We're always being told that Palm is now pretty much a dead platform but if you're still using one of these devices you needn't worry too much that you're falling behind the times because there are plenty of ways to customize your handset to freshen it up a bit.

TouchLauncher provides you with the power to transform your Palm to resemble something far more modern and cutting-edge, namely, the iPhone. In order to start skinning your OS you'll need to install the application file and the iFone icon set, both of which come bundled together in the same Zip.

Before you launch the app you get the chance to scan the memory of your PDA in order to automatically add icons of applications into TouchLauncher and remove deleted applications from the program. Once you finally get the program running you'll be staggered by the quality of icons in this pack, which are remarkable faithful to the Apple device. In fact, it left me wondering how Steve Jobs would react if he clapped eyes on TouchLauncher (no doubt a phone call to his lawyer would be foremost in his mind.)

The software is highly customizable and you can not only select icons for individual for each each of your installed applications from your icon sets, but also to categorize and change the name that appears underneath each utility of icon. Make sure you have plenty of RAM allocated on your device though, because TouchLauncher is a bit of a memory-hogger.

If you're fed up with your mates mocking your Palm then TouchLauncher provides a great way to turn their sneers into gasps.

ZLauncher is one of a wide range of launcher applications, designed to help you manage your Palm PDA and launch its applications from a simpler and more user friendly interface. What makes ZLauncher special in its class is the variety of extra tools and features it brings to your Palm’s desktop.

The first feature to really impress in ZLauncher is its ability to launch programs from a storage card. This function allows you to move your applications to an external card and run them from there, even if they were originally installed to your device’s built-in memory. The logic of moving and running applications in this way is that by freeing up space on your Palm’s internal memory, you have more RAM free, thus helping your programs run faster and more efficiently.

The file explorer aspect of ZLauncher is a massive improvement on the native Palm file manager, providing features such as ‘tabbed’ browsing (allowing you to view multiple storage devices or folders in one window), and the ‘detail’ view mode which is reminiscent of Windows Explorer’s ‘details’ option and displays data on your files (size, date modified etc) alongside the filenames.. The addition of the Trash Bin (very similar to the Windows Recycle Bin) is a welcome improvement, as is ZLauncher’s ability to delete entire folder trees, an option curiously absent from some other launcher applications.

ZLauncher includes a themes option, allowing you to skin the program interface, customise icon sets and set pretty much any image as your device’s wallpaper. After changing icon sets, however, we noted a marked increase in ZLauncher’s memory consumption as well as various issues with icons appearing and disappearing. While the customization feature is a good idea, it seems that by using it you significantly increase the load on your Palm device. This is a shame but at the end of the day, themes and icons aren’t deal breakers in an application specifically designed to help you launch applications and manage your files.

In all, ZLauncher adds some seriously useful functions to your Palm’s desktop. While its memory load and customization options need some improvement, ZLauncher’s core features make it the best all round choice in its class.

We'd all love to have an iPhone but unfortunately not all of us have the cash to stump up for one. Don't worry though, because if you've got a Palm device you can at least pretend to have one of Apple's great inventions.

You might think that the Palm OS is a little antiquated now and to some degree you'd be right, but using iPhoneImitation you can disguise that fact with an interface that is remarkably true to Apple's new wonder device.

Once installed, the program embeds itself on your device and can be launched with an icon. The alternative Startup screen looks very similar to the iPhone, with some lovely animation. In fact all of the menu items are animated with a series of plush icons that replace the rather drab default Palm ones.

Another added bonus in this software package is the Pocket Tunes skin that adds iPod Touch-style control buttons to the MP3 player. It all looks very nice, but be warned that it does have a tendancy to drain battery power so I'd be wary about setting the program as your default launcher.

Nevertheless, this software provides a realistic simulation of the iPhone on your Palm.

Finding your way around your Palm is a difficult business at the best of times but when you find yourself several windows away from a main menu page it can become difficult to navigate to where you want to go and to return. There are a few solutions to this including quick links from your desktop but another is Butterfly Themes.

As you might expect the software involves a range of different colours - ten of them. Butterfly Themes allows you to attach each of these colours, which cover the background, windows and text to different zones of your phone eg messages, addresses, contacts etc. So you know by the colour of each window exactly which area of your phone you are in. It's quick and easy to assign themes but Butterfly Themes doesn't offer the prettiest of pallettes.
