Mostly gadgets, but I'll occassionally get sidetracked...

Fakecall 1.3 and Buzzoff 1.5

What will they think of next.  Checking out some utilities and apps put out by Toysoft Development, Inc.  Two programs caught my eye.  Too bad they are for the Palm Treo.

Fake Call is a program that is intended to give Treo owners a way to escape impromptu office meetings and unwanted social interactions using the Treo -- by simulating incoming phone calls! With your phone in your pocket, press and hold a hard key or setup an appointment in the Contacts application and voila! A call will materialize from anyone you want, your phone will light up like a Christmas tree, your favorite ringtone will sound and, when you accept your fake call, an active call screen identical to a real one will display and a voice will be heard on the other end of the line! This program is a true escape from any unwanted situation!

I can think of a lot of interesting times that may come in handy. 

Have you ever wanted to block annoying callers, marketers, unknown callers, your boss, friends or even family members? Ever wanted to be left alone and enjoy the peace and quiet times? Now you can with BuzzOff™. BuzzOff™ will monitor all incoming calls and SMS and will apply the filters that you have setup to use. If you choose, a logfile will be created for blocked calls.
You can block callers by their phone number, any digit in the phone number, area code, a from and to time to filter the caller, the day of the week from Sunday to Saturday to filter the caller.
BuzzOff™ is simple to use and yet powerful and flexible to keep you in control of who can call you and when.

Time to do some googling to see if I can find similar programs for the Pocket PC.
