Info Pop-Up

All the information at the touch of a button.

You know the situation: You just want to cast a quick glance at the time, so you pull your Treo out of your pocket (or whereever you keep it), press the power button and—well, the default keyguard shows the time in some tiny font, that really isn’t suitable for a quick glance. Enter: Xtndr.

Or maybe you just want to check some vital information, such as an upcoming appointment, the battery charge of your Treo or whether there is unread e-mail in your inbox. Enter: Xtndr.

The Xtndr info pop-up provides you with all the information you need at a glance. And best of all, it’s configurable, so you can tailor it to your needs.

Launch Pad

Launch anything—anywhere—anytime.

Most of you will use more than five applications regularly. So why is it that you can only assign five applications to the Treo’s application buttons? Enter: Xtndr.

The Launch Pad gives you quick access to any number of applications that you want to use. And it’s simple at the same time! The Launch Pad is a fast and intuitive way of launching applications and it can even open Desk Accessories (DAs).

Special Characters

Don’t let your Treo dictate the way you’re writing.

Typing on the Treo has so far been a pain for many international users. Accented and other special characters are not available directly through the keyboard, so you had to resort to the list of characters, that would pop up when you pressed the Alt key. But not only is this list not customizable, it doesn’t even include many of the characters you’d need. Writing Danish or Norwegian? You were out of luck—there was no Ø character. Writing Icelanding? Nope, no Ð, ð, Þ or þ for you. Furthermore, those characters that are available by default, are often placed in an odd order. Why does á come before ä on a German Treo, when it is much less frequently used? Enter: Xtndr.

Xtndr allows you to completely customize the list of alternatives shown when you press the Alt key. You can even assign shortcuts to frequently used characters, so to type the letter þ you could simply type t, press the Alt key and then h. With Xtndr you’re finally free to type accented international characters and use special symbols and alternate character forms.

Other Goodies

What else is good about Xtndr.

You already know the major features of Xtndr, but this nice, little utility has even more: It also allows you to open the command bar that is otherwise inaccessible by pressing a combination of the Shift and Menu keys. It also allows you to instantly lock your Treo with a password by pressing the Option + Send key (the answer call button) combination.

The Bottom Line

So in short, Xtndr gives you a powerful replacement for the system keyguard that can display almost any information you’ll ever need to check, a flexible and fast way of launching any number of applications you can ever think of, simply the most powerful and customizable special and accented character input system ever seen on Palm OS and some more goodies, too!
