[From Rui Castro] Ever since I got my Treo 650 I started to need to learn about the DBcache. I don’t really know the specifics but I do know that this new memory makes these last Palms unstable. I had a Palm IIIx, IIIc and TT and I never had theses problems before. A year ago I my Palm Treo started to reset all the time so I went on a quest through google looking for ways to solve this. The first app I found was Pref Doctor, at the time it had only 3 features, a backup of the “preference save” file , a clean exchange manager and a lock Preference Save File. This app did help a bit but it wasn’t enough, it didn’t help with the DBcache. Later I found UDMH, it clean a memory at time that I didn’t know of, the DBcache. But I didn’t like this app at the time because it made my 2day app slow. So knowing of the DBcache I continued my quest through google and found DBcacheTool. This one was great, free, full of features. Two problems, the help file was in Japanese (later I found a badly translated English file) and the cleaning process was a bit slow. I wasn’t satisfied, so continued looking and found the Pref Doctor forum. Here I test a new version which at this time had a clean DBcache.

Proporta carries the Freedom Mini Duo Keyboard…
[From Katrina at Proporta] Proporta carries the Freedom Mini Duo Keyboard… For those who like to email or word process on the go – it is not always convenient to carry a laptop, or full-sized keyboard with you whilst on your travels. Busy conference rooms, trains and other tight spaces just won’t allow it, which is why Proporta are happy to introduce the Freedom Mini Duo Keyboard.
– I don’t know about that keyboard. Looks like rubber chiclet keys. Could be more trouble than it’s worth. Still, I’d like to fondle it. Freedom states it’s compatible with PalmOS 5.x devices on their website.
