Top 10 Treo & Centro Software - September '08 Specials

To celebrate the recent Palm Treo Pro announcement (see my review), we’ve created a 20% off coupon that you can use to purchase one or more of this month’s Top 10 bestselling applications for your smartphone listed below or any of the hundreds of titles in our Treo Software Store and Centro Software Store.

Our lineup this month has experienced quite a bit of a reshuffle with four of the previous Top 10 titles exiting the list – inlcuding: Solitaire Mania, the gorgeous Weather, AFK WordSearch and the latest version of Zagat To Go. 

In their place, this month’s Top 10 sees TouchLauncher leading the pack followed by a new entry from the increasingly popular USB Modem at #2 and also the award-winning Agendus which makes its first entry in the list at #10.

This offer is valid until September 30th – simply enter the coupon code BESTSELLERS in your cart to get your 20% off [please note that this coupon is not valid for use in the Treo Accessories Store or Centro Accessories Store].

Top 10 Bestselling Palm OS Sofware Titles

1. TouchLauncher  (Experience Touch!)
TouchLauncher is a new launcher for Palm OS 5. It sports a beautiful user interface and combines basic launcher features with new ideas. TouchLauncher can be used to run applications on your device with your fingers, as well as perform other basic tasks with them.  The fact that it’s priced at only $6.99 is naturally also a huge bonus.  [Read my full TouchLauncher review.]

For Windows Mobile I highly recommend the absolutely terrific Spb Mobile Shell

2. USB Modem  (Wireless Broadband for your PC!)
USB Modem allows you to enable your Palm OS Treo or Centro smartphone to be used as a USB modem for connecting a desktop or notebook computer to Internet. To surf the Internet from your PC you will need only a USB cable (also supports Bluetooth data connectivity) and a Treo with GPRS/EDGE service or CDMA 1x/EvDO data plan.

This latest version of USB Modem has rapidly risen in popularity with many users reporting how amazed they are at how quickly and easily this application works.

3. Butler  (Always at your Service!)
Butler is the assistant who thinks of everything with Alarms, Attention Grabber, Navigation, Launching, LED, Keyguard, Hide Popups, Business Card Beam and much more it is no wonder that it has been a top 10 bestselling Treo software for nearly two years now.

Butler contains 7 complete sets of utilities yet costs less than most single applications – probably one of the many reasons why it has consistently proven so popular.

4. CallRec (Record Everything!)
CallRec is a small and extremely easy to use application that will record important phone calls, a voice memo or any other sound coming in or out of your Treo or Centro at the simple push of the Side Button so that you can listen to them later. 

CallRec is the premier voice recording application for your smartphone. This simple-to-use application also allows you set an option to automatically record all your phone calls and it store files directly to the memory card and recording duration is limited only by free space on the card.

5. Ringo Pro - Treo Ringtone Player (#1 For Ringtones!)
The obvious practical aspect of Ringo is that it will allow you to bring your Treo alive with amazing MP3 ringtones - and set personal tones and pictures for friends and groups. 

Ringo Pro lets you add the magic of MP3 ringtones to every call - bringing your smartphone to life, every time it rings.  You can use your favourite music, or explore the world of "real tones" to add some great new call effects to your phone.

6. Softick Audio Gateway (Enables A2DP!)
Softick Audio Gateway’s is the first and only solution available for your Treo and Centro that delivers full support for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile support (A2DP) and Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) so that you can easily control Play/Pause, Volume Up/Down and Next/Previous track directly and wirelessly from your Bluetooth Stereo Headphones your without the need to touch your smartphone while listening to your digital music while on the go.

7. TAKEphONE  (Fastest Dialer!)
The latest version, TAKEphONE v7.6 is one of my most trusted utilities which greatly enhances the capabilities of Treo and Centro address books.  TAKEphONE has been extensively reviewed and consistently receives accolades for improving search, dialing, emailing, and SMS on Palm OS smartphones.

TAKEphONE is one of the simplest and most complete Contacts/Phone replacement applications that I have come across and anybody yearning for a better solution than the built-in Contacts program in our Treo and Centro will quickly be won over by it.  (See my review)

8. VolumeCare Pro (Boost Your Volume!)
Many people have complained about low volume input and output while on a call in different environments.  As usual, it should not be too surprising that a small third-party utility called VolumeCare has sprung up to correct this issue becoming one of the bestselling Treo applications in the process – one which countless Treonauts bless every day.

9. Phone Technician  (Do More!)
There will always be some small but irritating things that your Treo can’t or won’t do well or at all – this is when ‘enhancing’ applications such as Phone Technician come to the rescue and empower you to do more and better things with your Treo.  Take control of your Treo with Sound booster to boost your volume so you can better hear your calls, Mp3 Ringtones, escalating ringtones and more.

10. Agendus for Palm OS Standard Edition 
This latest version 12 of the award-winning Agendus personal information manager includes powerful new features and significant usability improvements to help you do more while on the go.

Agendus for Palm OS is a comprehensive personal productivity booster that can be customized to work the way you do.  Plus, it is smart enough, thanks to its new auto learning technology, to adapt how it interacts with you based on actions performed during previous sessions.

Bestselling Palm OS Game for Treo & Centro

Astraware Casino  (Las Vegas in Your Pocket!)
The best way to describe Astraware Casino is to say that you’ve basically got Las Vegas in your pocket without the downside of potentially losing your shirt…  With a rich collection of 11 of the most popular casino games (including Slots, Video Derby, Craps, Roulette, Blackjack, Poker and Baccarat) all in one pack it will give you hours of fun for those idle moments while on the go.
