If you have trouble keeping track of all your movies--whether on DVD or on your hard drive--this easy-to-master app will help save the day.

MovieManager launches a nicely sized window divided into three panes. The design is slightly different from the typically familiar e-mail client, and although not a lot of design panache is apparent, the look is functional and clear to understand. A short menu bar and only a few buttons on the toolbar make the app seem simplistic, but the bells and whistles are there and are essential, not over the top. One pane allows the user to … Read more

Sports Card Organizer Deluxe is a database program that allows users to keep track of the contents of their sports card collections. Although the program works fine, there are likely more sophisticated options to accomplish this task.

The program's interface looks very dated and is reminiscent of Windows 95. Not surprisingly, it's not particularly intuitive, and in general its layout feels somewhat cluttered and clunky. To its credit, the program does open with a brief explanation of its features, allowing users to get started without too much trouble. The program offers three different database templates for users to … Read more

Collectorz.com Game Collector provides users with a simple and efficient way of managing a video game library. Thanks to its simple way of collecting information and its highly readable results, anyone intent on keeping tabs on their games will love this program.

The program's interface is a little overwhelming at first, but its several different screens compacted together with many icons soon prove to each have a purpose and individually make game management easier. Users will want to take a long look at the Help file to ensure that they understand all the program's aspects. Users build … Read more

dB Organizer Deluxe allows users to create and manage databases with ease. The program contains a lot of features but is easy enough to be used by database novices.

The program's interface isn't particularly attractive and is a bit cluttered at first glance, but it's not difficult to figure out how to get started. dB organizer splits the database into a Table of Contents section and a Details section, showing a list of database entries on one side and detailed information about each one on the other. Users can add or edit information in the Details section … Read more

Books is a free tool that can help you organize your book collection, acting as a sort of iTunes for physical books. This "virtual card catalog" lets you classify all the books you own using predefined fields (like title, author, publication date, etc.) or you can create your own. Books also lets you track and store summaries, cover images, personal reviews and ratings, notes on multiple copies of a single book, and more--and it even helps you track a book's lending history. "Smart Lists" (similar to iTunes' Smart Playlists) let you group books by any … Read more

One of my favorite desktop applications is Evernote. It's a handy tool for clipping websites or partial web pages, making lists, keeping notes,and storing images which Evernote makes searchable. Evernote for Palm Pre was one of the first applications I downloaded from the App Catalog.

My experience so far has been disappointing. This isn't even version 1.0, however; it is version is 0.1.10, so I'll give them some slack for the lack of features. The main head-scratcher is the lack of zoom. Half of my notes in Evernote are images, either scans or … Read more

Let me just get this out of the way: The Palm App Catalog sucks. Give it time and there will be plenty to choose from, but right now there are only a few gems in there. I was at first eager and hopeful when I saw Classic, by MotionApps, which is an emulator and allows you to install any of the applications that were designed for Palm OS on webOS. It would make thousands of applications availble to Pre owners, but two things are keeping me from purchasing right now: the $30 price tag and the plethora of poor reviews. … Read more

With its professionally designed and visually appealing interface, ACDSee Pro makes a good first impression. While novice users might be overwhelmed initially, the tools to organize and view images proved easy to use.

This program's sleek interface looks sharp and well-designed. Four main areas dominate the screen. The middle section, and largest, is for thumbnails of your photographs and allows you to view an entire folder's worth of shots at once. The lower left side gives a larger preview of any thumbnail you click on, as well as a small graph of its color composition. Above this box … Read more
