True Browsing Technology: Unlike the initial solutions for the Palm, which used dedicated servers to present the web page in a special format, iPanel is a true browser with Javascript support. This means that rather than just displaying a web page, you can fully interact with a web page such as travel pages, banking, or stock pages.

Tri-View: Allows you to view the web page in:

* Wrapping mode, which displays web page as a column.
* Actual mode, that allows you to navigate around the web page using the stylus.
* Miniature view that allows you to display the whole web page and quickly zoom in onto a section.

* PDA-ready Content Display: automatically displaying PDA-ready page of an URL if available from the web site.

Efficient Palm user interface including:

* Quick buttons allow easy browsing of the web
* Quick link display that allows you to bookmark your most important web pages with a descriptive icon.
* Easy web page text entry
* History support.
* Ability to save content locally for later use.

If you've been using Opera Mini on your mobile you'll know all about the benefits its brings. If not, you really should be using it. It's the best way to get the most out of your mobile, making surfing the internet fast, secure and easy, plus you can use photo-sharing applications and subscribe to RSS news feeds from your favourite websites or blogs. And now Opera Mini promises to be even better with this new Beta version.

It still has a fast and free internet connection and when you open a webpage Opera Mini will give you a full-screen view and then suggest where to zoom in to begin reading. Of course you can choose yourself if you are looking for something specific. Importantly the software changes the size of the text so you can get as much information on your screen while still being able to read it. This optimization of pages ensures easy reading. You can even flip the screen to landscape mode to get a better view. And you can bookmark in the usual way. One simple feature I liked was the Opera Mini mouse which allows easy scrolling, an addition that many mobile packages are sorely lacking.

I don't know when or where it was invented, but somehow Sudoku has come from nowhere to become one of the most popular ways to while away a bus journey. What's more, you don't even need a puzzle book to play it because there are so many versions of the game available for mobile devices.

Astraware's take on the format is very impressive and is actually one of the most well-executed I've seen anywhere. Obviously the scenario is the same as always - you have a 9 x 9 grid with a series of nine boxes and nine cells. You need to fill up all the cells with the numbers one to nine without repeating a number in any row, column or box.

But what's great about this game is the loving attention that's been given to its presentation. When you first start out, you're given an animated introduction to Sudoku, explaining all the rules in a succinct manner. You can then choose to start a new puzzle from the default ones built into the game, create your own puzzle, or download one from the Astraware site (you'll need to register for the full version to do this).

There are six difficulty levels to choose from, ranging from 'Beginner' to 'Diabolical,' which lets you develop your skills at your own pace. The in-game options are just as impressive. You can add pencilmarks to assist you, get hints, change the display and set the level of assistance.

Graphically, the game is tastefully presented and the board is very clear. There's even a clock and a battery indicator at the top to remind you not to lose track of things in the real world!

All in all, one of the best mobile-based Sudoku games you'll find.

Personally, I tend not to browse the Web too much on my mobile. I find it takes a bit too long to check all the various news sites and information services on the device - time which I don't normally have when I'm on the move.

As a result, I was very interested to try out Pocket Express, an app which assimilates all the latest news and information in one place. All of the information is available easily through the program's ultra-simple main menu. You simply click on one of the nine icons to take you directly to that kind of information (News, Sports, Weather, Finance, Entertainment, Movies, Travel, Horoscopes and access to 24-hour tech support). There's also an 'Extras' section, although this is mainly just advertising for other Handmark products.

The 'News' section in Pocket Express is very well presented, offering you a rundown of the top ten stories, each with a headline and a thumbnail image. You just click on one of these headlines to open it up and read it. You can change the category of news using the icons at the bottom of the menu. The only thing is, the news is very U.S-centric, which might annoy you if you don't live there (there is a World News section, though). It's also worth bearing in mind that most of the stories come via the Associated Press. Although this is a very credible news organization, it by no means presents the whole picture in terms of current World events.

Besides its news section, Pocket Express has some other very useful functions, which are again available with just a single click from the main menu. For instance, you can check the weather in your current location or anywhere else in the world, view the hottest stocks through the 'Finance' section, and even see show times at your local cinema. I particularly like the 'Travel' feature, where you can view routes and schedules for flights across the globe.

One of the few criticisms I have about Pocket Express is that it has a heavy focus on America - not just in its news and sports coverage but also in the fact that some features, such as the movie show times will not work outside the USA.

On the whole though, Pocket Express presents an exceptionally quick and easy way of filling yourself in on the events of the day.

They say that when in Rome you should always do as the Romans do. Well, I'm not sure PDAs were around in Roman times but if they were them I'm sure Caesar, Nero et al would have the Rome DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide & Map installed on their mobile device.

