Teeny Little Sims for Your Treo

There are hundreds of ways to entertain yourself on your Treo after “business” hours. Today I want to tell you a bit about one of my favorites — The Village Sim by the good folks at Last Day of Work Software.

The concept is that you have this tiny island, and a few shipwrecked sims — who know NOTHING about survival and then you teach them how to –

feed themselves, heal themselves, have babies to populate the island, build new housing, even carve statues, bury the dead and grow a garden. The list goes on, but I don’t want to spoil it for you.

I love it. It’s a great little program, keeps me (a confirmed Sims 2 University fanatic) happy and occupied while I’m on the road and between business tasks.

If you like simmie games, get this one for your Treo. They are adorable. The program is great and the folks at LDW are the best! They respond quickly and completely to any questions, comments and suggestions.

Now go… have fun and waste a bit of time!

Today, there are literally thousands of options for software, hardware, and accessories with this type of tool. It becomes a real challenge and is incredibly time consuming to make these choices. After consulting with many agents and brokers over the last five years, I’ve undertaken this Treo project to make the process easier for my own clients, for other real estate professionals, and for those interested in mobile solutions.

WickedTreo.com’s launch is just the beginning, the site will grow with frequent updates, a discussion area and responses to direct questions from visitors.” Based in Kentucky, Parker works as a marketing consultant and freelance writer providing web content, marketing assistance and business advice for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and individuals worldwide. “This site enables me to bring together the benefit of my experience as a business and marketing consultant, my writing skills, and my belief that mobility is the key to expanding the capabilities of industries such as real estate and other small business and entrepreneurial endeavors.”

The one thing that my son’s Tungsten C has, that my Treo doesn’t (besides a slightly larger display) is wi-fi access. He’s sitting on the couch, cruising the web while I’m lugging a laptop to do so.

I just happen to live in one of those areas in the knobland of Kentucky that, although beautiful, it’s nearly impossible to get a cell signal sitting on my couch. And, the wi-fi is so much FASTER! He can cruise the web like lightening compared to data service speeds.

What can I say, I’m jealous! But soon, a new product will be released to fix that envy.

[more]

Enfora is introducing a “Wi-Fi Sled” for both the Treo 600 and the Treo 650. Their own website www.enfora.com (Update 4/2011 – link no longer works) gives all the details.

The extra add-on will run about $150. Personally, I can’t wait!
