Palm Shareware--Now Free!

• FontSmoother (hi-res PalmOS 5, including Clie NX, LifeDrive, TX, Treo 650+, Centro, etc.): Use elegant, clear and smooth fonts on your PalmOS PDA or phone. Includes dozens of free font packages, in various sizes (some smaller than the standard fonts, some the same size, and some bigger), and including Android fonts, as well as Cyrillic and Polish. My best selling PalmOS utility. [Full Download]
• myKbd (T3, T5, LifeDrive and TX): Use an optimized hexagonal-key ATOMIK or Metropolis (or a nice QWERTY) keyboard in your input area, with punctuation characters, macros and accents accessible. Or load a variety of different skins in the input area, recolor skins and status bars, etc. myKbd does everything mySkin does, plus has the support for hexagonal keys. Lots of free skins are available and there is a free Windows-based skin generator. [Full Download]
• mySkin (for T3, T5, LifeDrive and TX): Load a variety of different skins in the input area, recolor skins and status bars, etc. Make skins out of photos on your PDA (T5, TX and LifeDrive only). All the functionality of mySkin is contained in myKbd so now that the apps are free, there is no point to getting mySkin. But if you want it, it's here. [Full Download]
• FastLaunch (for Treo 650 and up, and Centro): Launch any application (or Desk Accessory) simply by holding down its first letter and choosing from a popup list. Many applications can even be launched on top of another application, with the first application remaining in memory (very useful for popping up the Tasks or Calendar on top of the web browser!). [Full Download]
• Accenter (hi-res PalmOS 5, including Clie NX, LifeDrive, TX, Treo 650+, Centro, etc.): Enter accented characters for European languages very quickly. For instance, on devices with a directional navigator (e.g., Treo and Centro), in French mode if you press 'e', you get a semi-transparent display showing 'ê', 'è', 'é', and 'ë', which you can choose with a press of a directional navigator key (or with a screen tap). If you just want a plain 'e', you can ignore the display and keep on typing as if it never showed up. Includes support for French, German, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, as well as for entering special "Programming" characters like {}[], and you can easily make new layouts. [Full Download]
• AtomClock (PalmOS 5 device with Internet access): Synchronize your device's clock with atomic clocks on the web, either manually or nightly. [Full Download]
