Minutes PLUS is a powerful tool to monitor and estimate phone usage and
provide useful calling pattern statistics. Users familiar with
the previous version called Minute Counter will recognize some features,
but Minutes PLUS has so much more!
Below are some example data screens. These are just examples, as you can
now fully CUSTOMIZE the way Minutes PLUS shows data!

An overview of the major features (IMPORTANT! Treo
users note the features that are only available on Kyocera phones):
-
Completely configurable to match most carriers' calling plans
-
User definable screens with dozens of fields of calculated data
available to put in any arrangement you like.
-
Track minutes used and overage costs for Peak, OffPeak, Weekend, Data,
Roaming, and Mobile to Mobile (single number or group).
-
Track high speed "3G" data if your carrier counts this type of data as Minutes.
(Kyocera 7135 ONLY)
-
Track SMS (Text Messages), both incoming and outgoing. (Kyocera phones ONLY)
-
Exclude calls to "free" numbers.
-
Estimate period-end usage and costs.
-
Accounts for Holidays, can add common US and Canadian holidays automatically.
-
Can handle carriers that "split" calls between peak and off-peak.
-
Calculate calling statistics for any number of individual phone numbers or
Address Book categories, export the results.
-
Set up Alarms to alert you when you are getting close to your category limits
(Kyocera only).
-
Adjustments screen to account for other phones' usage in multi-phone share
plans and other discrepancies
-
Beam your minutes for any period to other Smartphone users' shared
adjustments. This way, 2 or more Palm phones on a shared minutes plan can
keep a more accurate tally of the entire plan's usage.
-
View any previous period's data as far back as the call history has
records.
-
Show statistics for all the call history data stored on the device.
-
Export any period's call history into ASCII format suitable for importing
into desktop applications. Uses Memo application records for the transfer
of this data to the desktop.
-
Override the maximum number call records kept beyond what the Call
History application allows.
-
Configurable colors and fonts (where supported by hardware).
-
Imports preferences and data from Minute Counter, if installed.

AFTER Minutes Plus is installed. Plus, these are Kyocera-only
features!

- Added a new Drill mode to concentrate practice on certain types of hands.
A new Actions menu choice, "Drill Mode", presents four (4) options:
"All Cards, No Drill", "Splits Only", Soft Hands Only", and "Hard Hands Only".
If any of the modes other than No Drill are selected, a small label appears
on the main screen, and the behavior of the players initial hand are as follows:
Splits: 1st card comes from deck, next card is just a duplicate of this one, not
from the deck. Further split possibilities are by chance only.
Soft: Draws 1st card from deck, if ace draw next one normally. If 1st card is NOT
ace, put in fake ace (not from deck) for 2nd card. Take all remaining cards,
including aces, from deck normally. This mode will also naturally tend to produce
lots of bogus Blackjacks!
Hard: Skip all drawn aces. If 2nd card is duplicate of 1st, ignore until a different
one is reached.
The Drill Mode is saved from one session to the next until you change it. Obviously,
these drill modes mess with the "randomness" of the cards since some cards are fakes
not drawn from the shoe. So it'd be best to ignore your "luck" in winning or losing
in this case. It's meant to be a practice mode to see if you can quickly make the
right plays in a certain area that may be harder to remember than others (like soft
doubling, etc).
- Added some simple statistics to track correct basic strategy play. Tallies are kept
for total number of decision opportunities (plays) for splits, soft hands, hard hands,
and total. Incorrect counts for each instance and type are kept as well, regardless of
whether you have the preference selected to warn on bad play. You can view the current
stats by selecting "Show Stats" from the Action menu. You can reset these to 0 while
viewing the stats, or select "Reset Stats" from the Action menu. Stats are also reset
when you select and confirm "New Game" from the menu. Stats are retained when you exit
the application and reloaded when you return.
- Added Some buttons on New Game/Change Bet screen to increment/decrement bet by $5 or $10.
- Fix for Up and Down rocker on 5-Way navs not working on play action & tables screens.
- Fixed for spurious negative signs in display of cash amounts like $-999 to $-100 and $-999,999 to $-100,000.

Great all around Smartphone information and the best discussion boards going
for the 7135 and 6035, in addition to many other brands!
Palm Developer Pages
I get a lot of questions about how to write Palm apps, tools to use, etc. This
is the place to start - zillions of docs and links to get you going.
FreewarePalm
Tons of software, all FREE!
Palmgear,
Handango , Palm Boulevard ,
Tucows PDA
These sites are some of the popular standards for info and downloads of Palm
shareware & freeware.
I make no guarantees with regard to the usability of these applications. If
you would like to make suggestions or comments, feel free to email the link
below. I'd like to continue to improve these where needed and if I get
sufficient requests will consider them, but since this is a spare time hobby, I
can make no promises.
