Chuzzle features four fun-filled modes of play: and. Look out for Giant Chuzzles, Super Chuzzles and Rainbow Chuzzles which all carry their own special effects and bonuses!
Chuzzles is the best selling game from Astraware that uses cute little balls of fluff to keep your mind active, who knew that fluff could be so fun? The game itself at first glance is like Bejeweled (another top selling game by Astraware), in the respect that you have to join three matching Chuzzles in order to clear them and gain points by doing so.
Unlike Bejeweled the Chuzzles have character, and with each move that you make you find that each Chuzzle has their own character about them. Tap them repeatedly and they make evil eyes at you and one even lost all their fur as I was tapping it. If you tap the large ones repeatedly as well and find that they shout at you as if to tell you to stop! Very amusing, and cute at the same time, but be warned, these little furry things can be a little bit sneaky and at each level you begin to believe that all is not what it seems! Look out for the Giant Chuzzles, Super Chuzzles and Rainbow Chuzzles – they all have their own special effects and bonuses! I even managed to find a Rainbow Chuzzle which was wearing heart shaped sunglasses; I can tell that this game was going to be full of character.
Speed Chuzzle - play against the clock to match Chuzzles until time runs out;
Speed Chuzzle should only be used should you understand the rules of the game. With each game you have to beat the clock before they place a pad lock on your Chuzzle, and this means that you cannot move the connecting rows, either across or down, which in turn means that the game can end in disaster as each row and column is forced to stay where it is and you lose the game. Try and get rid of the padlocked Chuzzles by connecting them with the co-ordinating colours and have a chance at getting a higher score and moving onto the next level. Each level brings a quicker speed which you have to beat, and it also helps you to improve your reaction skills as you quickly scan for any matches that can be made to collect points.
Classic - match the Chuzzles and watch them pop to gain a high score;
Playing the classic mode is probably the best mode to start with. This allows you to get to grips with the games motive and to see what kind of unexpected challenges you will encounter within the other games. In this mode I was able to collect points and progress through levels, with each one getting slightly harder as the game continued. Once playing this mode I was able to see what Chuzzles I was up against and came along some quirky details. Leaving the game for a few minutes without touching the screen allows your Chuzzles to go to sleep. The Chuzzles close their eyes and
Mind Bender - solve the Chuzzle puzzles to match the pattern on screen;
The mind bender mode in the Chuzzles world helps you to increase your co-ordination skills and also lets you delve a little deeper into the strategic part of your brain. Forward planning is a must for this mode as you try to move the Chuzzles to fit with the puzzle laid out for you next to the Chuzzle grid. You have to exactly match the puzzle given to you in order to move onto the next one, increase your points by completing as many Chuzzle puzzles as you can.
Zen Chuzzle - a gentle endless game where you match Chuzzles to earn magical charms
The Zen Chuzzle is the never ending game of Chuzzles, in this one though you are able to collect more awards and I even received one for connecting 7 matching Chuzzles together. You are not put onto higher levels in this round, it is just a constant stream of Chuzzles, however this game will also allow you to get the hang of the game, and help you to master the Chuzzles movements in order to increase the chance of scoring higher points in the other modes.
This game can be played by all the family, and especially good for keeping you mind on the ball and active, I certainly felt more alert after playing this game. The key is to not get fooled by the Chuzzles appearance, they may be cute but they have a ferocious bite if need be. However the game does have its helpful ways. If the puzzle gets to the point where there are no available moves left you are allowed to use the Scramble option. You get two lives with this, which re-scrambles your Chuzzles so that you can continue to play, and should you get stuck there is always the Hint option, be careful though as you will lose points for using this.
Drawing conclusion Chuzzle is an excellent game, full of fun and addictive gameplay which I find hard to put down and available for both Palm OS and Windows Mobile from the Astraware website.
[From Eric Mann] A Treo can be a costly addiction as Rachel Barnhart at 13WHAM in New York explains, "I have an addiction.
