Torah Tidbits in the PALM of your hand - Technology serving Torah

The amount of Jewish software for the Palm is increasing almost day by day, but the premier web site for the Jewish Palm-er is still PilotYid at www.pilotyid.com

The best thing is to go to the site, put your email address on their list to receive announcements of new software and browse the site well. 
You will discover a software collection which includes calendar programs, many texts in Hebrew (Hebrew support required – and available for downloading from penticon), a large assortment of English texts (as well as transliterated from Hebrew) that do not require Hebrew support, various games and simulations, useful utilities, and other kinds of programs helpful in handling the text files. There's more, so go to the site and check it out yourselves.

Some of the programs are shareware, which means you are expected to pay for them if you use them beyond an evaluation period. Others are freeware, which means that they are FREE. 

Two files that have recently caught my interest are Rambam's 613 mitzvot and the Ezras Torah calendar. The former is really two files, readable by TealDoc and other readers – one that list the Taryag mitzvot by positives and prohibitions and the other that lists them according to the order of Rambam's Mishne Torah. Either makes good review and reading on the bus or standing in line at the bank or post office. The latter is a Palm-version of the well-known wall calendar for shuls and schools. (The calendar is regrettably missing certain dates and information, especially in the month of Iyar.) 

Weekday davening and benching are among the available texts. There are many useful links from the PilotYid site, and a nice "shopping area" as well.
