The ladies often describe me as a 'Power Hero' but even I'm not able to conserve the battery of a Palm device. This little application can though, and does so with much aplomb. It does this by providing you with several options such as the ability to change the state of all the wireless resources on your device (telephone, TO GO, Bluetooth or WiFi).

You can also turn to Power Hero to automate the changing of your profile screen at certain times of the day or to auto-shutdown your Palm after a specified period of inactivity, both of which can help preserve your battery life. Of course, you could perform all these changes manually, but Power Hero lets you alter everything from one place, making it ideal for anyone who gets annoyed by running out of power all the time.

<![CDATA[ Reset Doctor 1.94 - Protect your PDA from crashes ]]> http://reset-doctor.en.softonic.com/palm

Reset Doctor reduces crashes, helps you track down buggy applications and most importantly, saves your preferences when they are inexplicably destroyed during resets. This means you won't miss alarms, lost settings or have to re-enter your registration codes.

There is a nasty bug in the operating system of Palm Devices with the new Non-Volatile-Filing-System (NVFS). It means that sometimes after a reset, you will lose all your settings and preferences.

Reset Doctor saves them! This means that your Alarms will still sound, your Registration codes will still work and your application preferences are safe.

If you've ever lost your preferences, you'll know how frustrating it can be. Not only do you have to restore your settings, but you can miss important alarms.

Reset Doctor in the background - it will keep your preferences backed up, and even allow you to restore them a couple of times for free should you ever need to!

Other applications need their preferences to set alarms, to know you have registered and to function normally. Reset Doctor restores the preferences during the reset. This means that other applications get their preferences and can do their jobs, so you don't miss anything important!

New Palm devices use a special memory area called the cache to actually run applications. When that gets full, the operating system is supposed to clear it out. Unfortunately, that sometimes causes crashes with applications that are accessing the data in the cache.

Reset Doctor lets you manage your cache so that there is always a set amount of cache free when an application runs. That should help applications to run smoothly and crash less.

Reset Doctor also helps you to force the cache clear more often, or on demand. This will help you when you are trying to track down applications that are crashing in the background because they don't 'understand' the cache. It also links to full instructions that will help you track down applications that are causing problems so you can either disable them, or use another application to fix them.

<![CDATA[ Resco Locker 1.30.2 - Keep applications locked in memory on your NVFS system ]]> http://resco-locker.en.softonic.com/palm

NVFS brought changes to the Palm OS programming and not all applications reflected them. (Those that were last time updated prior to NVFS release, could not.) One of the most frequent problems is that the Palm databases are no longer fixed. That's exactly the problem that is targeted by Resco Locker. For more detailed explanation of the NVFS specifics see please the discussion on the Resco Backup product page.

As a side effect, applications locked in memory need less time to load, which in turn may increase the performance of your handheld.

With so much of our work and home activities based around our PC, it often feels that you're chained to the desk 24/7. Sometimes even while you're out and about you're probably itching to get home and check your emails or finish that Word document. Thanks to Remote Desktop for Mobiles you don't have to worry because the program lets you access your Windows desktop from wherever you are.

Basically, RDM + Remote Desktop can activate a new channel of communication between the two systems. In this way, you can interact with the Windows desktop, from your PDA starting or stopping services, viewing system resources, restarting or shutting down the machine remotely, among other possibilities.

To enable the connection, the program uses a BES meeting, BIS, TCP / IP or http. It supports password access, includes a system of encryption to protect transfers and has a number of options for rapid mapping functions on the keys of your device.

This software doesn't give you access to all the apps on your computer but ultimately, if you want to control the basic functions of your PC from your PDA, RDM + Remote Desktop is a sound choice.

<![CDATA[ RMRFuel 1.3 - Monitor the fuel consumption of your vehicles ]]> http://rmrfuel.en.softonic.com/palm

With fuel costs rising all the time, perhaps it's time you started monitoring your vehicle's petrol or diesel consumption more closely.

RMRFuel is an application for Palm that lets you manage the fuel consumption of up to 10 different vehicles. The program is designed to record the amount you pay at the pump, cost per gallon/liter, distance covered, and fuel consumption to help you analyze exactly how much your spending out on your vehicle or vehicles.

It's pretty easy to set up RMRFuel. You start by entering the make and model of your car, along with licence plate details, and initial mileage. Once this information is all recorded you can start tracking your fuel consumption. An icon at the foot of the interface allows you to enter data about the cost of the fuel in your own currency and in liters or gallons.

The good thing about RMRFuel is that is supports up to 10 vehicles, so if you have a whole fleet you can use it to analyze and compare fuel consumption among all of them through the graphs and charts you can generate. The program boasts a few other neat features such as a reminder for when your oil needs changing, plus the ability to export your data for viewing elsewhere.

