While
the Treo's built in preferences application lets you assign different
applications to the four applications buttons on your Treo, it offers no other
configuration options. Third party tools to the rescue!
Buttons-T from Mindgear (Free) lets you assign an application to the opt+app buttons (that is, holding down the blue option key while pressing an
application button). You can also change the app launched when powering on by
opening the lid or pressing the jog key. This preference panel was written at
Handspring by a member of the Treo software development team.
TreoButton
from YAMADA Tatsushi (also Free) offers the same functionality.
PowerJOG ($15.00)
lets you use your Jog Dial like never before. By pressing the Jog Dial button,
you open a pop up list from which you can push dialog window's button, go to
home, power off, push screen button, launch an application, and much more.
TiggleToggle Lite from Geekware Solutions (Free) let's you switch between
the SMS and Memo Pad applications with the press of a button. No more exiting
from SMS to start Memo Pad or looking for Memo Pad in the main category.
