Airset - Your Whole Life Organized
I’m Baaack! “This one is hot, Dog” as Randy Jackson would say. Airset must be one of the best kept secrets out there. The thing I love most about it is that this killer app shows some Palm Desktop love. I footnote this post with the link to their video cast tutorial which does a great job of describing its features. I’ll leave the general description to them. I’ll give you the specific scenario in the next paragraph.
Airset lets me schedule events with alarms on my palm calendar, hotsync and get sms text reminders when the alarms go off. I get an online calendar that leaves me saying Google who? This even syncs my calendar & contacts straight from my Palm - straight from the Palm (sans desktop but desktop is an option)! It imports ical, csv and syncs Outlook & Palm Desktop. All this for free. If that isn’t enough, for a small fee you can launch their online mobile client on your phone and snyc over the air. Their collaboration features are their strength and I haven’t even touched upon it yet. The link to their tutorial below will fill you in. Did I happen to mention it’s free? Palm Desktop users rejoice because this is one of the few applications that actually supports Palm Desktop. This is a Palm Master App. Web Site Airset.com
Being organized without annoying people could actually have people be inspired by your new practices. What doesn’t inspire people is taking their phone number on your palm (and their time by the way) while you pepper your dialogue with “okay, hold on, okay, hold on.” You’ll recognize these utterances as words that accompany missed graffati strokes and the rolling eyes of the person your impressing with your tech skills. You may want to grab a pen and paper and improve your social skills by not having the person cater to your lack of facility with the stylus. Unless of course you have the palm program Quickphone. Quickphone allows you to enter numbers, quicker than you can say “OK, hold on.” The great thing about Quickphone, is that it’s a year 2000 program that still works with Palm OS 5. I tried this out on my Zire 72, and the TX with no problems.
