If you're looking for a way to save some cash this holiday season, check out Coupon Sherpa's mobile coupon application that delivers coupons directly to your handheld. Currently, the app only supports the iPhone and iPod Touch, but since there are quite a few people who use the iPod Touch as a PDA, I thought this was worth mentioning. I'd love to see this application implemented for other platforms such as Windows Mobile, Palm OS, or WebOS as well.

If you're looking for a new way to use your PDA as an alarm clock, you might be interested in SPB Software's newly released update to SPB Time. The latest version offers a new user interface with improved alarm features. SPB Time 3.0 has three different types of alarms--Paranoid, Bio, and Classic. The Paranoid alarm is designed to wake deep sleepers while the Bio alarm uses a gentler approach. The Classic alarm strikes a happy medium between the two alternatives.

For SPB Mobile Shell users, SPB Time 3.0 is able to use the Shell's widget system. There are four widgets available. For more information or to download a free trial, visit the product page for SPB Time.

Protection One, a home and business security system provider, recently launched an application for the iPhone and the iPod touch that lets users access security panels and receive real-time updates on their mobile device. The application gives users the ability to make sure their security system is armed while on vacation or to turn off the alarm when cleaning crews or other contractors need to enter.

This new technology certainly offers some convenience and peace of mind. If a similar app were available for your PDA's operating system, would you use it?
