Background sending. Background receiving. Very customizable, but worked well out of the box.

I send email from my treo all the time. Versamail (the built-in treo email software) makes you watch its silly dialog box every time you send an email. If there was a problem (say you're underground in the parking garage) you have to figure out how to resend it later. At that point, I might as well hop on my pony and deliver the message myself. Chatter just seems to do what's right. As soon as you press "send", you can switch out of chattermail and look at your calendar or make a phone call. Chatter will get it done in the background. If it runs into a truly insurmountable problem, it'll pop up an alert.

Chatter is so blackberry-cool, I've even started reading email on my treo, occasionally. Needless to say, all that background goodness for sending messages applies to receiving messages as well. And more.

DateBk6

2 people recommended this item

Description

i don't know how anyone who has a PalmOS device (treo or zire, etc) lives without this one - i'd never go back to the bundled calendar that Palm Inc. sends with the device. DateBk6 is powerful and easy to use - so many options that allow you to personalize your calendar to fit the way you need to use it. I use the "float" option for things that i need to do that aren't date specific, etc. Well worth the money and worth checking out. It makes keeping up with my schedule an easy task instead of a frustrating one. (via joe)

The treo's built-in calendar isn't powerful enough. Datebook5 is. It is a little slow to launch on my treo 650, but it's worth the wait for floating events, recurring events, todos shown on the same screen with my calendar, time zone awareness, small fonts, template events, and more.

Globalsat BT-338 Bluetooth GPS Receiver

2 people recommended this item

Description

This little puppy works well. It takes up to 1 minute to acquire enough satellites to fix its location, so the TomTom software on my treo doesn't even acknowledge its existence until the green light starts flashing. But then it works like a champ. It has a long battery life and seems to be quite accurate in its location readings.

After about six months, mine developed a problem with its power switch, but I used their web interface to fill out a problem report, got a timely response from their support engineer, and US Globalsat sent me a replacement within days.

Freeware Palm: KB Repeat Rate v1.2.0

First to recommend

Description

Imagine the hours you'll save, over the course of your life, if your treo's 5-way scroller, "backspace" key, and all the rest repeat fast enough to keep up with your brain.

I recommend an auto-repeat rate of 1ms.

PalmaryClock

First to recommend

Description

This is the most featureful treo clock app I've ever seen. It includes a calendar, alarms, timers, stopwatch functionality, world time display, moon phase, and more. The "wireless edition" includes the weather and currency exchange rates. Currency exchange rates? Do you need this from your clock? For a $7 premium ($20 total), why not?

Plus, their web site offers numerous skins that you can customize with your own background pictures.