On the downside, the user interface isn't particularly well designed and feels too cluttered, especially if you have lots of vehicles in the database. It also lacks the searching and sorting capabilities that would have transformed RMRFuel from an average utility to a good one.

Nevertheless, if you have to manage a large group of vehicles and have a Palm it's worth downloading RMRFuel to help you monitor fuel consumption.

<![CDATA[ Revival 3.1.0 - Military strategy game in the style of Civilization ]]> http://revival.en.softonic.com/palm

If you're a budding megalomaniac then chances are you've enjoyed playing classic strategy games like Civilization and Populus in the past. Times have moved on though, and it's now possible to play God while you're sat on the train.

Revival is the latest creation from legendary developer Herocraft, charging you with the task of exploring seven planets and 27 continents with one main objective - to conquer them. There are two game modes to choose from. The wimpish 'Single' game, where you start with a home city already built for you, or the tougher 'Campaign' where you literally start with nothing and must build up schools, homes and protection for your community.

Along the way, you'll need to develop your citizens and build them from a bunch of simple archers to a bunch of tooled-up fighting machines. Of course, things are not that easy, and you'll constantly find yourself having to battle invading tribes hell-bent on destroying you. Thanks to some impressive AI, this is no mean feat, as your opponent's armies are aware of your strengths and weaknesses.

The graphics are small but wonderfully detailed and the soundtrack to the game sets the mood perfectly, changing style depending on whether you're building, fighting or training. I found the menu system a little confusing and at first you'll struggle to know exactly what you're doing as you try to suss out the controls though. As a result, I found Revival difficult to get into, yet with a bit of persistence you get the hang of the way it works, and start to relish the prospect of battle.

If you're a fan of God games and if you have the patience, Revival makes for a great download for your Palm device.

<![CDATA[ Outcast 1.1 - Group shapes together in this intelligent puzzle game ]]> http://outcast.en.softonic.com/palm

Palms are great for playing puzzle games, and I've lost count of the number of trains, business meetings or dates I've missed through being immersed in some riddle or other.

Outcast is the latest brain-bender I've tried and it's definitely got a high distraction factor. The object of the game is to organize the different patterns into groups. You need to start by moving one piece away from the edge and then filling the space with another piece that matches one of those around it. You keep doing this until you've grouped as many pieces together as you can.

There are certain rules you need to abide by when moving people and these are all outlined in the Help section. It will probably take you about three or four reads to understand it completely, as it's not written in a very clear manner.

Once you get going you'll find it hard to stop playing such is the addictive nature of this one. It's surprisingly difficult to master and I defy you to complete all the groupings - I certainly haven't! Even if you do then there are three different grouping set-ups you can try.

It might not be much to look at, but Outcast is certainly one of the more engrossing and original puzzle games out there.

There are plenty of list managers around so, to be good, new software packages need to offer either something very different or lots and lots of options. ListPro has always offered both of these things but now it has some great additions. Firstly the new formatting options make it easy to arrange all your plans exactly as you want including with bullet points and numbers. You can also now quickly access websites if you need to get some more information.

One of the best features is the 25 new templates that are provided to get things done extra quickly so you don't have to start from scratch the whole time. This can prove a bit disappointing as they are not always exactly how you want them, but in terms of getting lists finished quickly they are a great addition. Also you can now share your lists with other users which is a great idea in theory and especially helpful for 'favourites' lists with subjects like music etc.

I don't know about you, but the pressure to reply quickly to every text message I receive can sometimes overcome me. I know some people who get angry with me if I don't get back to them within 2 minutes of sending their message, and this drives me crazy. Step forward SMS Machine, a wonderful application that can respond to messages and calls automatically.

This makes it ideal for letting people know when you're unavailable because you're in a meeting, a library or a cinema, without disturbing the people around you.

The great thing about this program is that it's so customisable thanks to it's rule-based method of operation. Hence, you can set it to allow calls from certain numbers, schedule messages by time and date, and filter numbers that should be watched out for.

If you hate having to interrupt your activities dealing with incoming calls or messages, SMS Machine provides the perfect way to delay the need to respond.

<![CDATA[ SMS Commander 1.08 Beta - Take control of your palm with a text message ]]> http://sms-commander.en.softonic.com/palm

OK, so first things first, this software could get you in a lot of trouble. Excited? It's a controversial application because it allows you to monitor the activity of any other Treo - that means read text messages, search contacts, modify passwords, check battery and lock the phone. So if you've lost your PDA or you don't want to carry two phones it's extremely useful. And if you want to spy on family and friends it's equally good, and possibly illegal in your country.

Install SMS Commander on the mobile you want to control and send a text from another phone with the activation password and first order. Be careful, failure to follow the installation instructions could lead to improper operations of the application. There is also a free Radio ON/OFF application when you register SMS Commander. The default password is 00000. We recommend you change this immediately. Spies need uncrackable codes. Maybe try your birthday.
