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). This snake will also get bigger and faster after every meal, so my estimate is that every second of playing the game equals roughly [...]

iPhone Nano: Chairman Mao Remix

Leave it up to the Chinese to achieve the impossible: remix a product that is only rumored to exist in the first place.
Actually, it is pretty common for knock-offs to hit the market before the real deal, suggesting that the iPhone Nano is under production. This shouldn’t be a shock since Apple filed a [...]

Palm Pre App Review: mCraig - the Craigslist App (Epic Pass)

Screwing up the craigslist app is kind of like screwing up canned stew for dinner: nearly impossible. I mean, sure, you can over cook it a little if you aren’t careful. With a concept and execution as simple and elegant as craigslist, making the app isn’t fois gras science (get it? fois gras [...]

Palm Pre App Review: Express Stocks (Pass)

The handset software company Handmark Inc. has created a well crafted app called Express Stocks. It’s a pass (on a scale of epic fail to epic pass), and almost approached epic pass were it not for how obtrusive and ugly the constant ad for Bank of America is, that essentially makes the app’s entire [...]

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 [...]

Palm Pre Email App Review

The Palm Pre comes with a pretty slick, yet somewhat anti-utilitarian email app. There are only a few anti-utilitarian features in it, so I’m going to file this with my praises.
Hint: For the best results when first syncing your email on your palm pre, sync your contacts first, especially if you want to sync [...]

Palm Pre vs. iPhone (part 1: One-Handed vs. Two Handed)

This post is praising the Palm Pre. Also check out my Palm Pre Complaints.
There is one difference between the Palm Pre and the iPhone that is becoming more and more obvious the more I use the Pre. The Palm Pre was designed to be a one handed phone while the iPhone was designed [...]
