I'm trying to squeeze a little more life out of my old Handspring Visor. There's nothing on the market right now that screams "Buy me!" to me. I played with the Tungsten T the other day, and it was nice, but I just can't see $500 of usefulness in it.
Right now I use my Visor for basic PIM stuff (calendar, to-dos, contacts, memos, etc), along with a few basic games.
What are some must-have Palm apps out there that I'm missing out on? Do you have any cool/interesting uses for your Palm? Post 'em here!

If you mostly use PIM functions, definitely check out Agendus/Action Names . It integrates all the PIM apps into one interface.

BTW, I was a long-time Visor owner until I recently found a good deal on a discontinued Sony Clie (T615C). It's a great replacement for the Visor, especially if you don't like the keyboards on the Treos.
I do not like those green links and spam.
I do not like them, Sam I am.

I upgarded my palm VIIx when i got the tungsten for christmas. It is a bit pricey, but some of the features are great. i esp like the fact that it has built in blue tooth and has a full featured web browser that goes online through my cell phone (T68).

Apps I cant live with out:
Pocket Quicken (works great with Quicken 2002, 2003 for X)
Vindigo
SplashID
Bejeweled

There are many useful programs for the Palm PDA.

I like Documents to Go, MGI PhotoSuite, FireViewer, AvantGo, Palm Reader and others.

There is much more. Try looking through some of the main software sites and see what you like.

Hope this helps.
