Instant Search on your Palm
Palm has a great instant search feature but it is not where you’d think it would be. I find the Quick Look Up feature of the contact/address book a very powerful search utility. It is something I even thought should be used for outliners like Bonsai. With one hand you are able to find a specific item and select it with just a few navigator clicks. There are many possible uses for it especially when you consider that you have 15 categories. All you need to do is save one for the address book and you can create 14 different types of search databases. I welcome your suggestions in the comments. I’ll start off with one useful database.
Cable television can now have hundreds of channels. You are usually provided with a listing of them with some thin brochure with small type. However now with your new search capability in Palm you can create a listing of cable channels to quickly find the channel number. Use the name of the channel as the last name and use the number of the channel as the first name. You can go even one step further and list the name of the show that plays on that channel in the company field. The reason for doing that is that one of the options you have for displaying your contacts is the company field.There you go! What are your suggestions? Comment below.
