Six essential applications summed....

RicoM · 12/19/2005, 08:43 AM

[edited...I have finished summing up the entire old thread (from posts 1 to 420). If the app didn't have at least 3 entries...I left it out. I'll update the links when I get a chance as well as add the posts in this thread.]
I just added some quick descriptions to most of the posts.

I finally got my treo and I went searching through the last "Six Applications you couldn't do without" thread looking for this summation. I figured this would be a good first post in a new thread. Thanks to dheymann for originally summing this up.

Should be made a "sticky" in the Applications forum.

Good idea.

RicoM · 12/22/2005, 11:25 AM

Since this is a sticky...I started to add links to the list

This should help a bit more.

eKeith · 12/22/2005, 06:37 PM

Nice work RicoM!

shagger · 12/22/2005, 11:18 PM

Volume Care!!!!!

RicoM · 12/30/2005, 08:43 AM

I've located all the programs and linked them (minus the two in red). I couldn't find the official TodayPlus Palm site and when I googled "free TCP media player", I received too many hits to know what the correct app was. So, if you have either links, please post it and I'll update it. Also, if you notice any links are wrong, let me know and I'll update that as well. Enjoy.

Also, there's a few links in there that aren't to the developer's page, but to a retail source to download the program. I'd prefer to have a link to the developer's page, so if you have any better info, let me know.

[edited....last two have been linked]

RicoM, thanks for all of your efforts!!

Here's the TCPMP link: http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about

JrrInTN · 12/30/2005, 09:13 AM

I think the free TCP player you mean is TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player) at tcpmp.corecodec.org. The best companion to it in order to copy the DVD to a format that can be loaded and played from TCPMP is Fair Use Wizard at fairusewizard.com.

Looks good, I can't believe more people did not put down a backup program.

Whatddya mean?

Backupman and BackupBuddy are there (although I prefer Resco Explorer and Resco Backup myself).

RythmDivine · 01/01/2006, 06:51 PM

I would like to add the following apps:

Aeroplayer
upIRC
LEDoff
Graffiti Anywhere 2
Opera Mini
SharkMessenger
SharkDownload
TreoGuard

I found all of them quite usefull. And most of them are Freeware.

Yeah, I know there listed. I just figured there would be higher numbers for a backup program. To me a backup program is "needed" much more than say Pocket Tunes.

MacUser · 01/02/2006, 11:33 PM

I agree JohnH59. I guess many people have backups on their computers when they sync? I know I get one when I use Missing Sync. Still, I bought and use BackupBuddy myself

Great job on the list and links. Thanks!
