WordSmith
Many people use WordSmith to sync Office documents between their PC and Clie. I don't use it for that
very much; I mainly use it to edit my notes, because it has a full-screen display, and you can customize the fonts.
It can convert any Windows font to be used in WordSmith on the Clie.

Quickoffice
Before I got WordSmith, I used to use Quickword. I came to prefer WordSmith because of the extensive fomatting
options, but a lot of people use Quickoffice because it is a complete office suite, including a spreadsheet.
It also supports full-screen.

Bump Attack Pinball
This pinball game by Iambic Software supports full-screen and hi-res. It's the best-looking
game I've seen yet on the NR-70, with very lifelike pinball action.
However, Iambic charges previous customers for incremental upgrades
to this program. If you're thinking of buying this program, consider whether you'll want to pay for minor upgrades.

X-Master
A hack manager, an essential program for any pre-OS5 Palm device.
The hacks I use are:
-- FontHack123, which allows you to change system fonts
-- AutoShiftHack, which eliminates the annoying Palm OS default of capitalizing the first letter of each line in a memo
-- PageDownHack, which lets you assign system button presses to areas of the status bar, useful when the NR-70 is in tablet mode
-- NRKeyRotate Hack, which lets you bypass the function key to type numbers on the keyboard; two key presses change the key value from the assigned
letter to the function value
These and other hacks can be downloaded at palmgear.com.
