Memory used - rom not listed, others info - size and price missing and I don't ever intend having this list perfect.
Usage of apps goes from Killer, Lots, Used, Okay, Hmmm, Torture, Dump - hopefully it is obvious which is better. Also is the category Not-used where I haven't used something enough to fairly categorize it. And Used and Okay are pretty much the same only I use "Used" alot and I only use "Okay" occasionally.
Of course this is all my own opinion - and the listing is also far from complete - there's loads of software out there and everything ... except perhaps SoftGPS is useful to somebody.
| Name | Size,Usage | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Built-ins | ||
| address | 20k,Lots | I find as yet no need to upgrade from the built-in address book. Although I would love a linkable addr book - e.g. click on something in memo pad and hop to address entry/vice versa. |
| calendar/datebook | 13k,Lots | Again the built in is fine for my needs although I'm going to try out the feature-rich but sizable datebk3 soon |
| todo | 12k,Hmmm | Not that useful - I never dated lists - and found Brainforest much better. |
| memopad | 38k,Lots | This is fine ... used by lots more apps too. |
| calculator | Dump | This is terrible! Almost the first thing I got rid of - get Parens() and/or MathPad instead. |
| application starter/system | 36krom,Used | This is fine ... I don't really agree with all the abuse it gets ... of course it could be a bit less clunky but it's not really all that bad. The various other Command/Launchers don't seem to offer so much more. I'm testing LauncherIII recently but everything I really need comes with the built-in. |
| preferences | Used | Again this is fine - no need to supplant it. |
| hotsync | Used | Again this is fine - no need to supplant it. |
| security | Used | Fine - I don't use much though - I don't use any security enhancers either. |
| expenses | 1k,Hmmm | Kindof fine but I never used it much - I would like to keep track of my money but I find I used MathPad for expenses - very handy. |
| 2k,okay | I don't sync in work :( (HPUX or solaris) but I would LIKE to - I would of course also love a wireless modem .... but in Ireland it's not gonna be worth it really. | |
| Application | ||
| MathLib | 54k,Killer,Freeware | Needed for calculators, pocketC, other applications. |
| MathPad | 44k,Killer,$12 | |
| Parens() | 44k,Used,$12 | I actually tend to use MathPad for everything - don't need to do much stats/other as of yet. This should be listed really as Killer. |
| MathGraph | +4k,Okay | Not used |
| BrainForest | 136k,Lots,$30 | Hierarchial to-do lists and task planner - can assign % complete to project trees. Quite a bit more useful than the built-in ToDo application I find. |
| Actioneer | 80k,Not-used | Didn't find it that useful myself as I don't use todo list dates. |
| Image Viewer | 100k,Okay,$18 | Pretty good - all I need now is something I need to view :) |
| TealDoc | Okay,$17 | Should be a killer but as I don't sync at work isn't :( |
| TealPaint | Okay,$18 | Very good - I need to have something I need this for though |
| TealInfo | Okay,$17 | Not used yet |
| DateBk3 | 250k,Killer,$20 | Recently added this - I find it quite good so far. Worth the space? Probably. |
| Utility | ||
| Pocket C | Used | Should be killer only I don't have the time. PocketC apps |
| Tiny Sheet | Okay,$10 | I've no use for dbase :( |
| JFile | Okay,$20 | No use for dbase - yet! Seems to be some info available (none found too relevant yet) in jfile format. |
| Periodic Table | 30k,Okay | Useful - not much to me though |
| OmniRemote | 50k,Okay | Looks pretty good - programmable remotes cost 1000 pounds here - now my palm is one :) --- need a way to specify freq of buttons though. |
| Bikini, The bicycle computer for your PalmPilot | ||
| Synergy's SynCalc | ||
| System | ||
| HackMaster | 10k,Killer,$5 | Can't do without this - some hacks I find indispensible - others quite dispensable of course. See below. |
| Launcher III | 37k,Used | Quite good - excellent as freeware - but why do I need this? er ... ? :) Cos I like messing obviously. |
| Backup Buddy | 16k,Okay,$20 | Should be a killer but I don't actually use it really - sorry. |
| Hacks | ||
| MenuHack | 2k,Killer | Pull-down menu by click where menu SHOULD be. |
| CaseToggleHack | 4k,Killer | Upper/lower case using taps of stylus - handy. |
| MultiClipHack | +12kdb,Killer | Keeps last few cut/copies in pull-down select list for easy pasting - handy. |
| Fun | Must confess I use games very little - probably more a fault of mine | |
| PalmFract | 65k,Dump | always crashed for me :( |
| Pocket Life PalmLife Life | 5k,Okay | |
| DigiPet | Dump | Beautiful like, but eh ... I'm afraid Tamagochi wear off on me very quickly. |
| SoftGPS | Dump | again - wonderful :) but not for me. His icon editor must be worth a try sometime though. |
| Star-Trek thing | Dump | Great if you like that stuff - could be better though. |
| Games - Thinking Board Card | ||
| Puzzle | 5k,Okay | |
| Picture Logic | 40k,Killer | Picture From Numbers Nice stuff ... entertaining. |
| Blackout | 15k,Killer,$7 | Very simple but entertaining |
| BoulderMan | 27k,Dump,$8 | I think I had funny crashing problems - so this isn't exactly a fair review. I love boulder-man games if they do work though. |
| BlockParty | 17k,Killer | I can't be without tetris, now can I? |
| MineSweeper | 14k | |
| PocketChess | 28k,Killer | Not that I'm any good at chess but I think it's good anyway. |
| Checkers | 6k,Okay,$7 | |
| PGammon | 42k,Okay,$15 | |
| Chinese Checkers | 14k,Okay,$7 | |
| Potelo | 13k,Okay | |

| PocketJack | 11k,Okay | |
| Games - Action Adventure | ||
| Giraffe | 20k,Okay | Quite good actually |
| SubHunt | 18k,Killer | Very addictive and fun. |
| Hardball | 19k,Okay | |
| MineHunt | 10k,Okay | |

| MazeWars | 48k | |
| Palm SF Cave? | 7k,Hmmm | |
| CSnake | Hmmm | Needs PocketC - alright I 'spose |
| CASLrt | 40k | |
| Sound | ||
| Piano | 11k,Okay | Use PocketSynth instead. - although do get display of 8 extra notes - without hassle of manually going up/down freq |
| FretBoard | 13k,Okay | Don't use it much |
| PocketSynth | 16k,Killer,$10 | The best music player/maker so far. Could of course be better :) |
| PlaySynth | Okay | Need PocketC - never really used it much - lots of nice big list of songs available on web. Should add words and make a karaoke machine! |
| Language, Education | ||
| Learn Alpha | 17k,Used | Quite a good flicklist of Kanji and their meanings - pity no on/kun readings though. Other languages available. |
| Kanji Table | Hmmm | Crashed on me a bit too much I'm afraid and also I don't want unintelligable (to me) stroke order/count info I want meanings and sound. Others may find they need this info more but I'm just a very basic kanji learner. |
| Documents | Let me first bemoan my lack of ability to find nice documents - I'll do something about it sometime | |
| Wishlist: C ref, C++ ref, unix ref, Irish info - area codes, Pub/Grub/Todo guides to Dublin/Cork/Limerick, MORE | ||
| Those astronomy and chemistry docs look nice | ||
| And unix/awk/regexp references |
