Look out 'cause we're getting ready to roundup another stampede of Treo software! *cough, cough* Okay, I believe the dust is clearing out some so let's see what we've got this week.

In this roundup, we have two newly released WM games from Astraware; Hexic for Pocket PC and Mozaki for Pocket PC. Also new is Pirates and e-Mobile Traffic. Some updated programs are SMS-Chat, Spb Diary v2.5.8, and ToolboxToGo for Palm OS.

Update: I was just saw at PalmInfocenter that mVoice has been updated to version 5.5.6. You can get mVoice for $24.99.

Butler and Phone Technician from Hobbyist Software have both received minor updates. Butler has now shed the annoying 'sometimes have to press the power key twice' bug, and Phone tech has fixed an issue with stay put and the auto-screen-off feature.

Updated Palm OS

ToolboxToGo for Palm OS v1.01

iambic, Inc. has updated its ToolboxToGo for Palm OS to version 1.01

Accelerate making PIM data changes with ToolboxToGo !

When so much of your life is reliant on the personal information that resides on your Treo, Centro or other Palm-based device, wouldn’t it be great to have a handy way to make all that data look and work the way you want? We thought so, and that’s why we created ToolboxToGo. This revolutionary collection of helpful applications is geared for users who have an eye for the aesthetics and an inclination to make minor changes to a large amount of Contacts, Meetings, Tasks, and Memos entries.

Whether you use our best selling Palm application, Agendus, or the regular built-in applications to organize and manage personal information, ToolboxToGo will dramatically accelerate the time spent navigating, tapping, highlighting, selecting and more.

We deliberately named it ToolboxToGo because we see a lot of parallels between what we’re offering and the types of helpful items a handyman or mechanic might carry along in his toolbox. In our ToolboxToGo you’ll discover five uniquely-designed tools that you may find you can't live without.

Features:

• Contact Doctor
  • Keeping contact names neatly organized and formatted while meeting people on the go can be hard. No worries. Just call on the Contact Doctor for help. The Contact Doctor can quickly perform multiple capitalization changes to the formatting of Contact-related fields.
  • Choose to format in a combination of ways, including:
  • - Capitalizing only the first letter (John)
  • - Capitalizing all the letters (JOHN)
  • - Lower casing all the letters (john)
• Number Doctor
  
  • If you like the Contact Doctor, you’ll love his associate, the Number Doctor. This tool allows you to make multiple changes to the display format of phone numbers for your Contacts. No more worrying about having to go back and make sure the numbers look consistent (dashes, parentheses, etc.). The Number Doctor has you covered.
• Date Sweeper
  Wish the purging feature provided in your Calendar or Task application had something more? We know the feeling, so that’s why we created Date Sweeper. Don't purge. Sweep!
  • Our Date Sweeper makes it easy to make bulk deletions. This handy tool not only saves time, but it also helps freeing up your device’s memory since it will no longer be cluttered with useless data.
• Heavy Lifter
  How can a task that’s so easy to do on a desktop be such a challenge on a mobile device? We’ve been wondering the same thing, and that’s how Heavy Lifter came about.
  • It can be used to perform multiple changes to various fields and/or properties of your Calendar, Contact, Task and Memo entries.
• Tag Cleaner
  Now you have a swift way to reclaim the Notes area of your Meetings, Tasks, Contacts and Memos. By using the handy Note Tag Cleaner, the tags (text created and referenced by Agendus) can be removed with one clean sweep.
  • Note: Removing a tag will unassign the item to the Meeting, Task, Contact or Memo (i.e. removing an icon tag will set the icon field for that item to 'None.').
  • If you frequently utilize Agendus extras such as icons, alarms, photos, etc., this is the perfect tool to have for performing mass unassigning.

New in version 1.01

• Number Doctor: corrected situation where the email addresses was being modified when formatting a contact's phone number(s)
• Number Doctor: corrected the inability to find contacts whose phone number fields contained more than 10 digits
• Improved date format recognition to support the system locale

That's a lot of utilities, which you can get here for just $9.95.

TopSelecText

RNS:: has updated its TopSelecText to version 4.4

This product was created for Treo 600, Treo 650, Treo 680, and Treo 700p, and Treo 755p only. It will not work on other devices than Treo 600, Treo 650, Treo 680, and Treo 700p, or Treo 755p.

Normally, there is no way to select/highlight text on your Treo smartphone without removing the stylus or struggling with a fat and/or stubby finger.

Now you can do it!

Use the following Shift and 5-Way Navigator combinations to highlight words:

• Shift Left
• Shift Right
• Shift Up
• Shift Down

Use the Shift Center combination to do one of these:

• highlight current word
• highlight current line
• highlight whole text field
• show system Command Bar
• dial selected number
• send SMS to selected number
• send e-mail to selected address
• navigate selected web address
• lookup selected name in contacts
• New! copy selection / paste text at cursor

One-hand use option - with RNS:: TopSelecText you will not have to use two hands to operate your Treo, or even take out your stylus.

RNS:: TopSelecText is a Preferences panel, which means its icon is not displayed among other applications (in a launcher), but it shows up as a new panel in the Palm OS preferences (the "Prefs" application).

Features:

• select text with 5-Way Navigator
• make hyperlinks of all phone numbers, addresses, etc.
• copy/paste text with Shift Center
• scroll text fields faster

This sounds promising to those of us (myself included) with fat, stubby fingers hehe
