Treo madness

I got a Treo for work a week ago. I will never, never go back to a dumb phone again. I'm madly in love with this thing.

And now, I present you with a list of palm apps I've found to be must-haves... or maybe just too cool to not have installed. (Sorry, I'm too lazy right now to link these apps to their respective sites.)

Chatopus	Jabber client. Works in the background. Does SSL.
Clicker (Salling)	Remote control your mac via Bluetooth. Wow factor++.
Converter	Quick conversions for hundreds of formats.
Dir Assist	Frontend for yp.com, much faster than using the web browser to get the same info. Integrated with the dialer.
Easy Calc	Scientific graphing calculator.
FileZ	File management deluxe.
FlyBackup	Automate palm flash backups to external SD card.
FlyZip	Keep prc files compressed - expands them transparently and automatically. Slick.
IPCalc+	IP calculator cheet sheet, because I require lots of pen and paper to do the equivalent.
LJP	NES/SNES/GameBoy/etc game emulator. Oh yeah!
mo:Blog	Blogging app that supports FTP upload and the MovableType protocol. Future version will support Atom.
P.Pitch	Guitar tuner.
PalmaSutra	Yeah, it's exactly what it sounds like. The funniest part about this app is that you can take notes on each position in its database. "This one was good.", "So was this one."
PalmVNC	Yup, VNC client. A little crashy, but functional.
pssh	Look at me, I'm a remote sysadmin. mutt and w3m even work. Probably the most useful app in this list. for me.
pTunes	mp3 player - even plays streaming internet radio. Smart enough to pause on an incoming call.
SiED	A decent text editor.
TCPMP	Video player - even does DivX. Really nice.
TealDoc	Decent DOC reader, with full screen and auto scroll.
Technician	Phone technician - does a load of stuff, but I only care about mp3 ringtones. I made my own, Good times.
VFSFTP+	Surprisingly full featured FTP client.

Am I missing any must-haves?
