Palm Pre Game Reviews: Dot Game Saves Millions of Trees, Planet

It’s true, the dot game and other games previously thought to be categorized as ecologically harmful to the planet (such as tic tac toe, hangman, or any other game that wastes paper and isn’t really that fun to play anyway) are making their way to devices like the Palm Pre, saving the planet one unused [...]

Palm Pre Games: Snake (epic pass)

Snake is a game where you control a ravenously hungry snake that for some reason will only eat little yellow balls (aka “noms”) (he must have been raised in captivity).

Logging In
Wondering what LikeMe’s site is?  It’s LikeMe.net.  If you’re Like Me, you probably did a google search for them [...]

Palm Pre Goes On Vacation: Travel Apps Reviews

Sorry for the drop off in posts, I’ve been away a bit on vacation. We drove from Provo Utah with an awkward shaped couch that we had to essentially partially load on top of the passenger’s head in order to fit it in the car we were taking, driving about 8 hours to Truckee [...]

Palm Pre Multi-Tasking: Navigation and Music

Using Palm Pre as a GPS (with Sprint Navigation) with Music player simultaneously is a beautiful thing. It is a great illustration on why webOS multi-tasking is so freaking awesome.
By now I’m sure you know that the Palm Pre offers real turn-by-turn GPS navigation. This navigation is designed for drivers, I haven’t figured [...]
