Bapsoft released a new version of its popular game Bubble Pop for Palm OS handhelds. This addictive puzzle game requires you to empty the bubble tank by popping bubbles in groups of three or more. This is a timed exercise, so you have to be quick. The game has an auto save feature that lets you return to a puzzle at a later time, too, so you'll never have to worry about interruptions that come mid-game. You can get Bubble Pop version 2.0 now for $14.95 from the company's Web site. The game is compatible with devices that have a 320x320 pixel screen and run on Palm OS 5 or above.

TekSoft is offering two new pieces of software that will make it possible for you to connect a Bluetooth or USB mouse to your PDA. Although PDAs are mostly focused on mobility, and thus their users are accustomed to working without a mouse, there are some instances in which this functionality would be handy. You will need a device with a USB hot or a CF (Compact Flash) card slot to use this functionality. For CF users, TekSoft offers a SolarExpress CF Card that will enable the device to act like a USB host. Unfortunately, this leaves out many of the new PDAs that are more compact and nix the CF slot to save space. Thankfully, TekSoft has a Bluetooth option as well with a software driver called BlueInput that lets you connect a Bluetooth mouse. Pockenow.com has some videos to further demonstrate the functionality.
