SwitchBeam extends the functionality of the Beam menu item on Palm OS applications.
In some ways this simulates the Send menu item first made available in Palm OS 4.0. It accomplishes this as a system extension (sometimes called a "system hack").
This is valuable because:
Some smartphone users, such as the Kyocera 6035, can not upgrade to Palm OS 4.0; Some applications do not provide the Send function; It allows applications to send files to other applications for unintended purposes.
SwitchBeam was first written to allow Kyocera 6035 users to use Snapperfish's SnapperMail with the builtin Palm OS applications. It was then made generic for use with other applications.
SwitchBeam 2.0 should work on any Palm compatible device running Palm OS 3.5 through Palm OS 4.1.
SwitchBeam is NOT compatible with Palm OS 5.0, but Palm OS 5.0 users are encouraged to contact the author if they are interested in a Palm OS 5.0 version.
