surely it could be removed...may take alittle trial and error. its probably merely a reg edit.

No it's not Treo based (that options works for the 6700 as well).

Though you are correct about using a software app to soft reset and saving changes to the registry.

Sure it is possible to do a physical soft-reset and still have your changes saved but it is recommended by many to use a 3rd party app as it seems to use a different method. YMMV.

Have you tried minimizing iLauncher?

Not if you have a 700w/wx or 750.

The Reset button is near the battery e.g. you have to remove the battery cover to soft reset.

That's a standard Palm thing. Seidio even make some $$ by releasing a battery cover with a pre-drilled hole to stick in the stylus.

On the Treo 750 the reset button is located behind the flap of the mini-SD. So you don't have to remove the batterycover. That is a big improvement over previous Treos.

I tried removing all the tabs, but it still shows about a ten pixel high area on my today screen. Like Mike mentioned I could find a reg edit that would take care of it. But this is my main phone, so I don't want to dig that deep into it.

I like this, and was wondering when someone would come up with it. I was all most ready to drill a hole in my battery cover. Thanks Hannip and Malatesta yall saved me a little work with this one.

Thank you. I have been looking for an app which would only install a soft reset option! This is wonderful and small. Cheers
