Get Agendus for Windows Mobile free today only

Agendus 1.05Looking for a good replacement for the built-in contacts, calendar, and tasks applications on your Windows Mobile PDA or phone, but don't feel like shelling out $20 to $30? Handango's got you covered. Well, today anyway.

The mobile software store is offering up a free copy of Agendus for Windows Mobile today only. Agendus is a popular personal information manager that made a name for itself on PalmOS. Last year, Iambic decided to port the application to Windows Mobile.

While it may not have the name recognition of Agenda Fusion or Pocket Informant, Agendus does pack a bunch of features missing from Windows Mobile's default PIM suite. For example, you get more detailed week and month views, icons, and better integration of tasks, calendar, and contacts.

Usually a full license would set you back $25.

Propel: A new way to launch Palm applications

PropelSure, you can install hundreds of programs on your Palm Treo, but what good are they if you can't ever find the program you're looking for?

Iambic, makers of Agendus, have developed Propel, an alternative for the default Palm application launcher. Rather than scroll through long screens, your applications are divided into categories like "utilities" or "games." You can drag and drop your applications into categories to arrange them however you like. You can also create a favorites list to quickly find the programs you use most often.

But more impressive is the way you can find the application you're looking for with quick keyword searches. As you type in letters, Propel filters out irrelevant programs. While this might not seem that helpful if you're tapping around with a stylus to find your programs anyway, it could save you a lot of time if you're using a PDA with a built-in keyboard like a Treo.

Propel comes in two varieties, standard and professional edition. The professional edition costs $24.95, or $10 more than standard, and includes voice recognition for launching your programs even more quickly. You can use the voice launch function to start applications, bookmarks, mp3s, or even phone calls.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
