| linuxdaemon's Full Review: Palm Computing Platform |
All-in-all this is a cool update. There are quite a few additions. Two of these additions (double-tap to select a word, and Tap title for menu) were previously available as Hackmaster hacks.
My favorite addition is the ability to "mask records". If you have records marked private, you can mask them so they show as a shaded box, but you cannot view the contents without entering the password. Very handy if you are like me and forgot that you had hidden entries in there.
Also new to this version is the "Agenda View" in the datebook applications. This allows you to quickly see a list of all your activities going on for today as well as your to-do items. Quite handy.
There are a few other enhancements including the command bar when you make the command stroke. As well as a cooler looking battery level:)
This is a cool update. There are lots of little features that have been added. My only complaint is, updates prior to 3.5 were available for free to download. This is the first version that you have to pay for. While there are a number of features, I don't think any of them were really large enough to warrant charging. I mean, things like double-tapping words to select them really should have been introduced from the beginning of PalmOS in my opinion. ~$15 for the downloadable version is not that expensive, so I won't complain too loudly. And I am not sorry that I did it.
