BluePill - used to wipe the Treo and/or SD card if it gets lost. It works. - RAM

BTOff and BTOn - utilities from Hobbistsoftware for turning off the Bluetooth radio function. I ONLY use BTOff as it turns on the BT if it is off and turns it off if it is on. - CARD

Butler - I use this for nagging; the wife for an alarm and nagging. It has the remote security features that I do not use (BluePill instead). - RAM

Currency - watching the value of money - CARD

Datebook 6 - one of two applications that are available as top of the line replacements for the built-in calander application. I use this every day. - RAM

DateWheel - hey this is great for figuring the number of days between dates. I replaced DateUtil with this one. - CARD

DBScan - from the maker of Datebook 5/6 - keeps the calander healthy. - CARD

Distance - not used very often - used to get the distance between map points. - CARD

Documents to Go V9 - use it a lot for Word and Excel files on the Treo - I routinely do Word or Excel files on the go and email them to whoever needs it. A great application. Other apps that do the same basic thing: Quick Office, Word Smith. - RAM (with its various apps on the card)

eReader - CARD

YAHM - used with a hack I am playing with that helps to ensure that files are closed at reset time. - RAM

ZLauncher - third party launcher that does it all. - RAM

Off the above, the apps I consider important: mClock, Datebook 6, DTG V9, HanDBase, ZLauncher, On Guard Backup (and pretty much all of Northglide's applications), Resco Backup, Resco Lock, Butler, TakePhone, 2Day, Google Maps, TealLock, Bluepill - I place a lot of importance on a secure device.

As for games, they are on the device but rarely used.

do most of those apps reside on the card?

[benjie]

Stupid me - the majority do live on the card. I updated the post. I normally include links, just time is pressing right now. Ben

do most of those apps reside on the card?

[jfa]

No not stupid at all if so stupid questions on my part. I figured that would be the case because that's a lot of programs, but it never hurts to ask thanks for the updated links now I can reprint the post again thanks so much ! very good!

[bigpond]

I have just put TreoLauncher 1.31 and its very pretty. Also gives shortcuts of ALL the most recently used programmes of whichever category. Very nice.

How did you install TCPMP? Thanks!

[MleB]

... i like to go with TCPMP this allows me to watch dvd's on my treo. ripping the dvds to MP4 is another isse, i just buythen off my friend, so i dont know hoe to do it...

To rip DVDs down for the Treo, check out this link -

http://www.everythingtreo.com/forum/...ard-10142.html

Fairuse Wizard is freeware.

How did you install TCPMP? Thanks!

Download TCPMp, unzip the files and Quick Install or right-click > Send to > Palm -

• tcpmp.prc
• tcpmp_mpeg4_plugin.prc
• tcpmp_mp3_plugin.prc

These are not very big so they can live on the Palm, unlike the actual ripped movies, which you should stick on a SD card - and best to do this thru a card reader/writer than Quick Install. There are 'issues' with that.
