Kid Zone for Palm OS is a specialized secure application launcher for Palm OS0 powered handhelds. It allows only pre-selected programs to be browsed and run on the device. This is primarily used for letting kids enjoy their favorite games on the parent's device while preventing them to access any other application and mistakenly changing or deleting important information.
Like many other Beiks applications, Kid Zone was developed because someone within the company realized they needed it: once during a flight, Natalie gave her Sony CLIE to the 3-year old George hoping this would buy her some quiet time. It did, but it also took her some time afterwards to fix her Address Book and MemoPad. Kids are kids and Kid Zone is here to help dealing with it.
With Kid Zone parents can now specify the applications that can be listed and run on the device. Kids see something similar to the standard Application Launcher, however only with the applications they are allowed to see. The standard hardware Palm buttons are not active so the kid can't access any of the other programs and create mess.
Once an application from the allowed list is run, it can again take full control of the device and use the hardware buttons as desired. When leaving, though, the only application it can return to is again the Kid Zone.
Parents can assign specific password, which lets them out of the Kid Zone.
Top reasons to let your kids play with your PDA
It buys you some quiet time when you need it
It's educational (see Dream Paint, xQuizMe, DJ Miner and many others)
They find it cool
There are probably more freeware games for Palm OS than are commercially available for Game Boy
Top reasons NOT TO let your kids play with your PDA
They can break it - valid concern, you make this call
Data hazard - not with Kid Zone
Note: By its nature Kid Zone is a security application. The level of protection it provides is only sufficient to keep minors and uneducated users away from the other applications. It shouldn't be trusted as a general-purpose security access application, as it can be worked around by power users. If you need serious data protection, consider data encryption software similar to BeSafe.
What's New in This Release:
· New: Support for Palm OS 5.x devices; (adding this feature has been significant effort as the changes in the OS required large changes in the application; hence the charge for upgrade)
· Fix: X-Master and extra files are no more neded; KZ is now ligher and safer than before
