From: martin_pentreath on 16 Jan 2008 14:48 Hi, just been looking for a "killer apps" thread in the archives, but I don't think it's been done for a while. So what can people currently not live without? My only essentials on my aging Tungsten E2 are Datebk5 from Pimlico for diary purposes, Ultrasoft Money which I sync with Microsoft Money on my desktop and which enables to track all my expenditure, and Natara Bonsai which I use to manage a hierarchical to-do list (based on David Allen's "Getting Things Done" principles).

Agree with Datebk5, haven't used the others you mention. I would add the following: BackupMan (I don't hotsync anymore) FileMan TealScript BDicty Checkbook - free DocsToGo McPhling MathU Pro - best calculator, period PalmPDF - free, far outperms DTG WordComplete or TextPlus Yaps - free World Clock -- Regards, Doug -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Programs I couldn't live without on my Treo (well, OK, I guess I could but I would miss them badly) : - mobileClock (ex Bob's Alarm) : multi-alarm clock (with custom sounds)/ stopwatch / timer. I use it several times a day for recurrent events (wake up, kids to get at school...), and most of all the very convenient popup clock (available from any application and when the Palm is off, missing feature of standard Treo). - MonthPlanner, very neat alternative to the regular (and somewhat boring) agenda, with colors and icons -- seems rather hard to find now - RPN (my best calc despite a rather dull interface) Indispensable system utilities : - BackupMan (needless to say...) - McPhling (switching between applications and quick launching of recent/favourites apps) Tr�o specific : - CallRec (one key recording on the fly) - Butler (visual notification of missed calls or events) Other nice apps I don't use everyday but most useful all the same : - HandyShopper (shopping lists and more, very convenient and well designed) - iSilo (eBooks and converted web pages) - Ultralingua (five dictionaries at hand...)

OK, if we open this up to the Treo then I would omit Tealscript (does anyone really use graffiti style input when a thumb board is available ?): Accessorizer - allows one to switch to another program without quitting the program you're in. Like looking up a password while in a web browser. Keycaps LudusP - a way to make the green button useful Opera Mini - It is a great web browser Yanoff v1.5.4 - a newsreader app for the Palm. I'm using it now. Warning, I could not figure out how to set up any other version than this one. Pennovate Notes - far more useful than Bugme IMHO Regards, Doug -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
