DON'T BUY BOTZAM BACKUP and DON'T SHOP AT PALMGEAR

I USED to be a big fan of both of these folks, but since they mistreated *my own mother* so badly, refused to answer any email and basically have stolen money without delivering the goods, all I can say is spare yourself the agony and wated money and time of dealing with these folks and shop elsewhere. MyTreo.net has been good so far. Let me know if anyone else has been mistreated by these guys and maybe we can have some sort of legal action brought against this theft.

I still have no reply from you and no reply from the developer. You have lost my business, and I will be letting my readers know of your unethical business practices. Fredlet

Comment: Hey guys, I have always recommended your site to people I have spoken to, but given the way my mother has been mistreated on one of her orders and the fact that she NEVER received any kind of a response from you or the developer (for Botzam Backup) and now her 30 bucks is wasted on a useless piece of software, I am not inclined to recommend you anymore. I will give you one last chance at a response, after that I will have to talk about my experience here on my reviews and correspondance and recommend someone else to buy software from... any chance at making this right?

Thanks, fredlet

Ask Jack | Technology | Guardian Unlimited Technology: "Mobile Skype Is there any Skype software for my Treo 600 phone, please? Clare Nesbitt JS: There is an 18-month-old petition asking Skype to support Palm devices at www.petitionspot.com, but there's no sign that it will. You could use EQO for Skype software (www.eqo.com), which connects a mobile to Skype but, as far as I can see, only via a PC. Also check out the iSkoot beta (www.iskoot.com). However, there may be better options. MobiVoIP (http://mobivoip.net) claims to have the first VoIP software for PalmOS, while UK-based Hampton Software offers Articulation (www.hamptonsoftware.co.uk)."

Actually, there is a version for the 650 but it uses a Java plugin that does nasty things to the phone. So tread carefully here. The Palm OS doesn't work terribly well with the Java stufff (well, in my experience, your mileage may vary)
