PalmSource Open House showcases what's new in the Palm community (continued)
Another exciting bit of news comes from Cutting Edge Software (at http://www.cesinc.com). Their latest version of QuickOffice Pro adds QuickPoint, which allows users to view and edit PowerPoint presentations on their handheld devices. Presentations can be stored on expansion cards and printed wirelessly with Bachmann Software's PrintBoy Office Pro (at http://www.bachmannsoftware.com). Handmark Software (at http://www.handmark.com) will be releasing several major programs in the MMC (MultiMediaCard) format in the near future, including Scrabble & Monopoly, PDABible, PDAPhoto, the Rand McNally Road Atlas, and TetrisClassic. Landware also showcased their Money Magazine Financial Assistant (at http://www.landware.com/money/index.html), designed to help everyone better manage their personal finances. The last major announcement is from Trust Digital (at http://www.trustdigital.com), which now offers a VPN version of PDASecure for secure client to gateway communications over wireless networks.
Several other developers were also showcasing products that haven't yet been released, so I can't share all of the details on those. But there was definitely quite a lot of excitement in the air-it's obvious that good things are definitely coming for the Palm OS platform. That's great news after all these long months of waiting, with nothing more than rumors of what's to come to sustain the user community. The new devices are just around the corner, with the NX70 from Sony being the first available Palm OS 5 handheld, and announcements are expected from some of the other licensees, including Palm, within the next month or so. This is truly a great time to be a Palm OS handheld user.
