The PDF file format is one important type of file we use and encounter everyday of our cyber lives.This has become one important tool in the all aspects these days. Huge companies, the government agencies and publications to name a few, use PDF format to distribute edocuments. These are usually ready for printing. A number of applications have mushroomed out of the market. These apps are smart programs that read these type of files. And the name Adobe will definitely ring a bell. Adobe Reader remains the leader in the PDF business. The UI provides an easy to use, easy to find tool and it is simply powerful. It can handle password protected documents. It also maintains the traditional features like cut and paste and text search. This reader has most of the same functions with the desktop version. Luckily it is offere as a free download for everyone. A definite must have, for PDA reliant users.

You know that you might get fired because of your constant tardiness but it’s just that, every morning you find it REAL hard to get up in your fluffy and comfortable bed, head to the bathroom and get cleaned up for work. Or perhaps you’re a busy man and you cannot anymore track time with all the meetings lined up for the day. How about getting some program that’s better than your secretary (just kidding!) when it comes to reminding you of your scheduled meetings? Yes, Oops I’m Late! is a new program that’ll persistently remind you of your scheduled meeting in the next hour or so. The notifications are based on the reminders and appointments you have keyed-in in your pocket PC. PLUS, it has a GPS tracker, so if the program senses that you’re not in the supposed location of your meeting, expect that it’ll buzz again and again and again (you can stop it though).
