Torchlight - Turn your palm into an emergency torchlight or hand-mirror.
During a recent storm late one night recently our house lost all electrical power.
Fortunately, I had my trusty palm on me and was able to find way around a completely dark house.
You'd be surprised on how bright the backlight is!
The only problem was that I kept accidently tapping on buttons (to stop the palm from turning off automatically) that did things like delete records.
This software overcomes that problem by making the entire screen a big pushbutton that does nothing when tapped.
You can also use this software to turn the palm into an emergency hand-mirror when no other mirror is available.