Based on the popular Dorling Kindersley Top Ten travel series, this guide to the Italian capital is presented in an interesting and enlightening manner. Split into different sections, such as Highlights, Around Town, Streetsmart and Top Ten, the guide dishes up lots of facts and advice in a different style to the those stuffy old guidebooks.

The Top Ten section is my personal favorite because it helps you prioritize places of interest, meaning that if you're on a tight schedule you can make sure you see only the best squares, churches, museums, etc.

Getting around Rome is made much easier thanks to the inclusion of zoomable road maps, bus routes and Metro stations. There's even a map of the area surrounding the city in case you want to explore a bit further afield.

Although the main interface is a little bland, the inclusion of a searchable index means that it's pretty easy to find your way around this guide.

And likewise, this DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel guide makes it pretty easy to find your way around the best sights of Rome.

Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe but if you want to discover it properly you should really think about getting a guide.

However, with so many gadgets and gizmos to carry around on trips these days it's best to avoid carrying around excess baggage like books and maps. Instead, why not install a travel guide on your PDA to save valuable pocket space?

This Palm guide to Prague is based around the popular Dorling Kidersley Top 10 series of guide books, and manages to pack in lots of information about the Czech city. What I like about it is that it doesn't just reel off the same old stuff about all the tourist attractions and instead presents things in a more interesting way. For instance, you get tips on the best times to visit places, and a huge series of top tens featuring everything from the top ten things to see in Wenceslas Square to the top ten Czech filmmakers.

You also get a whole raft of maps, including a street index, transport map and metro map. Be sure to check the transport prices when you get there though, as the info in the guide may be out of date.

The Prague DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide & Map is an imaginatively presented and informative guide to this great city.

These days we all have multiple passwords that we use for different accounts, sites and services. In fact, if you use just one password for everything, you're risking a heavy loss if anyone finds out.

Step forward TurboPasswords, an application that allows you to take charge of all your secret codes on your Palm device.

TurboPasswords uses powerful 128-bit Blowfish encryption to ensure that it's pretty darn difficult for anyone to hack your passwords.

It's tightly integrated with IE and Firefox, although if you're using Opera or Safari you don't get as much control.

RSS feeds have revolutionised the way news is published and read. The easy to use syndication system has made it easier than ever to read your news wherever you like - especially on the move. With SplashNews, you can download the latest content from your favourite news site or blog in seconds, from anywhere.

The design of the application is simple and clean and it's pretty easy to open the preset feeds or add your own to the index. We had a couple of problems getting SplashNews to sync at first but once it's up and running, it performs fairly well. The program is ad-supported freeware, much like Google Reader, which is arguably a better alternative if you can be online all the time.

We enjoyed SplashNews's ease of use and simple design but would recommend trying some online services: they can be even better, and take up less room on your PDA.

Note Studio is a unique application for the Palm OS that allows you to create a Wiki on your handheld. For the uninitiated, a Wiki is something like a web site - a set of pages with links that allow for one-click (or tap) navigation between related items.

Each Note Studio file is a "book". Books, naturally enough, contain pages. You can create links between pages within a book or to another book, providing a powerful means of cross referencing information as you assemble it. Books can be imported (the Note Studio site offers both the Windows Help file and guided tour as samples) and exported. The import/export file format is straightforward XML. You can also export clean HTML code to post to a web site.

Pocket Rocket is an altitude simulation program based on the classic 'Rasp' program by G. Harry Stine. The main reason for Pocket Rocket is to give you information in the field when you really need it. Desktop simulators are nice but you need a really long extension cord or a laptop. Pocket Rocket allows you to carry a relatively cheap computer to the launch site and still get some basic information for a given rocket/motor combination. I like to think of it as more of a delay picker than altitude prediction program. Standing out in the desert is not a good time to ask 'Hmm. What's this i211 with a short delay gonna do in this Fat Boy?' (the correct answer is more than likely: shred). Common sense is sometimes in short supply at 110 in the shade. Hopefully Pocket Rocket can help you avoid some unpleasantness. Pocket Rocket is being distributed as is, for free to the rocket community because as G. Harry Stine said, 'Don't pay back, pay forward'.

This awesome free focket application includes the following features:

• Some Pocket Rocket Features Input rockets using english or metric units
• Input motors with any number of points using data from manufacturers or thrustrcurve.org
• View graphs of the thrust curves and edit as you like
• Output in english or metric units
• Graph's altitude, velocity and acceleration profiles
• Summary page for the big numbers, detailed numbers for the flight on another page
• Beam airframes and motors to other people using Pocket Rocket
• Limited only by available memory
• Hours of fun
