Newpen - Palm life without silkscreen?

 

Newpen allow us to use screen as graffiti area instead of silkscreen. This is usable when you want to input text in the dark area and you can not see silkscreen, silkscreen is hide by active graffiti, no silkscreen device like Handspring Treo. I hope there is a small palm device that has no silkscreen and keyboard :)

This application works on PalmOS 3.5 or later devices.

You can download from here

Installation

Download Newpen14.zip from above link, unzip it and install Newpen.prc into your palm device.

Unstallation

Before you uninstall Newpen, be sure to disable Newpen and remove check from Command Bar Support and make a soft reset.

Usage

Tap Newpen icon from the launcher to execute this application. Tapping "Enable" button enables Newton functionality. If you check Command Bar Support checkbox, you can enable/disable newpen from another application.

               

When newpen is enabled, Graffiti input on screen will start with following two methods:

Cute sound playbacks when Graffiti input on screen becomes enable/disable. When graffiti input is enabled, rectangle frame is drawn around a Graffiti Shift Indicator. Tapping 0.5 or more seconds without moving pen passes penDown/penUp event as default behavior. With this feature, you can select a text field.

                   

               

Left side of screen is for alphabet and right side is for numeric input like silkscreen. Single tap does not recognized as a start of punctuation mark by default. This allow you to change text insertion point by single tap. Straight line from lower-right to upper left activates punctuation shift. If you want to write "dot", write this stroke twice.

Memo

If you are checking the option that disable hacks on HotSync and have a problem on HotSync, disable this option.