To my Treo 750. I love it so much, I outfitted it with this red leather crocodile pattern flip cover case.
Yesterday, my beloved device died.
No e-mails, no text messages, no MySpace Mobile, no phone calls. I was out of business. The withdrawal started immediately.
Fortunately, my dad knocked on my door just as panic set in. He stopped by to fix my computer (a whole other story). I borrowed my dad’s cell phone (I don’t have a landline) and called my carrier’s toll-free line." Read in full.

I'm not much of a fan for BenQ mobile phones, and I know there are many of people out there who feel the same as me. It's probably because of BenQ mobile phone design is not as appealing as other famous mobile vendors, plus all of their mobile phones line-up are thick. But things are about to change now, their newest thin handset model that comes with minimalist design called the T60; is looking really tasty for today gadget consumers. Here's the quick specifications:
As promised, I am reporting from the road while I tour NY State Universities with my daughter. One of the applications I installed for the trip was Trip Boss by Creative Algorithms. Here is another Palm appliciation that promises to make your trip easier by allowing you to store your itineraries, expenses, and other trip-related information. When launched, you are presented with a number of tabs across the top representing itineraries, gas, hotel, and more. I created a new trip, College Visits, and began entering the various stops along the way. I quickly learned that while the program offers many ways to store the data, there isn't a connection between a lot of the data, requiring a lot of redundant data entry. For instance, if I enter a hotel in my itinerary, shouldn't I see that on my hotel page, and vice-versa? No, hotel expenses have to be entered from scratch on the hotel tab. And as I manually enter the distances between stops on my itinerary, shouldn't they be automatically entered on the mileage page? No, they have to be entered in manually.
I have a grey Treo 680 and Seidio extended battery if someone wishes to take this off my hands. 
I have a grey Unlocked Treo 680 and Seidio extended battery if someone wishes to take this off my hands. So if you want to take this off me then you know what to do. The first person that emails in following the guidelines gets it. I want you to send me a couple of lines on how your using your mobile devices and again it doesn't matter what device that you are using. Don't send something you have already sent and no personal plea's or self software or website mentions allowed. As I have mentioned in the past I really appreciate the people who add kind words to their me in their email, a small percentage of people just send their thought in without even saying hi or how are you, so your messages are always welcome. The first person to email me and follows the guidelines can take the Treo and extended battery off my hands and please put THURSDAY in the subject line. Email -

For the longest time, I've downloaded a lot of trial software for my various Palms, and more than half the time, I never go forward with the paid version because I find that I don't use it, or it isn't as useful as I thought it would be.
Not so with Palmary Clock Wireless. I only had the trial for 2 days when I ponied up for the registered version. I use the weather forecast a lot, and can even keep track of other locations easily. Since it's the wireless version, running on my Treo 700p, you can set automatic updates, or can manually update at any time. The timers and stopwatch are very handy and easy to use, as well as the moon phases, the world maps and the sunrise/sunset information by location.
The time features, including calculating real time in other timezones are more of the 'gee-whiz' kind of features, but not being a frequent world traveler, I could see it being handy for one who is. Although I haven't used it, the currency calculators sync real time when you do any updates.
The main screen can offer you either an analog or digital clock as skins. You also have the option to update to the atomic clock standard.
The monthly calendar is pleasant to view, and with a tap on any day, you can see a pop-up list of any appointments you ave on that day.
This software is a must-have, and fills my bill for useful, intuitive software for mobile users.

Well done Greg Smithson for being the winner yesterday, please confirm your email and come back to me. I will have a small throwaway in a short while.
Toolbox ToGo, the latest release from Iambic Software, has been all over the Palm/mobile tech blogs. As a result, I decided to download version 1.0, try it out, and report back to you. Toolbox ToGo allows you to easily make across the board formatting changes to your contacts database. For instance, over time your contacts database may have become full of phone numbers formatted various ways, parentheses around some area codes, some hyphens and some periods as separators - no matter how careful you are, eventually you will have a mix of formats as you acquire numbers from various sources. One of the features of Toolbox ToGo is the ability to globally reformat all numbers to a selected format.

