Product Highlights
IDPalm allows you to modify the startup screen stored in the flash ROM of your palm connected organizer. This allows you to put your name, address, email, phone number, or any other information in a very visible place on the device. Unlike other applications which store user information in the RAM, IDPalm directly modifies the ROM image, making your changes semi-permanent. The registered version of IDPalm allows you to protect the screen with a password, which will prevent other users from being able to modify your device's screen.
  • Highly visible means of identifying your device
  • Permits 3 lines of customized text, using two fonts, with or without inversion
  • Password protect your customized screen to prevent unauthorized tampering
  • IDPalm is the only security application for the palm which has benefits that survive a hard reset or battery removal
  • Works with most flash compatible devices, include Palm III OS 3.0 English/German/French/Spanish, Palm III OS 3.3 English, Palm IIIx/V OS 3.1/3.3 English/German/French/Spanish/Italian, Palm III equivalent Workpad devices (contact me to add to this list!)
  • Distributed with SplashHack, which displays your ROM splash screen at each power on
  • Significantly increases the chance of a lost device being returned
IDPalm is not compatible with the Synapse Pager Card.
