You create a database, create what fields you want and choose the type of fields they are, then place them on the form where you want them to appear in however many tabs you desire, all through a very simple GUI. There is nothing like it on any other mobile device that I have seen. Even on the desktop, a program like this would be amazing. I have created some very useful databases using this program. I have been trying to make do with OpenOffice spreadsheets since I moved to the N900 which is definitely a big step down.

And that is just one example.
I'm delighted to see your example. Of course, "most of them aren't worth running" doesn't imply ANYTHING about the others except that they ARE worth running. So how I would be implying that there aren't good or killer Palm OS applications is beyond me.