today I'm using my treo to test out new software. I just downloaded yahoo GO to my treo 750 and Im liking it because of the option to view and write reviews for restaurant and other businesses. Then I downloaded the new aol my mobile. Its ok so far but running kind of slow. I'm probably going to stick with Yahoo to Go. So today I used my treo to see whats best for me.
Several minutes ago my wife sent me a message. She needed to withdraw some money using our ATM card and apparently she forgot the PIN Number. So she asked me for the number. Unfortunately I also forgot, because both of us had not used that ATM card for quite some time. Of course we could go to the bank to get the PIN Number reset. But it would take time, and it was getting late in the afternoon that the bank was already closing, while she needed the money fast.
A colleague of mine at the office brought a SONY Vaio VGN-UX280 with him yesterday. I found him playing with it. He was trying to connect to the company wifi connection to access the net. I must say, "Wow!" The device certainly looks nice. It is much smaller compared to regular laptop (that's why it is called UMPC, doh!), but thick enough compared to PDA. It runs Windows XP Pro. I certainly would like to have it run Linux instead :-) Anyway, the screen resolution is quite small, but certainly still readable.
Opera mini browser for mobile devices is now up to version 4.1 beta. This has been a popular browser on all sorts of mobile devices and I even have a version running on my Palm TX. Definitely makes web browsing more palatable compared to Blazer. The new update touts several enhancements including: 50% faster browsing, text search in webpage, save pages for offline viewing and auto-complete for web addresses. Remember this is a beta and is a Java application, so for some devices you will need to download a compatible Java runtime environment to run this thing. Catch the free download at the 
I just came back from a meeting. One of the meeting participants is a manager with a quite busy schedule, hence he could only attend the meeting for several minutes. He still needed to be there and he needed to present his instructions quickly. So he asked us to pay full attentions to his speech, not taking any notes at all. He said we could take notes of what he said afterwards, but we must not miss any points of his.
As a young lad, I never enjoyed reading much. I mean I never checked a book out of the library. My childhood was spent outside in the sun. It wasn't until I bought a PDA that I realized how satisfying the act of reading was. It seems my slow start has lit a fire under my belly and now routinely read two or three books simultaneously. I try to keep the type of books separate to avoid confusion. Right now I am enjoying the book "Betterr Off" by Eric Brende. Ironically it is the story about how the MIT graduate ditched technology and lived for 18 months in a primitive remote community that shuns electricity and modern conveniances like the car, refrigerators, and even running water. I'm not ready to go to that extreme but their observations are very insightful and even inspirational. It certainly gives me something to think about. Happy reading Y'all
We often get review device to play with and one of the devices we have that we received which we are giving away is a Motorola MOTO Q 9h. I'm doing things slightly different, instead of the first person to email me, I'll choose a winner at random at the end of today. Now I really liked the form factor of the Motorola MOTO Q 9h as regular readers will have remembered but saying that it was just short of some of the excellent features that make this a winner for me. So with that in mind, I want you to send me a couple of lines on how your using your mobile devices and again it doesn't matter what device that you are using. Don't send something you have already sent and no personal plea's or self software or website mentions allowed. As I have mentioned in the past I really appreciate the people who add kind words to their me in their email, a small percentage of people just send their thought in without even saying hi or how are you, so your messages are always welcome. As always I will choose someone at random at the end of the day, email me at 
Hi Sammy, I really enjoy the Palm Addicts website and the new ideas I am finding. It’s nice to be able to contribute to it too. Thanks! I have a portable keyboard from Palm that I have been using with my Palm m500 to type notes about my 2 kids. I use the keyboard when I plan to write a lot because it get’s tiring to use the stylus or the internal keyboard for long notes. I have been using “Memo” which came with my Palm.
Obviously our PalmAddict Reader Award for 2008 are well and truely open. 2007 winners
