Meeting Summary
Out of all the mobile operating systems on the market today, Palm OS continues to be the most flexible and adaptive solution going. This is due in large part to the Palm OS developer community, which has written hundreds of thousands of applications. Armed with the right software, you can turn your humble PDA, or Smartphone into a veritable Swiss Army Knife of function and versatility.
To show you just how broad the Palm OS software market is, we’re going to go from one extreme to the other. For starters, we’ll take a look at “What’s On Your Palm”, by reviewing the area of Freeware - programs that don’t cost a dime. From shopping lists to super geeky network apps, there’s a plethora of software just waiting for you.
On the other end of the spectrum, we’ll take a look at how to remote control your main computer. That’s right, wether you have a Windows, Linux, or Mac, you can take control of your computer directly from your Palm OS device. From remote access, to full-on remote control, we’ll walk you through just how easy it is to command your PC from the palm of your hand. Even seen Windows Server 2003 running on your Palm? Well, this weekend, you will.
