AreaCoder - Just to find the numbers in your Address Book that you want to change is no easy task using the built-in Address Book application. The main display of the Address Book displays only one phone number per person; other numbers like the work, fax, pager, etc. of that person aren't shown. That means you have to go through your Address Book, entry by entry, searching for relevant numbers. If you have hundreds of names in your Address Book, that task alone could take hours. And once you find the ones you want to change, you'll have to edit them all by hand, one by one. Do you really have that much time to waste? Cut the tap!
That's where AreaCoder comes in. Give it the old Area Code, and AreaCoder searches through your Address Book and finds all the numbers with that Area Code. It doesn't matter whether the number has a "1" in front of it, or if the Area Code is in parentheses, or if the Area Code is separated from the main phone number by a dash, a slash, a space, or no punctuation at all; AreaCoder finds the numbers for you. Home numbers, work numbers, pager numbers; AreaCoder handles them all. If your home Area Code is divided, AreaCoder can even handle the situation where some of the phone numbers in your Address Book include that Area Code, and others are 7-digit numbers without any Area Code at all. And it takes up only 12K on your PalmPilot!
For maximum flexibility, AreaCoder provides you with three different modes of operation - interactive by name, interactive by exchange, and automatic by exchange. In some cases, you'll just know in "words" what's happening - "the Peninsula is changing from 415 to 650 while San Francisco is remaining 415." For this case, AreaCoder displays the name and city along with the phone number to help you decide which ones need to be changed. Just tap on the phone numbers you want changed, tap on the Change button, and the job is done!

Handy Label Handy Label - There are a number of very nice, very flexible programs available for desktop computers to allow you to print barcode labels. If you have a portable barcode label printer, however, it may well be because you need to print labels "on the go" - while walking around a shop, supermarket, or warehouse, or even in the field
EZ KB EZ KB - The collapsible case of the Tungstens is great, but if you have to enter any information, even a single character (like when you want to use the "Find" feature of the Address Book, for example), you have to open up the case. EZ KB lets you use the "5-way navigator" button on your device to popup the onscreen keyboard
