P5CAD

Shareware CAD drawing program. Circles, ellipses, dimensions, etc. High end, but reported to be non-standard. By Andrew Duffield. www.duffy.force9.co.uk

Palette!

Freeware, Martin Guthrie. Use all the colours on your Series7, netBook or netPad...! Palette lets you use all 256 of the Psion's colours in Sketch - instead of just the 16 built-in ones. It is a separate app. but, once launched, this utility integrates so seamlessly with Sketch (we hope!) that it gives the appearance of being part of it. This is essential in making the 'hidden' colour capability of Sketch not just accessible, but usable for practical purposes, i.e. without requiring excessive user effort/time with stylus or keyboard. www.pscience5.net
