Cool Treo 700p Addons - Technology Evangelist

Reader Brandorr sent in a bunch of great Treo apps and addons that I think are worth mentioning. This is some great stuff, thank you Brandorr.

Treo Must Have:

YAHM, combined with FontSmoother and the Windows Tahoma 7 and 8 point fonts, make Blazer actually useful. (I show it to people and they want to buy the new Treo)
McPhling. This mini-launcher lets you set buttons to go back to the previous application, and another button to bring up a most recently used list of apps. (You can force certain apps to always show up or never show up... It supports apps on the sd card as well... Check it out it's free.
Ptunes deluxe upgrade.. - Streaming internet radio over EVDO rocks... If you get it setup try www.radioparadise.com. They have an amazing 192kbit MP3 stream that works flawlessly.
Docs to go premier... You get password protected office docs, a spellchecker, and the most important thing "PDF reflow", which reformats PDFs to fit the screen.
Splashblog photo blogging... I'm sure you know about this... if not check it out. It is awesome.
BackupBuddyVFS, and BackupBuddy.net (I have managed to put my new Treo into 4 neverending loops, playing with new software, that hsn't all been fully baked in on the 700p) The only recovery was a hard reset, which wipes your device.
TCPMP - allow you to view DiVX movies. Actually almost any format. It is an amazing piece of opensource software.
FileZ - ONe the the best file managers, works on internal files as well as external, also lets you view the palm internals.
Magic Button - This allows you to use the button on the 2-in-1 headset that comes with the Palm to control ptunes.

Honorable mentions:

quicknews - rss reader
EzRemote - Remote Desktop client
mergic ping - When you want to test your internet latency
pssh - ssh for treo
Directory assistant
Audible/AudibleAir - Audio Books (comes on 700p)

Hardware:

4GB SD card. Get one. You won't regret it.
Palm pen stylus. (This is the stylus where you can screw off the tip and use it as a pen)
bestskinsever.com skin... It is basically a thin polymer laminate that you can apply to the treo that makes it scratch resistent. It takes up no space and the Treo will still fit in any case you have.
Seidio 2-in-1 in ear soft ear buds... Great headset replacement
Seidio 2400mAH extended battery. Extends the battery life of the Treo by 33% (1800mAH standard). This really comes in handy if you are using chatter in push mode.

What the best and cheapest way to get full movie onto my palm 700p by way of dvd or whatever.
