Daily Quote 2 - Custom Quote Databases

Palm Daily QuotePalm Daily Quote, updated yesterday to Version 2 by Tamoggemon Software, has a lot of neat features, but my favourite is: it allows you to use custom quote databases. This means you have several different options if you decide you want to replace the built-in quote database.

Download a Custom Quote Database
By far the easiest and most versatile option is, I think, to simply download a new quote database. Tamoggemon Software has given Daily Quote a page dedicated to additional quote databases, created and submitted by users of Daily Quote. You can even create your own custom quote database (more on this option below). If you do create your own custom quote database, I would encourage you to share it with others. In fact, one of the things I find most interesting about the Daily Quote user submitted databases page is that 3 of the 4 custom databases currently available were submitted by members of the Canuck-PDA community! Here’s a list of the currently available custom quote databases on the Palm Daily Quote site:

I have not found any other locations that provide custom quote databases for Daily Quote, but I’m sure they must exist, even if they only provide one persons custom quote databases. Let us know if you know of any.

Create Your Own Custom Quote Database.
One of the really nice things about all the Tamoggemon Software products is that they include a 14 day free trial. Therefore you don’t even have to own Daily Quote to be able to create your own custom quote database. Simply use the trial version. This lets you sample the full range of features included in Daily Quote, including using your own quote database for 14 days. In fact, I used the trial version to create both of the quote databases available above.

UPDATE: "daver" has created a thread on our Discussions Forums, about custom Daily Quote databases. Check it out here!
