REVIEW

Waht I really think...

"As far as I remember I started using Piloc for the first time, when I bought new Palm Vx in around 2000. Few years ago, I renewed my love to PDA devices buying Zire and LifeDrive last year. It was a very nice thing to discover that ..nothing really changed from that time - it''s still the best localization software created for palmone devices. It''s quick, unbreakable and I even forgot that it''s sitting there silently and doing its job without any problems every time I turn on my PDA. Amazing! The second application I''m using frequently is SlovoEd - the only dictionary on the market with "resident" function. You can check words for translation or spelling when running other applications in just two taps! It''s extremely easy to use and very well prepared. I would strongly recommend English-English dictionary, which has really impressive words database. In comparison with other things on the market (value/price) it''s really nice piece of software and one of the best investments I''ve ever made."

Realy good. Perfect integration with the Palm OS

"As soon as I got my first palmtop, I realized that I need an application that would let me enter national characters or see them in various documents. At that time I came across PiLoc from Paragon Software. I was really impressed with the perfect integration with the system. After a while you simply start to treat it and use it as a standard part of Palm OS. You can easily enter national characters using Graffiti area or virtual keyboard. What I like most is the ability to switch within 3 strokes between ISO, Windows or Mac coding systems. Now, after using PiLoc for over two years, I really recommend it as the must have application for anyone who needs national characters functionality on his palmtop"
