September 2006 - Things That Palm Forgot

Meeting Details

Meeting Summary

As much as we all love our Palm OS devices, there comes a time when you wish that your device had “just this one” feature. This month Randy Jones is going to show us a truckload of applications that can help us get more usefulness and functionality out of our PDAs. Palm may have forgotten to include an app or two, but thanks to the Palm OS Developer Community, you can fill those small gaps and supercharge your Palm!

And let’s not forget those door prizes! Randy aka “The NPUG Prize Pimp” has put together enough giveaways this month that everyone in attendance should walk away with a giveaway. So if you want to see how to get more functionality out of your Palm and get some free software in the process, then you want to be sure to attend this month’s meeting.

Agenda

1. Welcome & Announcements

3. Things That Palm Forgot
As much as we all love our Palm OS devices, there comes a time when you wish that your device had “just this one” feature. Maybe you wish you had a different way to access your applications, or perhaps you desire a better way to work with moving files back and forth between your desktop and your PDA, or maybe, just maybe, you wish that you had just a little more memory. Well the good news is that there are a TON of cool add-on and accessories that you can use to make your Palm OS device work the way YOU want it to work.

This month Randy Jones is going to show us a truckload of applications that can help us get more usefulness and functionality out of our PDAs. Palm may have forgotten to include an app or two, but thanks to the Palm OS Developer Community, you can fill those small gaps and supercharge your Palm!
