Possibly the Most Valuable Treo App...and I Just Got It

Antoine of MMM · 12-02-2005, 12:49 PM

Honestly speaking, I am still getting to know my Treo and all that it does. I am always impressed at the ability to use the Treo and stay off my laptop unless I am doing website development, playing a game, or downloading email. Its really let me be more mobile and less computer guy :rolleyes:

So you can imagine how I felt when I was at a Treo User's group meeting last night (found out at the last minute nonetheless) and was beamed Directory Assistant. I absoutely love this program, and have to find the developer's website to give him a blessing via PayPal. Its really a great program and just makes not having to call 411 again quite fun.

The only thing missing from Directory Assistant is the integration into Keysuite and Facer. I'd love it to be able to be searched from the today page in Facer. That would be great for the quick lookups. But the integration with KeySuite would be icing on the cake as I can (finally) get directions to people's places and have a reason to keep updated addresses.

So yea, to me, this is my most valuable app. So much so I dont have a download link for those of you who dont have it. I'll get one soon. But until then, if you get this program, just revel in how much info really is out there. It might scare ya some, but its also kinda kool.

I've been using DA for a long time and is one of the most used apps that I have.
My other is KeyCaps650:

I'll add 'FieldPlus' to this list. The main thing I love is that it allows you to press and hold the menu button to invoke the 'command' bar.

THe only thing I'd add to DA would be integration with Facer's today page, so that one could search from the today page, and then the results would display in DA. And then tehre would be a "last results" button on the Facer plugin that would enable on to launch DA with those last results.

Ohh, that would be nifty! Especially if it could work with any Launcher...like ZLauncher. (Yes, yes, we made up and we're back together again! :tongue: )
