In addition to helping me not to turn on the pda by accident, it was great when I had to use Audioplayer by turning of the screen and saving battery. Is there smething similar on the T3?

Then I discovered the hold button and it never happened again! __________________ Jack Swinden w5jck.com Blackberry Pearl, HP Mini 110, and iPod touch 1G

Hold the power button down for a few seconds to activate it and to turn the device off. Then, the only way to turn the device on is by using the power button, and tapping on 'Deactivate' when the dialog pops up on the screen. Hope this helps. __________________ MobiBeat \| PalmFocus \| Skins for Pocket Tunes \| T5 Software List

I have Never, 10 secs, and 60 secs listed as the options on my TT2. I believe PocketTunes also does this. I've never tried RealPlayer on my T2 as I don't want their interfering spyware installed on my PC.

RealOne player does the same thing, and you do not have to install the software of your PC to use RealOne on the handheld. Just remember to download the version for Linux, or here is a direct link to the PealOne Player - Palm OS 5 download page. Just select the Linux download for the ZIP file that only contains the Palm files.

Take care...

On the T3, RealOne player is installed in ROM.

The US models are designed to provide work for Brayder programmers working on JackSprat.

And while this is true yuou must first activate the Keylock feature in the Palm Preferences under 'Keylock.'
