TreoSpotHere’s a neat freeware for Palm Centro owners. TreoSpot uses cellular towers to determine your location and allows you to set reminders based on your present location. First you define the towers and then create reminders when you enter certain area. This is very neat for such events when you need to do something once you get on a previously defined place. For instance “Do the laundry” could appear in TreoSpot when you approach cellular towers near home. ;)

On the downside, though, TreoSpot needs to be installed in the internal memory for proper functioning. Then again, it’s not actually a downside, but consumes Centro’s limited internal memory rather than a memory card… More information and download instructions are available from the official website.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.

    I went to the website and checked it out and it says it will only work with Centro GSM phones. I have a CDMA Centro, will it work at all or am I outa luck?

    If they say it’s for GSM versions only, then that’s it. Although, I would try it. Nothing to lose for sure.
