Dataviz PDF to Go

Been trying the new Dataviz PDF viewer. Not very nice on a 160x160 Treo
600 screen. It took at least 5 seconds to open the file. Another 5
seconds for zooming. It can handle a 90k file. I haven't tried with a
larger file. Won't dare to do it. I wonder what does it looks like on a
320x320 or 320x480 screen. Is it time to upgrade to a Treo 650????

U*Blog Screenshots

Some screenshots posted via go@blogger.com. The first image shows the screenshot of the first page. The first line is the unpublished post. The second line is the published post. The second screenshot show the new post page. There is a title part and the posting part. From here you can edit, post, delete from palm or delete from blog. The third screenshot shows the preference where you can input the blogname including your password. I am very happy with ublog for now. Another indispensible software for my treo.

Ublog Review (Mini)

Trying to write this mini review all along but couldn't find the time. This one is not written from ublog. The best thing about ublog is that it is a freeware. Other mobile blogging tools are shareware ie vagalog, moblog etc. I have tried vagablog previously but the interface are not very user friendly. There was not much updates ever since. Ublog supports blogger/blogspot, typepad and movable type. I can only comment on blogger since i am using it for blogger. Never had any experience with typepad or movable type. First you have to set the settings for your blog. You can set for any number of blogs. The manual is quite helpful (http://pam-ya.com/palmware/uBlogManual-en/). I have 2 blogs around. You can create a new post by just clicking on the New Post icon. You don't need to publish immediately. It can be saved first in your palm and be published later. The best thing is all the published or unpublished blog from your palm will be saved in your palm unless you deleted it. You can still edit the blog even after being published. This feature is absent from vagablog. I will try to post some images later via go@blogger.com.

DTG8 with native PDF support

Great news. Documents to go version 8 had been released with native PDF support. Now with that, your treo will become an ultimate mobile tool. But I still hope that PalmPDF would be out of beta since it is a freeware. Info from Brighthand and Palminfocenter. Will review it later.

My Treo 600

I have been an avid palm users for more than 4 years now. Start using a Palm Vx, then upgrading to Sony CLIE S360 to Palm Zire 71 to Tungsten T2 and currently to Palm Treo 600. The palm had become an indispensible tool for me. I tried blogging last year but had stopped for more than 6 months. Time is a bit scarce for me. Juggling my time for teaching, clinical work, research and administration took a toll on me. So now, I am trying to blog via my Treo 600 via ublog and go@blogger.com using whatever free time that I have. For now my main topic will mainly focus on palm whether softwares or hardware. I will be writing some mini reviews on the popular softwares that I am using.

New Blogging

Trying to revive my blogging on the move using my Treo 600. Ublog looks fantastic much better than vagablog. Will write a review of it later.
