Palm OS Updated:

Agendus for Palm OS Professional Edition

iambic, Inc. has updated its already great Agendus for Palm OS Professional Edition to version 13.0.1!

The New Agendus 13: Accelerating Activity-Related Information Flow So You Get More Done today, tomorrow and beyond!
Your everyday life is anything but ordinary. It’s dynamic. It has its share of chaotic moments. And no matter how much you try to plan ahead, demands on your time never seem to let up. Keeping all those plates spinning and communication flowing, especially while on the go, can be quite the challenge. Though seemingly daunting, all this (and more!) is what Agendus, our award-winning personal information manager (PIM) was born to address.

And now, with the release of Version 13, Agendus has become even more finely tuned to accelerate activity-related information flow in a way that makes sense intuitively, can be tailored to meet your particular needs and is fun to use!

Seamless Integration – Agendus Automatically Connects the Dots.

What made the Agendus such a favorite since Day 1 is how it works seamlessly with the native Palm OS database. There are no plug-ins required and you can be up and running quickly with no duplication of effort.
Furthermore, the Agendus PIM functions (Contacts, Meetings, Tasks, Memos, etc.) are tightly integrated and feed into each other. This is what really makes Agendus a powerful personal productivity assistant.
By building the interrelatedness of the various functions into the program, Agendus is able to provide you with useful features like detailed contact histories, personal project management, journaling, and the ability to attach Contacts and files (PDFs, images and documents) to Calls, Tasks, Meetings and more.

Your pick.

Agendus is available in 3 different editions, to better match your specific needs: Premier, Professional and Standard. To learn more about what makes each edition unique, visit the Features Comparison page.
Ready to buy? Make your pick in the purchase page.

An Intuitive Design that’s Easy to Use and Adaptable.
Agendus has an intuitive interface and a multitude of customization options, so you can easily set it up to look (and work) the way you want. There are numerous views to choose from. You can add colors, icons and photos. You can also crop photos and edit icons from within Agendus.

New for you! There are over a dozen major new features in Version 13, including timesavers like "Smart Agenda" for creating Tasks, Meetings and Memos on-the-fly, and fully editable Meeting and Task templates!

It now provides a better snapshot of what’s going on that includes Contacts, Meetings, Tasks so you get a more complete picture!

With Agendus Version 13, those who carry a Palm Centro or Treo can get more done before, during and after the activities that drive their day.

We invite you to test drive Agendus for Palm OS, Version 13 today!

OperaFrontEnd

MetaViewSoft has updated its OperaFrontEnd to version 1.3!

Are you using Opera Mini on your Palm, Treo or Centro? Then OperaFrontEnd will change your experience with Opera Mini! Ever thought about making it to the default browser? Ever tried to get rid of Blazer? Ever wanted to have links open in Opera Mini right away from your Email App? Well, OperaFrontEnd does all this!

Some remarks:

  • keyboard only pops up if you in the big text entry field (select ‘enter special chars’ in Opera Mini by using up/down in a single line text entry field)
  • sharing the CreatorID with Blazer means you don’t see Blazer (Web) in some custom application launchers anymore. You have access to it from OperaFrontEnd. If you deinstall OperaFrontEnd you will loose history and bookmarks if you delete OperaFrontEnd using the standard launcher’s remove command. To remove it I recommend a file browser (FileZ, FileProg or RescoExplorer).
  • if you still find an application which still opens Blazer (Web) instead of Opera Mini, try to rename the OperaFrontEnd application file on your device (using a file browser) into ‘Blazer’.
  • Works even with ChatterMail: Install OperaFrontEnd on your device, use a file browser (FileProg, FileZ, RescoExplorer etc.) to rename the OperaFrontEnd database into Blazer, that's it. Now when you open a link from inside ChatterMail OperaFrontEnd will let you chose between Blazer or Opera Mini.

Features:

  • adds itself to the helper library as handler for web URLs
  • sets itself as default application for web URLs
  • offers a GoTo-API similar to Blazer’s ones
  • shares the same CreatorID as Blazer to even fool the dumbest apps (about the drawbacks read below)
  • launches Opera Mini and passes URLs it receives into it (which doesn’t work for URLs containing questionmark signs ‘?’)
  • stores URLs also into the clipboard
  • allows access to the on-screen keyboard on smartphone devices using ‘Shift’ 'Menu’ (you can define the ‘ron-a-matic stroke‘ to display the keyboard on graffiti devices: prefs->buttons->more)
  • using the on-screen keyboard you have access to the clipboard and can finally also paste URLs with questionmarks
  • Works even with ChatterMail: Install OperaFrontEnd on your device, use a file browser (FileProg, FileZ, RescoExplorer etc.) to rename the OperaFrontEnd database into Blazer, that's it. Now when you open a link from inside ChatterMail OperaFrontEnd will let you chose between Blazer or Opera Mini.

