These are things
that are my current favorites associated with my palmOne Zire 72:
- RhinoSkin
Case - The first purchase I made for my Zire 72 was a RhinoSkin
aircraft-grade aluminum case. This is the first RhinoSkin case
I've had, and it's definitely the best case I've ever had for any of my
PDAs. First of all it's *tough*. It's not like the
palmOne hard case that I had for my Tungsten T, which was basically a
plastic case with a small layer of metal covering. The palmOne
hard case felt plastic and sometimes flimsy. If I dropped the
T|T, it would frequently pop out of the case. Not so with the
RhinoSkin case. The RhinoSkin case feels solid and it snaps tight
when it closes. It also has cutouts for access to everything on
the Zire 72. It has a cutout on the bottom so that you can charge
or HotSync without taking the Zire 72 out of the case. It has a
cutout on the side so that you have access to the voice recorder
button. Lastly, the top is open, so you have access to he SD card
slot, the power button, the headphone port, and the stylus. As a
nice touch, the lid has a lip that covers the top of the Zire 72 when
the lid is closed. This means that if the lid is snapped shut and
you drop it, the Zire 72 won't pop out the top of the case. The
RhinoSkin case is the perfect companion to trust with your Zire 72 (or
any other model you might have). Did I mention it's *TOUGH*?!?
- WordBoXtreme
by Twin Feats - This is one of my all-time favorite
games. It's similar to Boggle in that you are presented with a
square of letters, and you have to make words from the letters (make
sure the letters touch one another!). There is an older freeware
version of this game just called WordBox that you can get at the
website, but I'm not sure if it works on all of the new OS5
machines. I would recommend the Xtreme version over the freeware
version anyway, if for no other reason than the "Rotate" feature which
rotates the box 45 degrees. You'd be surprised how many words you
suddenly see!
- Sunrise/Plucker
- For those of you who don't know what Plucker is, it allows you to
take the web with you in your PalmOS PDA! Sunrise is the desktop
program that plucks & converts the web pages. Plucker Viewer
is the program on your PDA that reads the files.
- VersaMail
- I am downloading my important e-mail into VersaMail through the
Bluetooth connection with my computer!
More to come.... !
