Since mid of this week I´m a proud owner of a Sony Cliè NX70V. Well this is a completly new world for me (again; I owned an IBM Palm PDA back in the OS 1.0 days ;) ).

Anybody here using a Palm too? I need some nice links (good portal site etc.)

And I would llike to know what is "the best" Dictionary / Thesaurus series out there?

I have a Palm m105/8Mb/PalmOS 3.5. I just use Google to find software but here's some tips (some might not work depending on OS and processor you have).

Easy Calc for a good scientific calculator.
CSpotRun for reading books.
Filez for a better file manager.
GrayPaint 2 for when you just need to be artistic on a Palm. Dunno, if you have colour.
IR-Pong 2 and IRTris for humiliating your friends that have Palms. Well, IRTris is fun solo too.
LispMe for your programming needs.
Noah Lite for the dictionary/thesaurus, the best I know of.
Patience for solitaire etc.
SFCave for the simplest fun game.
X-Master for the hacks. I use AfterBurner for overclocking, AppHack to launch more applications from the keys, BatteryLog and Parentheses Hack (for LispMe).

You might also want to try MessagEase for alternative input (faster).

I use AvantGo at times to read a couple news sites. I would read my mail with some software but my old GSM doesn't have a modem.

Oh, share some hints, if you come up with something better :D.

Thanks for the tips so far !

I found out that the Beiks dictionaries are pretty good. So I licensed the German bundle. So far I´m very satiesfied. NOt one word I didn´t find yet ;).

Will check out the sub game, although I prefer reading on it on the subway / tram / bus.

A great game is Space Trader simmilar to PC games like Interstellar Trader 2 or Gazillionaire, but IMHO better than those games and freeware!!

Well I think Noble Armada is better but is not available yet :)
