:) Hello everyone!
Yes it has been a long time since I have last posted and it's like opening fan mail! I've had readers wondering if palminspired is no longer being updated, as well as comments like where are you lady palm hope you are fine! Well thankyou very much for your kind emails! And yes palminspired is still online, and will always be! The reason post's have not been uploaded for the past 2 weeks is simply because of work commitments. Not only that I have been contemplating on transporting the site into a subdomain.
While I'm at this post I would like to thank those developers who have emailed me as well! And the question? Have I used my Palm in these dormant weeks? Yes I have! Infact I have also purchased an IPOD NANO! Simply because playing music on my palm is fun however it did consume most of its battery life. And considering I carry enough with me as it is, I decided to purchase the nano with 14 hours of battery life I dont need to get worried that my palm will die on me when I want to use the web.

Throughout this week, I have been using Teal DOC a terrific application that is very much customisable the best thing I liked about this application was the ability to control the auto scroll speed at your own reading pace! You can also use fontbucket to change the fonts, I have had the privacy to make my documents PRIVATE and the ability to encrypt them also.
I do recommend it to anyone!

Here is a prayer minder for the muslim community who own palm handhelds. Check it out
Prayerminder
The purpose of this software is to help Muslims mind their prayers, displays the Islamic prayer times and Islamic date, anywhere on the planet Earth. It also shows the direction of Qiblah, and aditionally, can be used to find North and Qiblah by pointing the Pilot toward the sun. It also allows you to set alarms for any of the prayers, and also for Tahajjud and Shurooq (sunrise).
I wouldnt know what Qiblah means :D but few of my readers are from United Emirates (Dubai).
A New user Star* User has just filled out the profile! Many of you may have his applications installed on your palm as he himself is a certified palm os developer!, or have even read his book "Teach Yourself Palm programming in 24 Hours." The creator of Wassup! Slidefree, Clippro,Applock and many more great applications! It is offcourse none other then Gavin Maxwell! Check out his star user profile today!
This is the first I have seen, an online Graffiti map you could say available at mywirelesspalm!
Looking at a few post's back I had mentioned a service for palm handhelds a service that is known as "Lost and Found" which equals Bak2u! This service that I have also registered for enables users to have that second alarm you could say.. by having a second source which is trackable when your pda is lost with vital information. To register for trackable settings is free to anyone, the best thing about being a paid member is peace of mind and the tip to the police! currently available in singapore only. The singaporian police have access to Bak2u's database! Travelling to singapore and misplacing a palm could end up in safe hands.
Alas Palminspired has been a feature on Bak2u suprisingly and has been quoted to visit in their current newsletter!
Check it out!

