iSpin Lite is a PalmOS launcher with a set of incredible features. It is a replacement for the standard PalmOS launcher replacement. It not only launches standard PalmOS applications in the usual manner but goes far far beyond the standards when running iSpin-enhanced applications.
iSpin is a not only a launcher, but a "multi-tasking" run-time environment that runs iSpin-enhanced applications concurrently in a Windows-like manner.
See the developer's site for additional components, such as Windows conduit, themes, etc.
The commercial version of iSpin launcher adds more functionality. You will get:
* Resident mode, i.e. taskbar activation within external application (ARM-based handhelds only)
* Custom JPEG desktop background. You may choose a JPEG image from your card to be shown as desktop background (ARM-based handhelds only)
Note: This is the free version of iSpin. Click here for the commercial full version.

daboblli: how do u add programs to the desktop
hackslash: Looking for new ways to spruce up the aging Treo 650 and seeing everything else looking like an iPhone idea gone bad, I was pleasantly surprised by this interface..First time I loaded this launcher, I was asked if I wanted to make it the default launcher and just like Neo chosing the red pill in the Matrix, I clicked YES. For this choice I got cool windows look and feel environment. Navigation is a breeze. Especially the start menu options of choosing the last 5 app. and tab browsing. Now the bad.. I wasn't learning how to dodge bullets but.. when my Treo did a soft reset like it normally does when ever an application crashes it, not that this application was responsible for my crash, but on rebooting the application was missing and I was stuck with the old crappy look of a launcher. I had to reload to get it back as there is no icon that will initiate it from the Treo application screen. Love it anyway.
gerda1: After downloading this application to my Treo 650, I was not able to access any of my other applications!
hombrey: love it or hate it.for me this app:1. likes to piss on the grave of palm OS even if it isn't dead yet;2. tries too much to sound like a product made by apple; even though3. it struggles to be a windows look-alike; and4. ends up performing like brittney spears on a bad night
endofthewoods: It is what it says it is. I was not able to run programs from my sd card.
kimsumbry: THIS IS SO FREAKIN COOL!
Muckrat: the only problem i've had with it was you have tor pay to register it to be able to use all the features such as using your own images as background
elgori: FANTASTIC¡¡¡
PERFECT¡¡¡
COOL¡¡¡
I DOWNLOAD THIS PROGRAM IN MY TREO 650 AND IT WORKS AWESOME¡¡
IT LOOKS LIKE IF I HAVE ANOTHER WINDOWS COMPUTER, ALL MY FRIENDS ARE IN SHOCK
THIS DESERVES A 13 NOT A 10 ;)
Lloyd_Humph: How do you add programs to the "desktop?" cant seem to drag them in "My Palm"... all ideas appreciated.
Roxtar: how do you make it the defaul launcher? I have that option checked, but everytime I press my 'home' button, it goes back to the original Palm menu? thanks
