Seeing reviews and rating of local businesses and restaurants has become a staple in applications. It’s a great application and has a better user interface than most of the apps previously reviewed here that servce the same purpose. It’s social networking feature is great and stronger than most of the other apps and you can also recommend restaurants and businesses to your friends without leaving the application.

This Pre Application integrates seamlessly with its corresponding website. The coolest feature to me is that when you’re at your favorite local eatery - just by hitting the I’m here button from within the application people will be able to see where you are. That’s a great feature and can definitely aid you when it comes to meeting up with friends at those hard to find restaurants.

Mobile by Citysearch

admin — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 23:47:27 +0000

Similar to the “Where” application - this application helps you recognize businesses, cafes, restaurants, and stores by your location on your Palm Pre. Since it’s source is the Citysearch database you will find most businesses listed on this application. Owner descriptions and user reviews are available within the application as are their corresponding addresses, phone numbers, and hours of operation.

The user interface seems to be a little better than the “Where” application but where has a little more categories as you’ll notice. When it comes to food this application doesn’t rank with the Goodfood application which I highly rate. You can search from within all screens and also there are user reviews available within this application. Overall this is a great Palm Pre application and I’m sure we’ll see some more of it’s type in the next coming months.

Infopedia Application

If your phone doesn’t have a Wikipedia application then your phone is a brick. Infopedia is a great Wikipedia application for the Palm Pre. Although the application lacks a landscape mode, the articles and images are formatted delightfully. Similar to other Wiki apps you can browse current event, random articles, and it also supports bookmarking.

Unfortunately Palm didn’t integrate this application with their Launcher. Nevertheless this application is probably going to stay the #1 wikipedia application on the Palm Pre - so if you don’t already have it. Visit your app catalog and get it!

Where Application

Looking for businesses within the vicinity? The Where application uses your GPS to help you with that. Quite a popular application on most smartphones Where is integrated with Yelp! So not only do you get one of the best places directories but you also get user reviews along with it. When you open up the Palm Pre Application you’ll notice a set of categories and then it’s all you from there.

I love how within the application there is so much detail. Let’s say you wanted to see more on movies - the where application will show you everything you need to to know from closest theatres to trailers - without leaving the application. I highly recommend getting this application for your Palm Pre

Express Stocks Application

admin — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:15:10 +0000

So you’re a businessman looking for a Palm Pre Application to track your stocks and finances. Expess Stock is definitely the application for you as you can add symbols and stocks from exchanges in just about 8 different countries. It’s clean user interface is something I love about this application.

Some things that you may not like is that the stock feeds don’t automatically refresh, you cannot make your ticker move faster, and that advertising is present within the application. It’s a great application for simple uses but don’t expect to get too advanced with it.

Accuweather Application for Palm Pre

admin — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 17:50:48 +0000

The best Palm Pre Weather application is definitely Accuweather. Satellite and radar imagery are some of the advanced tools but I think I’ll stick to the basic weather forecast. Similar to other weather applications the default screen is the 5 day weather forcast which shows all the technicalities like dew point, and humidity, wind, sunrise/set. One tap on the bottom menu bar will reveal your hourly forecast.

This is one of my favorite things about Accuweather. It understands that we’re human so it has this setting called “RealFeel” which takes account the technicalities mentioned above and will show you the temperature of how it really feels outside. This application is great if you travel a lot and to be honest, I have yet to see a weather application as sophisticated as this one.

Launcher aka Universal Search

admin — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:28:22 +0000

One reason I’m falling in love more than ever with the Palm Pre is the easy usability of the phone. Built into the Palm Pre is a launcher or universal search application. Pretty much, just start typing form your homes screen and just like a Google Search results of applications or functions within your phone begin to pop-up right before your eyes.

The beauty of the Palm Pre Launcher application is the ease it searches through your entire phone. It goes through the setting, contacts, applications, and through every nook and cranny of your Pre. If for some reason you do not actually find what you’re looking for the Pre will prompt you on whether or not you would like to search using Wikipedia, Google, or even Googles popular map application. Pretty much with the way things are with this phone, 2 steps and your there. Only a few more days till I have a Palm Pre in my own hands.

Google Maps App

Everyday I wake up in the morning and I thank God and then I thank Google. Google Maps works great on the Palm Pre. The integrated GPS on the Palm Pre will show you location automatically and the application itself works absolutely seamlessly. You can choose between all three map views with satellite and regular map views by default. To enable traffic info just shimmy down to the bottom right and select the menu button.

Pretty much if you’ve used Google Maps before you’ll know how to use this application. It’s a great application for the Palm Pre and it’s pretty much standard now on any smart phone that wants to compete.

Calender App for Palm Pre

admin — Sun, 31 May 2009 20:06:17 +0000

For some reason the Pre and Facebook are very friendly. It makes me want to say, “WHAT ABOUT MYSPACE?” But on a serious note the Palm Pre’s integrated calender allows you to sync you Google, Facebook, and Outlook calendars straight into your phone. There are multiple views so that you can see your day in one simple view unifying all of your events and appointments from all of your calendars and bringing them together for you. Isn’t it lovely?

If you’re like me and like to be organized within organization this Palm Pre Application allows you to color code your calendars - maybe one for your business life and one for the wife, kids, and mistress?
