Dennis' List of Must Have Applications for the TREO 650

Lets begin with a list of some other good "must have" (or "popular") pages I've found:

Now for my list you should understand that I prefer freeware applications whereever possible so most if not all of the following are free (this is a work in progress):

• ScrBtn (screen buttons) is a simple navigation system which I have assigned to the "Home" hardkey on my TREO 650 (to replace the default "Applications" menu app).
  


• KeyGuardTime displays time and status on startup (without unlocking phone) or when button held.
  


• OnCradleOn prevents TREO powering off when its charging on cradle!
  


• TimeSync keeps the time in your TREO in line with your computer when HotSyncing (takes care of drift).
  


• KeyCaps650 is a program which makes entry of the odd upper case character or symble easier and faster.
  


• Treo Allegro 0.2 is a program I use to make my TREO's LED blink fast green when a VM or SMS is waiting. "LedOff" is frequently mentioned for this but that doesn't work and in any case is not intended to work the way I'd like. I want to keep all existing LED functionality and add to this. I also tried but discarded the shareware "Butler".

Now for some things I'm looking for or would like:

• A good PDF viewer. I've tried Adobe and PalmPDF.
  
• Alternatives to the normal KeyGuard.
  
• Decent stopwatch and countdown timer.

This is a list of applications I used to use and think are very good but for one reason or another no longer use:

• Button Launcher is a self contained part of PalmCommander which allows you to set up the Phone, Calendar and Messaging hardware buttons to display a menu containing up to 9 programs (I make the first in each screen that keys original function).I have now replaced this application with Screen Buttons (although there is no conflict).