The above are the few things which I have breifly mentioned and will be discussing onwards. The list will grow as I discover more things to do!
Most people are overwhelmed by the information overflow with regards to pda's, laptop's, and mobiles. Every year there are many releases of such items many of them with added features, integration and the recent news soon to be delivered new operating systems! It is expected technology changes very quickly. Which is great! however the itsy bitsy downside is you can never end up purchasing the PURRFECT PDA! :) There is no SUCH THING! you make your own perfect pda! you either look for flaw's in your current one or be happy with the fact that it satisfies your needs enough!
I spotted a Lifedriver user for the first time on my recent travels, and actually it looked smaller then what I had imagined. The user was indeed very satisfied at the time they mentioned they had been reading the news. And they use it also to watch movies :) whilst travelling to and from work, I like that idea I also admire the fact that our PDA's have expandable capabilities where we can share our family photo's, pet photo's, holiday photo's or that short video you recorded with your camera!
I recently had the fun pleasure of playing a game via bluetooth! now that was fun whilst sitting in the kitchen with co-workers at work!
Basically the moral of this: Is that do explore the many benefits that is awaiting you! amusing as it may be, I infact had no idea of such a benefit until I decided to join in with the bandwagon. Although it is true some users have not utilised the full potential with their pda's, many users infact upgrade to another device maybe because they like carrying $500-1000 Task Lists :D. I'm pretty sure that once you can picture your pda perfect for your needs you wont be upgrading so soon and you may think about money before you spend!
The next couple of post's are usefull applications which help me through out my day and that is making my device more functional for me. Maybe if your one of those people that have not fully utilised your precious pda, you can probably get a few idea's to help you navigate.
Little things always make me think just that!, if you notice my previous post regarding calculators. You will see I was after tax based calculators. However normally at work most accountants have a special machine called an adding machine! yes that lovely machine that prints out your calculations :D. However where I work now, such machines are not available and the trickery involved in finding a decent calculator is more complicated the Hudini's magic ! So today I used the ram (in-built) calculator and although we may know this. But we are able to see exactly the key's/functions we have punched in and offcourse the answer! this in turn is like the adding machine only difference is, is that it's a digital reciept :D on the palm. So easier then excel obviously for small calculations more quicker and convenient!
So that in fact makes me happy! because I can see what i'am punching in instead of having to do the whole calculation over again :D
This is a convenient way to share files, you have up to 30MB worth of storage and you can store anything! it is so easy to share files with people simply by selecting which files you would like to share and then send it to mobile or send to email.
I access this on my T5 and at times upload files onto My Yahoo Briefcase instead of storing it onto my SD card or internal memory. To easy maybe some of you would find this just as good.
This is the link to visit My Yahoo Briefcase!
It is available to all countries!
I have been contemplating well pretty much stuck on whether or not a smartphone should be purchased over a pda?
Having never used a smarphone I would not know much of it's benefits however without using them as a potential consumer I'm distracted towards purchasing one. Simply because many smartphones on the market both Palm & Pocket PC have an essential component lagging in their designs, you can see with palm the bulkiness is present, and with pocket pc the same goes with that however they did minimise such bulkiness with the introduction of the o2 xda mini and now expecting atom.
However for the above listed devices there is no keyboard present, or more like any numeric keypad (O2) for making calls you have to use your stylus. One more thing is, is that the screen is relatively small to get any decent work done on most smartphone's.
However If you can compromise between size then nobody would be in an awkward situation. There is the issue of not carrying two devices why should I when I can purchase a smartphone? One thing I'am wondering is you could be in the middle of reading an ebook and then the phone rings? what happens with that.
So far I'am very satisfied with my T5 and although I wouldnt mind owning a smartphone I personally dont think it would be any better then a seperate pda or seperate mobile phone. I cant imagine reading documents, editing documents, using blazer web browser at an eye comforting level on a smartphone. That is small enough to not be a bulky intrusion.
The Imate Jasjar! supports 3g which is useful enough for me however it is to big to serve as my mobile phone. Honestly speaking I wouldn't mind trying the atom o2xda but then again what's the point when the screen size is to small.
Currently this is my mobile phone pictures are provided from infosync 
It all comes down to your own user needs. Some people wouldnt mind carrying bigger devices for them connectivity is more important and they get this through an all for one device basically.
I'am however pretty much connected through my versatile 3 mobile phone, which also has a 1.3 megapixel camera, quickshare, FM radio and bluetooth for pairing it with my T5, the phone remains in my handbag and I'm away surfing the net, and checking email's with my hotchocolate right next to me.
I cant imagine taking out a bulky device and using it as a phone :D just wont go with the flow.
Ask the oracle it could help you :D, I downloaded this today something cocky to amuse friends and family when there stuck on something. It is not very animated just a plain picture which when tapped gives well tries to give intelligent responses :D
Oracle
Not much of a game downloader, but I dont know what made me download this masterkick game, hey even I got into it for awhile, makes me think maybe I should give some other games a try rather then my standard games bejewelled and billiards! (they are you could say my essential games.) However if you have a keen interest or just like trying out new stuff then do download this trial version you may just end up buying it! MASTERKICK

I recieve some very nice comments throught out the posts as well as in email! one of them with permission I have decided to display on the site such a lovely email! The nice thing is, is that I recieve such emails out of the blue.
Hi Renai,
I been following up
your blog daily. :)
It is great to have wealth of information from your
site as it sure helps many explore more about their PDAs and also
aid them in understanding more before their purchase too.
Sincerely Paddy Tan
Looking for your local wireless fidelity spot (wi-fi spot) great for checking out email, casual surfing, posting up comments what ever the need or want! This site has it all, search by country, street address, to find your nearest hotspot.
Here is a link to search for your nearest Australian Hotspot
as well as international listings can be navigated at the following site!
Skype free internet telephoney! that just works? It works excellento on mac and pc, however I'm well aware that many of our palm user's out there all across the world aie, Hong Kong, USA, UK, Australia, China, Mauritius, France, Mexico, India just to name a few are hoping that skype will sooner then later be available on the palm OS platform!
Well just to keep everyone entertained in the mean time, for those of you Treo owners, Tungsten T owners, and Tungsten T3, Lifedrive owners, you may wish to download a trialcopy of IPHONE. This enables internet telephoney onthe palm handheld. Tested on the T|T and T|T3 it works fine.
Trail Copy of iphone
Do send in your comments if this product worked for you it would be great to know!
