Health and fitness applications for your Palm device
Few people realize what a valuable tool the Palm device can be for managing not only your personal health and welfare, but that of your family as well. Denise Watkins takes a look at the built-in and third party applications available to help you do just that.
New weapon in the remote control wars
The universal remote control is probably the single greatest invention in the cause of relaxation. With it, you can manipulate your entire electronic environment from the comfort of your couch. However, a war is now raging in the realm of universal remote controls between home theater purists with their expensive, specialized devices and Palm device users, armed with the OmniRemote application. Michael Compeau has returned from the trenches of this heated conflict with news of a new weapon called ORDesktop that will surely make OmniRemote the ultimate victor.
Reduce stress and create a larger life
Real life happens all day long. If you're burned out at your desk, you're probably also burned out at home. What if you could be happy all day long and know for sure that your work is enough? In this important article, business and personal success coach Kimberly Bryant shows you how you can improve your emotional and spiritual health with a little help from your Palm organizer.
Keep in shape with Vivonic's Fitness Planner
In honor of this month's Olympic Games, PalmPower is celebrating with a special health and fitness issue. To be physically fit, it's important to manage your diet and exercise, and if you own a Palm device, you've got the perfect tool to do the job. Heather McDaniel has a review of a new application that will help you reach your fitness goals and keep track of all those calories.
Give me Liberty or give me, um, a Game Boy
The myth is finally reality. Liberty is the first GameBoy Emulator for the Palm OS, and it works. Sort of. Dan Amrich reviews this convergence of the greatest handheld game system of all time with the niftiest handheld computer on the market.
That old time religion
Back on July 10, our news team ran a one-paragraph news item about a site that can download adult stories to Palm devices. We got letters. So, last month in our Letters to the Editor column we ran those letters. Well, wouldn't you know it, we got more letters! Somehow, in a publication dedicated to technical information on Palm devices, we managed to spark a discussion on free speech, the Internet, morality, and much more. Although a morality discussion is quite far afield for PalmPower, we've decided to reprint those letters here for you to think about and enjoy.
PALMPOWER BOOK CLUB
Immortality: the ultimate in health and fitness
What is the goal of a healthy lifestyle? All the bicycling, the exercise machines, the fruit-and-vegetable filled diets? A longer life, of course! And what is the logical limit of this? Ben Brickman reviews a selection of science fiction short stories exploring humankind's age-old dream: immortality.
PALMPOWER SITE OF THE MONTH
Free movie listings service
Going to the movies once in awhile is a great way to relieve stress and take your mind off things. Now, you no longer have to rummage through newspapers or take the time to go online to find movie times. Instead, you can access all the theater schedules you need right on your Palm device thanks to a new, unique service. In September's PalmPower Site of the Month, Steve Niles reviews a site that provides movie listings through regularly updated Palm database files sent right to your email inbox.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Tons of letters on a wide range of topics
The PalmPower mailbag has simply been overflowing of late. In this month's edition of Letters to the Editor, you'll find a question about PowerBoard registration, comments on last month's editorial and Palm m100 review, calendar trouble, and a letter from a reader who put what some might consider too much thought into the relative buoyancy of handheld organizers and lunch meat.
