DiddleBug For PalmOS Review

What is DiddleBug?

DiddleBug is an application for the Palm family of handheld computers. It is similar to a yellow-sticky note in that it allows you to scribble information onto your Palm device using digital ink. You can set alarms for each note from a pop-up list, and DiddleBug will not let you forget your reminder. In addition, DiddleBug has IntelliBoogerTM extensions that allow you to transfer information from within DiddleBug to other applications, such as the built-in ToDo and DateBook apps.

DiddleBug is based on the Diddle sketching engine, and has similar functionality to BugMe!, which explains the DiddleBug name. Users of Diddle will find the interface familiar, with the same menu shortcuts and the same hideable titlebar. DiddleBug is free to use and licensed under the GNU General Public License.

This is a most excellent little piece of software; and it is completely free. I have been using it for over a week, and can say that I fell in love with it immediately. It does just what I need it to do. I can jot down phone numbers and various other info; that most my life; has accumulated in my pockets and stuck to things as scraps of paper. It functions as a more modern and practical Post-It note. But these Post-It's go where you go and are organized in infinite ways. Some of the many useful details include the ability to set reminders for repeated tasks. whether the happen once an hour; once a day, week or year. Repetitive reminders can be set and locked.

You can utilize plug-ins that will transfer phone numbers and such to other software. This software picks up where the Palm factory software leaves off. All the additional functionality you wished you had.

It's free; it's easy; it's powerful and it is well worth having, so by all means go and get it.
