Added a few more applications to Centro:

• DateBk6 (trial)
• Resco Explorer
• Butler (removed)

DateBk6 has a few features that I want, namely improved compatibility with the newer Palm PIMs and Outlook (birthdays, 32K memos, etc) but I’ll try it first to see if it’s worth the upgrade. I can’t sing enough praise for this little unassuming software. No where near the bloat of Agendus and less fancy UI, but it works really well for me. Love the ability to customize close to anything.

As for Butler, I’m mainly interested in the ability to act as an attention grabber via manipulating the LED and stuff. So let’s see if that and a few more added extras (to me) is worth the money.

It’s surprising but I’m finding that despite the gloomy outlook for Palm, looking at the forums seems to indicate that the phone indeed has taken off in the US. There are a whole lot of folks asking about opinions on the best software for it, what’s compatible and not, etc. It seems so far that both old time Palm users and also newbies are trying out this tiny, affordable Treo Centro. I still find it hard to believe that this little phone packs all the punch of its bigger brethren, and faster to boot.

I’m already starting to use the Palm Centro extensively for PIMs. Nothing comes close to beating a Palm in this. Nothing.
