This is a list of the top Palm Freeware available

1) 100 Boxes

This is one of those games that is extremely addictive and hard to solve. At first , it looks like minesweeper, but it's not. Gameplay is simple, you tap on a colored box (or X on grayscale) and the box fills in with a number. There is a specific circular pattern than evolves around where you tap. You're goal is to fill in all 100 boxes. Sounds easy huh?, wait till you try.

2) CSpotRun

A good document reader is a necessity for every palm. This is one of the best readers available and it's free. The neat thing feature about this reader is the automatic scroll.

3) Geeksounds

GeekSounds is by far the coolest collection of alarm sounds for your Palm PDA. The program gives you sounds, such as themes from Airwolf, Back To The Future, Battlestar Galactica, Indiana Jones, Mortal Kombat, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Wars, and the X-Men.

4) BigClock

This is one of the most downloaded freeware products of all time. It's more than just a clock. With world time, 4 alarms and a timer you can't beat it. Especially comes in handy on your bedside table to see the time in the middle of the night.

5) Projects

Projects is a TODO replacement with lots of power. The best part is the ability to see multiple Tasks on one page.

6) Graffiti Anywhere

Graffiti Anywhere allows you to use the Graffiti recognition system anywhere on the screen. This is really nice program if you want to take advantage of the full screen when writing.

7) Accounts Manager 2

Accounts Manager is software for personal finance where you can keep track of all your expenses and incomes fast and easily.

Each created account can have expenses and incomes, with the option to create cross reference records (an income in one account creates an expense in other account). A cross reference record can include more than 2 accounts at a time.

8) MyCheckbook

Sometimes it's amazing the quality of the freeware available. This checkbook software beats any commercial product of its type available. Be sure to check this product out.

9) Today

This software is designed to give you a start page like Pocket PC. It gives you a direct link to major programs and even lets you customize the defaults. Definitely a program to have.

10) CFB Pong

This is simply a well done version of Pong for the PDA. This game will keep you occupied for hours.