I, for one, have come to nearly despise Blazer! I love using the Opera browser for my desktop, because it is a SUPER fast, efficient browser - so I'd imagine that using Opera Mini in conjunction with OperaFrontEnd would make a GREAT combination!

Pocket DVD Wizard

The Coding Workshop Limited had updated its Pocket DVD Wizard to version 5.33!

With Pocket DVD Wizard, you can convert your DVDs and video files so you can watch them any of the following devices:

    Palm OS device Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) Apple iPod Video & iPhone Microsoft Zune Blackberry devices Windows Mobile Pocket PC Portable Media Center Gizmondo Windows Smartphone Windows CE device Archos Media Player Cell/Mobile Phones Creative Zen Vision, Vision:W and Vision:M Epson P-2000 / P-4000 Disney MixMax & Nick Npower Fusion Kodak picture frames and more....

The new Pocket DVD Wizard v5 is even faster than before with superb high quality output, tried and tested support for more devices than ever and of course, the fantastic, easy to use Wizard interface. The price for the Pocket DVD Wizard has remained as low as ever - just $ 24.95 (no discount codes required!)

All the conversion and file handling is done using the speed and power of your main Windows PC giving both fantastic still frames and fast action video quality, while saving you time and money. The software is designed to be very easy to use and requires no additional 'playback' software to be purchased for your Pocket PC or other handheld device. The Pocket DVD Wizard software uses advanced compression techniques to fit a whole DVD on a memory card the size of a postage stamp. You can then play back the resulting movie file using the standard Windows Media Player already installed on your Pocket PC.

No more 'black bars'
The Pocket DVD Wizard gives you the choice when converting wide screen video. You can choose to retain the original format, and have 'black bars' on the top and bottom of the video output, or use 'pan and scan' to remove the bars and use the full screen area on your Pocket PC.

Target your memory card size
From 128mb through to 1Gb , you can select your target card size. The Pocket DVD Wizard is not restricted to fixed memory card sizes, you specify the memory card size you have (or how much space you want to use) and the software makes the adjustments needed to give you the best conversion possible, whilst targeting your specified output size.

Specify start and stop times
If you have a clip you want to convert, you can do just that. Specify the start and stop times and the Pocket DVD Wizard will create a video file from that part of your DVD or video file.

High quality conversion
The quality of the conversion is very high in all modes, but it can be set to three different levels, depending on how much time you have to convert the file.
You can also select a 'switch off pc' option, to turn the pc off when the conversion has finished.

The latest version of the Pocket DVD Wizard runs on any desktop or laptop pc capable of playing DVD videos. If you can put a DVD in your CD/DVD drive (it does not have to be a DVD writer) and Windows can play the DVD, the Pocket DVD Wizard should work perfectly for you.
Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP and Windows NT / 2000 are all supported!

You can also convert MPEG, AVI and WMV files!

All the popular DVD editing functions, such as targeting specific output file sizes, start and stop 'crop' points and removal of the wide screen black bars are supported for video file conversions in the current version of the Pocket DVD Wizard.

Forget expensive, and bulky portable DVD players, if you already have a Pocket PC you can keep the kids (and the adults!) quiet for hours.

Features:

  • The Pocket DVD Wizard is very, very easy to use with its simple step by step interface!
  • You can fit multiple standard DVDs on just a single memory card.
  • Superior video quality with WMV, AVI and MP4 output now supported.
  • More input formats supported, if you have a file type not listed, give it a try anyway, it will probably work!
  • You only need one piece of software, the Pocket DVD Wizard supports multiple output devices.
  • No need to buy any additional playback software.?
  • Support for both included media players (eg Windows Media Player for Pocket PC) and external players (eg MMPlayer)
  • 'Black bars' on the top and bottom of the picture can be removed
  • You can record multiple episodes to separate files without additional user interaction (and its easy to do!).
  • You can specify start and stop points to record just part of the dvd.
  • You can enhance the video brightness for small device screens.
  • You can select high quality, balanced output or high speed - you make the choice.
  • You can select alternate languages and subtitles.
  • Landscape 'Full Screen' playback on all devices, including the Pocket PC!
  • Free trial version is available - try before you buy.

I've used a couple of this type of programs to convert some DVD movies to a format I can watch from my storage card, and have been pleased with the quality of the movies! This program sounds like it could very well be "the" program for just such task!!
