As the amount of memory in handhelds increases (the Tungsten C ships with 64MB), the ability to delete unwanted programs in ROM becomes less important. However, if you do want to do such a thing, the $8 (~AU$10) program JackSprat can help. Its companion program, the $20 (~AU$27) JackFlash, allows you to move applications and databases into the unused portion of the Flash ROM that ships with your Palm, ensuring that they will survive a battery failure.
If you are not travelling with a notebook (the whole point of this exercise) and you don't want to rely on being able to synchronise over the Internet, then JackFlash will also back up your data onto an SD card.
The other useful facility not bundled with a Palm is the ability to print directly. PrintBoy, at $39.99 (~AU$53), connects via Wi-Fi to any printer with its own IP address on your network, by point-and-shoot infrared, or via Bluetooth if your handheld and printer support it. PrintBoy works with most printer models from HP, Epson, Lexmark, Canon and Ricoh; it also supports PostScript and Documents To Go, as well as QuickOffice and Wordsmith and other productivity software.
