm OS application saved me time
It is an instant convienent reference for me to use when I don't have time to fumble through a messy unorganized paper organizer or look relentlessly for a pen that works or a pencil that is sharpened to write things down. Thus, it allows me to manage my time more effectively and efficiently. An extra perk is that the Palm and an IR keyboard can accompany me to meetings and Lectures and provide versatility for home use as well. The week-at-a-glance view is flawless to me because it allows me to see my entire week sorted out and provides me with an organized approach as to how my week is progressing.
This application has saved me time and gives me more time to do other things. Time is no longer the enemy with this application at my finger-tips!!
