In honor of this month’s Olympic Games, PalmPower is celebrating with a special health and fitness issue. To be physically fit, it’s important to manage your diet and exercise, and if you own a Palm device, you’ve got the perfect tool to do the job. Heather McDaniel has a review of a new application that will help you reach your fitness goals and keep track of all those calories.

Back on July 10, our news team ran a one-paragraph news item about a site that can download adult stories to Palm devices. We got letters. So, last month in our Letters to the Editor column we ran those letters. Well, wouldn’t you know it, we got more letters! Somehow, in a publication dedicated to technical information on Palm devices, we managed to spark a discussion on free speech, the Internet, morality, and much more. Although a morality discussion is quite far afield for PalmPower, we’ve decided to reprint those letters here for you to think about and enjoy.

The PalmPower mailbag has simply been overflowing of late. In this month’s edition of Letters to the Editor, you’ll find a question about PowerBoard registration, comments on last month’s editorial and Palm m100 review, calendar trouble, and a letter from a reader who put what some might consider too much thought into the relative buoyancy of handheld organizers and lunch meat.

Going to the movies once in awhile is a great way to relieve stress and take your mind off things.

Instead, you can access all the theater schedules you need right on your Palm device thanks to a new, unique service. In September’s PalmPower Site of the Month, Steve Niles reviews a site that provides movie listings through regularly updated Palm database files sent right to your email inbox.

The universal remote control is probably the single greatest invention in the cause of relaxation. With it, you can manipulate your entire electronic environment from the comfort of your couch. However, a war is now raging in the realm of universal remote controls between home theater purists with their expensive, specialized devices and Palm device users, armed with the OmniRemote application. Michael Compeau has returned from the trenches of this heated conflict with news of a new weapon called ORDesktop that will surely make OmniRemote the ultimate victor.

Few people realize what a valuable tool the Palm device can be for managing not only your personal health and welfare, but that of your family as well. Denise Watkins takes a look at the built-in and third party applications available to help you do just that.
