In The Palm of My Hand
I'm currently running a Palm Treo 650 smartphone with Treo 650 Updater 1.20 and Palm Desktop 4.1.4. My old Palm Vx with Palm OS 3.5.3 and Palm Tungsten T with Palm OS 5 has gone to pension.
I buy my Palm from IdeData
My experience with buying from IdeData is very good. They deliver quickly and have a very responsive and knowledgeable support.
Some "must have" for my Treo 650
Below is a list of some very nice software for the Palm OS. The stuff I have on board is marked with (X). I also have the Freedom keyboard.
