Handmark has a Monopoly
Handmark has given us a functional, well-oiled Monopoly game that will get you around the board and take the edge off of your Monopoly craving.However, the lack of a few key features makes this game less enjoyable and more frustrating at times.

For example, you can not raise cash during an auction on an opponent's turn.So if the computer lands on Boardwalk and you find yourself holding only $1... the computer gets to buy it for $2 at auction.

I would also like to see options to bend more of the rules, such as Get Out Of Jail Free cards (which I can't believe they omitted), and putting cash from taxes/fines on Free Parking, and different levels of opponent AI.Also useful would be the ability to orchestrate a 3-way or 4-way trade.

Handmark has made a game which is solid and aesthetic in and of itself, but lacks a few features that appeared in Monopoly releases on other platforms which would make a truly versatile and classic game.

(Note: This review is as of version 1.13.I have emailed my suggestions to Handmark, and they responded that they were working on some of these as additions for the next release.) ... Read more

Connectors fail
I purchased this as an "add-on" to sync & charge my M500 at the office, leaving the one that came with my Palm at home.

From the start it was intermittent at performing a HotSync, or even at charging.Eventually (2 weeks)it stopped working at all.Since I had lost the receipt, I decided to take it apart and see what I could do.

The problem is that the connector block itself (that mates with the bottom of the Palm) is only seated by a (very) shallow "ledge" in the base and the flanges (!) of two screws.Since this arrangement is not very resistent to the frequent in-and-out that a Palm is subject to, the connector block worked loose.This initially caused problems in seating the connector block, requiring more force be used to make the connection and downward pressure on the block broke two of the wires, from the PC board, soldered to pins in the conector block.

At some point I'll take a soldering pencil and reconnect the wires, and put two slim screws through the block to the cradle base to hold it in place.

In the meantime, I've purchased a hotsynce/charger USB cable (instead of the cradle) and we will see how well that one fares.

Quit working after a few days
Bought it as a cradle for the home.The Palm cradle, that came with the handheld, stays at work.The iConcepts cradle worked fine for a couple of days and than stopped being recognized by the computer (incidently, it's the same laptop I use at work).The charging mechanism still functions, but it no longer performs a HotSync.Upon investigation, it appears the USB/Serial cable running into the cradle has worked itself loose.The base of the cradle swivels.The cable appeared to be pressed against the base and the cradle.Every time the cradle swivled, excess force was placed on the cable where it entered the cradle, eventually loosening the connection.
My advice, spend the extra [money] and buy the cradle made by Palm. ... Read more

Product Description

Pocket PC Remote Control Total Remote allows your favorite Pocket PC to function as a master remote control, replacing all your current remote controls. It can also allow you to control infrared devices nearly 100 feet away - up to three times farther than the typical AV remote! The magic behind Total Remote’s transmission power is the Transmitter Module, which uses your PDA’s audio hardware to perform its long-distance feat. (See the sidebar for more on how we’ve done this.) Total Remote also supports built-in Infrared (IrDA) ports, though the range may be shorter. Many of the newest Pocket PCs have exceptionally powerful IrDA ports that can work very well for remote control, and IrDA support also means Total Remote will work with Pocket PCs that do not have audio hardware of sufficient quality to use the Total Remote Transmitter Module. Our Total Remote Software gives you the power to replicate and replace your current remote controls. It comes with profiles for thousands of TVs, VCRs, DVDs, and other devices, and you can edit existing profiles or add new ones. Total Remote even lets you grab specific commands from your hardware remotes to create “virtual” remotes that look and function the way you want. We also give you a set of skins so you can change Total Remote’s appearance any time you want, and full instructions in the Skin Developer Kit to design your own. ... Read more

Good software, bad support
The features of the software are great.For people who make extended use of Outlook categories and subfolders, being able to carry those into the Palm is invaluable.

Support, though, is lousy.I had occasion to try when I started getting an "unexpected error" on synching my contacts which corrupted by home PC's Outlook contacts.The access to email support is hidden in web pages, only showing up once the user has browsed limited and un-helpful FAQs.I never was able to find a telephone number for support.And, despite claims on that response should be forthcoming by next business day, I've been waiting a week now with no response.

