Every six months or so, I try to make the transition from Palm to PPC, but it never lasts. When PPC developers stop wasting screen real estate on bulky controls, maybe the transition will go better for me. There are a few programs I can't live without on my Palm, and there are no good alternatives on PPC:
- SDSTime: a simple timesheet program where I can see an entire week at a glance, with all project names, and times for each day of the week in calendar format... still waiting for something like this on PPC. I've evaluated about 9 apps, and none does this.
- Day Notez - a simple daily journal that organizes entries by date and time, and shows them in a sorted list that allows filtering by keywords. Every equivalent in PPC has a poor UI, no filtering, and builky timestamps.
- MemoPLUS - a text memo program that can password protect selected memos with unique passwords. Not all memos, not one password at program entry... a password prompt when opening a memo in the list, and the possibility of a different password for each memo.
- Card Export - a program that lets me see my SD card as a drive on my Windows PC through the sync cable.
I'm pinning my hopes on StyleTap to solve the first three (still some bugs, though). The last one I *might* be able to live without, but only if everything else is good.
I'm trying, I really am. But PPC forces me back every time.
