PXA Clocker was debuted in August 2003 as proof of concept application to demonstrate how to change system frequencies for PXA-based devices. It was the first clock management application for Intel PXA processors. PXA Clocker 1.0 worked with Sony Clie devices. A couple of months later we added support for Palm Tungsten platform. Again, before anyone else. Later we added support for PXA270 processors. Guess what? We did it first again!

PXA Clocker allows you to either increase system frequency (up to 230% on some models), boosting performance of complex applications or decrease system frequency to a minimum available setting of 100MHz, allowing you to preserve precious battery power.

Additionally, PXA Clocker has an ability to turn off clock frequencies for unused peripherals, which also extends battery life.

All settings can be changed either globally or per-application. PXA Clocker includes support for applications on memory cards, and for shortcut management applications, such as PowerRun.

If only I'd had DeluxeWare Weather installed on my Palm. This smart application can download weather forecasts and display up-to-the-minute weather information on your PDA, meaning you never have to get caught short (or in your shorts) again.

You'll need a Net connection on your Palm, of course, but as long as you're connected it's pretty simple to set up the software and you get all sorts of options for choosing which area or World city you're in, what type of information you want to view, and how the weather is likely to change in the next few days.

What I liked about DeluxeWare Weather was the excellent way the forecasts are presented. The app makes great use of graphics to indicate sun, rain, snow, clouds etc. and there's even a wind gauge that shows you which direction it's blowing in. The program provides comprehensive weather information, including everything from the sun's UV index to dew point, humidity and visibility. I missed the inclusion of a pollen count meter though.

One of the few bad things about Weather is that the range of cities you can choose from is pretty limited and you may end up having to select one that's hundreds of miles away from where you actually are.

On the whole though, this is a comprehensive weather information provider that delivers complete forecasts to you wherever you go.

Likewise the 'Party' mode isn't particularly useful for anything, except for enducing headaches. This time, the screen flashes a series of different colours then lots of different coloured lines cross each other in a psychedelic fashion.

Beware though, because leave it on too long and it will quickly suck up your battery.
