Mon Sep 24, 2007 - 12:37 AM EDT - By Jennifer Chappell

Palm OS Software

In this round we have updates to Backup Pro, Propel, Bonsai 4, FlexMail, Battery Pack Pro, and some new Treo software...

BackUp Pro

BackUpPro by RoGame Software has been updated to version 1.7.7. BackUp Pro can protect your data by keeping an up-to-date copy of everything on a memory card (SD, MMC). It does this in a very efficient manner and is extremely fast. To give you complete peace-of-mind it also allows for unattended automatic backups at a pre-determined time of the day. Files can be selectively backed up and restored.

BackUpPro is available here for $14.95.



Card Reader

Mobile Stream has updated Card Reader to version 1.07. Card Reader allows to use Palm-powered handhelds as an ordinary USB or Bluetooth card reader for quick and easy file exchange. It has the unique ability to export the card in the background mode allowing you e.g. to transfer MP3s simultaneously with web browsing.

Features:

  • Great transfer speed (up to 1200KB/s for reading and up to 1100KB/s for writing on most modern handhelds)
  • Background operation support
  • Ability to export multiple slots at the same time
  • Experimental Bluetooth FTP support

Propel for Palm OS

iambic has recently updated Propel to version 2.0.

Propel brings ease of use, instant retrieval and speedy launches of applications, music, pictures, contacts, and more to your Palm OS-based smartphone or handheld.

Propel is the ultimate launcher for your Palm OS powered PDA or smartphone. If you have a Treo, try Propel and you'll be amazed at how snappy and straightforward launching applications, finding your contacts and keeping in touch will be. Once you start using it, you'll wonder how you ever did without it.

At the same time, Propel is budget conscious and offers 2 editions to better fit your specific needs. Don't need Voice Launching or mp3 capabilities? Then the Standard Edition is for you. Looking for a fully integrated launcher experience? Go Professional and you won't be disappointed.
