Food:
Vitamins and nutrients (Source: Oscar N-Gonzales) Detailed information and medical essays on more than 80 vitamins and nutrients. You can look up in-depth information for Vitamin A, D, E, etc. Plus a summary essay of what vitamins and nutrients are good for. Are you interested in seeing what is good for sleep, energy, and to prevent cancer?

The weather:
Travel Weather (Thanks to: Oliver Garcia) Displays weather statistics for about 130 cities worldwide. I've always felt that something like this should have been built into Psion's World application (like the dialling codes). It's useful for knowing the characteristics of each city. A spreadsheet is used for its graphical capabilities and for compactness. (As a technical note, the spreadsheet has been built on a special compression scheme - otherwise it would have become really huge. The numerical values are stored as strings where the ASCII codes represent the actual values. All this is invisible to the casual user). English and German versions listed below.

Surveying and navigation:
Bearing and distance calculations from co-ordinates (Thanks to Jim Gorrills) Allows you to store a database of reference points in an area on the spreadsheet. The co-ordinates are called from this area by simply entering the name of the reference point. The co-ordinates of other features are entered into the relevant area of the sheet and bearings and distances are displayed, calculated from the selected reference point
