HoldSync allows you to HotSync by holding one of your hardware buttons.
Enabled by default, it can't get any easier than that:
Hold first hardware button for 8/10 of a second and release to HotSync.
(You'll hear a confirmation sound after holding the button long enough) Disable by clearing the "Hold..." check-box, or change the button and the hold period to your liking.
Best of all, you won't lose a precious button for this:
Pressing the button shortly, does the default action for that button.
Holding the button when device is unplugged, should do nothing at all.

When tapping the 'Find' silk-screen button (asks for password to continue, OS5+)

FindPrivate FindPrivate - If you're using the 'Find' on your PalmOS device, and if you also hide/mask private records, you may miss some search results that you'd like to see.

BrightnessDAs BrightnessDAs - with a stroke of your finger (depends on the DA launcher you're using and the options you choose to invoke my DAs) your could quickly choose between minimum brightness (great for reading at night), low (~20%, for battery-conscious users ;), medium (50%, should be enough for most situations) or maximum (100%. The range above 50% up to 100% is superfluous)

AutoOffExtender can detect when your device is powered on after being off for less than a few seconds, and extend the auto-off time for that session, assuming you need more time to watch the screen with no action
