Handango Office Suite Platinum Edition: an office in your pocket (continued)
The powerOne Personal calculator fits in between the basic calculator found on many Palm OS devices and the full-featured one found on Visors. You'll need to play with this one a bit to decide whether it should replace the calculator you already have.
PalmPrint
PalmPrint appears to be a great solution for printing data directly from your handheld, but due to lack of access to a supported printer, I was unable to test it. PalmPrint works with printers that have an IR port, as well as those that accept a serial cable. For compatibility information, visit the PalmPrint section of the Stevens Creek Software website at http://www.stevenscreek.com/palm/palmprint.shtml. PalmPrint supports color and there's a trial version available.
Launch 'Em
Launch 'Em replaces the application launcher on your handheld. Its benefits include flexibility in organizing your applications into categories, and a set of plug-ins that add features like a trash can and a power off button. It supports color and there's a trial version available. Figure H shows one of the many ways you can arrange things with Launch 'Em.

Use Launch 'Em to organize and manage your handheld applications.
The latest version of Launch 'Em, available at the Synergy Solutions Web site (at http://www.synsolutions.com/software/launchem/index.html), adds color and support for SD/MMC (Secure Digital/Multimedia Card) memory cards, along with a number of other enhancements. Follow the instructions that came with the Office Suite to register Launch 'Em and get the latest version of the software and manual.
Conclusion
The Handango Office Suite Platinum Edition greatly increases your ability to do real office work on your handheld. The included applications are among the best available, and the price is right. It's better than buying each program individually because you save around 20%. If you want to do serious work on your handheld, the Handango Office Suite Platinum Edition is worth a serious look.
