KeySuite for Palm OS updated

Filed under: Business, Windows, Palm, Productivity, PalmSource, Commercial

Marc Orchant over at The Office Weblog notes that Chapura's KeySuite has recently been updated with several minor enhancements.

Updates include:

• International, 24-hour time picker with an option for setting time in 1-minute or 5-minute increments.
  
• Year view in KeyDates (for hi-res handhelds only).
  
• You can set Week Start in KeyDates to any day of the week. All views now reflect this Week Start day.

KeySuite is an excellent Palm PIM replacement, especially if you are a heavy user of Microsoft Outlook.  KeySuite does an admirable job of replicating Outlook on the Palm.  I've used KeySuite over the years, and really liked it until I got my Treo 650.  Since KeySuite uses its own data file, it doesn't rely on Palm's sync utility.  This is fine, unless you are syncing your Treo, or other wireless device, with a Microsoft Exchange server.  With that scenario, only the Palm default mail and calendar applications are syncable.  Palm also implemented much needed calendar features like an attendees list, accepting meeting requests via the Treo 650, and settng appointments in multiple timezones.  So, despite the limitations, I now rely on the Palm applications for most of my PIM functionality.

The nice thing about KeySuite is that each application, Tasks, Calendar, Notes, Contacts, and Today, can be used individually.  As a result, I still use KeyTasks for syncing to Outlook and revert to the regular Palm applications for calendar, contacts, and email.
