Hey everyone, its been at least a year, maybe longer that I was really into my UX50. I've recently been tied up with my UMPC (UX180p), but I'm really looking forward for some suggestions as to some cool new apps that I've missed from not paying much attention to my UX50 for the last year or so. Specifically, I'm interested in apps that take advantages of the UX50's best features, things involving, the camera, bluetooth, wifi, and of course landscape mode. I'm not sure how exactly to explain what I'm looking for, I guess you could say I just want some neat/cool/interesting apps to play around with. And example is Verichat, an absolutely amazing AIM/MSN/Yahoo messenger for Palm OS, its a great application and works flawlessly with the UX50's wifi. So please, if anyone has any interesting/cool apps, I would love some suggestions! Another example: A program I recently downloaded called Salling Clicker. It lets you remotely control your media player and a few other parts of your computer via bluetooth or wifi. Also Palm VNC, all great and cool programs, I need more!
Also one other quick question. This one is a bit random, but I had a reeeally old Clie back in the day. I don't recall the exact name, it was taller then it was wide, had a flip around screen with built in keyboard, camera, but no built in wifi or bluetooth. Anyway, one of the very fun parts about that Clie was that the top mounted IR port was perfect for use with the included Universal Remote software. I could program all my TV's and simply use my PDA as my remote. However I've never had success doing the same thing with the UX50's IR port. Is it not powerful enough?
Edit: Come to think of it, an RSS app would be awesome, one that would be able to update via wifi. I've never seen one, but as I said, I've been out of the PDA loop for some time now, does such a thing exist?
