Get yourself a good email application like Snappermail.

I think I'm a hard-core user; I use my palm for about 4 hours a day except at weekends when I clock up about 6 hours a day.

For internet connection I use AvantGo but I get disappointed at the limited choice of sites it allows. Is there a better internet application out there where the user can hot-sync pages to their palmtop?

Emails - VersaMail. like others, I have had problems downloading from secure sites such as GMail, and so re-direct everything to Yahoo to then get it to my palmtop.

I used to use DocumentsToGo for text editing and spreadsheets, but found that documents in other formats would make it crash constantly. I eventually replaced it with QED for most text editing.

Games - SolFree for card games, Bejeweled, 100Boxes, HotLines, and stuff I've written myself (eg Connect 4)

Programming languages are my essential tools - I usually find it more fun to write the games than play them - OnBoardC, SmallBasic, PalmPascal. Does anyone know of a C++ language for the Palm? Probably not.

And for the massive instruction books for these languages, a document reader is essential. I use the Adobe Reader for Palm OS. This is pretty slow for books bigger than about 100 pages. I tried loading a 1000 page assembly language manual onto my palm. Converting it to a palm format took 14 hours, and meant that the computer could not be used for that time. It was then too big for the adobe palm reader to read.
