Hi,

Here is my selection below. They are freeware unless specified
otherwise with [Com](for commercial) :

CCLite :
MSN client
Yanoff :
news reader (old freeware version)
TCPMP :
Multimedia viewer : movies, images, music
GoogleMaps :
Maps on the go
HardReset & Softreset :
two softwares to issue the resets without
removing the Treo's battery.
FileZ :
Browse your Palm content, manage files & folders
UniCMD :
same as above, with a different look&feel & more
KeyGTime+ :
alternate lock screen
SiEd :
a real Text Editor on Palm
CardExport [Com]:
Use your Palm as a SD card reader/writer.
Additionnaly, allow the Treo's battery to charge even without
installing the Palm drivers on the computer (It's a shame
Palm does not provide these with PalmOS)
NVBackup :
does backups on SD cards.
IrOff :
keep your infrared device off to save battery.
OnOff Control :
manage the way your Palm stays on or switches off.
OperaMini :
not so nice, not so stable, but can be better than
the default Palm web browser (again : Why Palm did not put
NetFront web browser on Treo's PalmOS ?)
NetFront [sort of Com] :
THE BEST WEB BROWSER ON PalmOS. Unfortunately avaiable
only on Sony Clie. Once you've tried it, you miss it if
you don't have a Clie... (some people found a way to have
it running on T5, TC, TX...)
UDMH [Com] :
defrag Palm's memory
PalmPDF :
View PDF document as is (usefull when received by email)
SmbMate :
connect to Windows shared folders.

Also, but not killer's app but I like those anyway (all are commercials):
- TomTom GPS/Mapping
- NoviiRemote (Universal IR remote control)

Enjoy,

Charly

I don't miss graffiti, that's why I was using T|C and now Treo 680.

But...I am missing very much a program like Notepad. Where has it gone?

It is much faster to make a draft (paint) incl. hints about size, weight
etc. instead of typing anything by caps.

Someone using anything like Notepad?

Besides Contacts, Calendar, and Memos (why did they change the name from
Notepad??), I swear by...

CoPilot (free)
(weight and balance, and other stuff for flying)
....and...
Docs To Go (free with my Palm)
(word and Excel, and finally let me transfer text from the palm
to/from any other computer via SD cards, albeit the long way)

RealOne (free with my Palm)
(I don't really like it, but I have my landline voicemail forwarded
to Email as an attachment when I travel, and this lets me take the
message with me, via SD cards)

I miss:

Diddle (worked with Palm VIIx, not with the Tungsten E)

I find the following utterly useless:

Expense (came with)

any internet connection software (Tungsten E doesn't do WiFi and won't
accept a WiFi card and Palm won't say why or fix it - I just have to
throw it away and buy a new PDA if I want that)

The following is promising but not flexible enough:
MobileDB (came with)
I'd like to set up a database where for any field I can select =any
number= of menu items. MobileDB only lets you pick one. (I'd use it
for a wine notebook)
