Four ways to keep your handheld from becoming a handful

FROM OUR SPONSOR

By Chapura, Inc.

Palm OS handhelds come with many tools to help you get organized. Add to the usefulness of your handheld with affordable, easy-to-use software from Chapura. From the makers of PocketMirror, the industry standard for Outlook synchronization software that comes with most Palm OS handhelds, these reliable software applications for Palm OS handhelds and Windows-compatible PC's can help simplify and organize your busy life.

Cloak 1.0: Keep private information away from prying eyes

Is your brain overflowing with user names, passwords, and PIN's? Or do you carry these in your wallet or unsecured in your handheld? Use Cloak software to keep your private information safe and accessible with a single password.

Cloak organizes personal information in a secure, encrypted database on your handheld and PC. Because Cloak synchronizes between these two locations, you can always have the most current data with you. Cloak's Account view is shown on the desktop in Figure A.