Best outlook companion
This is the best outlook companion I have seen.
It allows you to seemlessly integrate with ALL outlook's contact fields. All your tasks are kept in the same categories (even non-standard ones). Most important long notes are not truncated. Attachments in e-mail can be opened in Documents to go.

It's the best way to get your outlook info to your Palm. ... Read more

The best PIM software for the Mac
Personal Organizer is by far the most powerful yet user friendly personal information manager that exists for the Mac platform.It runs flawlessly on OS9 through OS 10.3.Lets touch upon a few of this program's many strengths: ability to display multiple views (month, week, day, notes, custom lists) simultaneously; ability to assign multiple categories to names, appointments, to-dos and memos; ability to make individual entries private to avoid unintended viewing of sensitive data; ability to link calandar entries to individual contact entries; and reliable synchroniztion to Palm compatible organizers.It also has a daily journal feature. The main drawback is that the software has not been updated in two years, which makes one wonder if any future updates are forthcoming and how that might impact future software/hardware compatibility issues.

Good but poor customer service
Excellent software - did not need an update since installing it under OSX 10.0 or 10.1, now running under 10.3.4 - and it outperforms rival products. Many options, customizable, rich in features.
However, the company never responds to questions, does not provide holiday calendars (you can make them yourself, but that's not a strong point obviously), and it did not provide updates in the last two years. Forf example, the export / import facility is in need of improvement (Address Book...).

They have started to advertize their product aggressively - I hope, they will now also do something with it.

Excellent organizer for Mac
At first, I was overwhelmed by all this could do but quickly caught on and fell in love with it! Lots of helps to get the most out of this fully customizable organizer. A must for anyone who uses mac and who loves efficiency. Highly recommended software. ... Read more

Okay Desktop, poor PDA
This product is okay when used as a reference tool on your desktop computer.However, to reiterate and reinforce other reviews it is misleading and a poor tool for your PDA.You are only allowed to save static maps to your PDA.Once the map is on your PDA you can not zoom or view street names, which makes the product highly useless on your portable device.I give the product one star only because it is usefull when used on the desktop computer.Since it's target audience seems to be the PDA user the company misrepresents the usefullness of the product on the PDA.I am very displeased.I highly recommend not purchasing this product if you intend to use it on you PDA as it is purely junk in that respect.

Absolutely worthless
This software would have been a marvel twenty-five years ago.I couldn't return my copy fast enough.The details that they say are downloadable from the web are not there.Rather than Streets Maps & Vacation Planner buy a good old fashioned paper map.It is far better.

Useless -- maps static and at least 5 years old
Not only are the maps not interactive on the PDA, as other reviewers have pointed out, but I found the maps of the South Bay to be at least five years old.A major section of Highway 85 that was completed over five years ago is not shown on the map.

A close inspection of the product packaging does refer to "static" maps (maybe they mean static in time as well -- locked in at 1997!); however, I feel that the packaging is deliberately misleading so that the buyer can easily get the impression that these maps are interactive on a PDA.In any event, the fact that such old and obsolete maps were used is inexcusable.

Not worth it
This software seems like it was designed more for your desktop than your palm.On your desktop, it is a fully interactive map of the U.S. But you can only load a single still picture on to your palm.No zooming, no address finder, nothing!!!If you're looking for interactive map software for your palm, stay away. But not bad for your desktop.

Useless, only creates fixed images on Palm
This product uses a simple interface on the PC to outline an area for which a map is to be generated.An image, and nothing else, is downloaded to the Palm.There is no searching by street, zooming, or anything else on the Palm.

Worse still, the image capture on the PC won't display individual streets except at the few highest zooms and then the area is quite small.So, either the map on the Palm is uselessly small (a square mile or so) or it doesn't actually contain city streets.Either way, as a map, it's useless.

In fairness to the product, it tries to be a trip planner more than a map.In that role, it's not quite as bad.The result is a sequence of maps, each at an appropriate zoom level.Even so, it's awkward to create and download separate maps for one trip.

Okay, it's cheap.I don't expect full features.But, this product just isn't usable. ... Read more
