Mobile by Citysearch

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.

LinkedIn Application

It would make more sense to sync your contacts from Linked in rather than Facebook - but until that day….We’ll just have to be happy with the LinkedIn application for the palm pre. You can see your contacts from your LinkedIn profle on it so you’ll always have your important business/web contacts!

With just a glance you can view peoples positions and company. Sending a connection request is also made relatively easy since you can do it from any screen. I also love the fact that it integrates seamlessly with LinkedIn’s built in messaging service. If you don’t live on LinkedIn and you’re just a standard user you’ll find this useful. If you’re a hardcore LinkedIn fanatic you may be left desiring.

Goodfood Application

Are you looking for an application to help you handle your uncontrollable munchies? Or maybe something to help you find a place where you can take your chums to brunch? Either of these can be solved with ease thans to the Palm Pres Goodfood Application. Whatever your taste is, the Goodfood application assists you in locating the closesnt food spots and is also linked to a social networking site that allows you to view ratings, pricing, and locations.

When you first open the application it will reveal to you the closest spots to eat according to your location. From there you can narrow the results based on distance, ratings, and price. My favorite part is that if someone else has eaten there before you and took pictures of their meal - you can actually view it within the application. So if the portions seem skimpy and overpriced you can avoid that eatery. Also within the application is the ability to leave comments and reviews for restaurants that you visit.

Palm Pre Twitter Application - Tweed

admin — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 17:30:11 +0000

Tweed is a Palm Pre Application for Twitter. It’s simple to Tweet with it some I’m not going to talk about that. But you can easily switch between fonts and font sizes, browse through the hottest twitter trends and search Twitter easily. You also have the power to choose what tweets to look out by filtering Tweets to only look at your replies and direct messages.

Tweed notifies you by popping up at the bottom of the screen. It’s simple to use Tweed and this is cool. If you’re borderline about Twitter still, you can download Tweed from the App catalog and actually just browse through and search Twitter without having your own Twitter account. It’s a great Palm Pre Application and I highly recommend it.

Messaging App for the Palm Pre

admin — Sun, 31 May 2009 20:25:52 +0000

WebOS new synergy feature is best showcased within the Palm Pre’s messaging application. Whether you’re chatting with a contact via text message, instant message or by email the Messaging application will pull the information and show it according to date. Say you’re instant messaging your girlfriend, and then she leaves the house - you can start texting her from within the Messaging app without having to switch at al. All in one area. It’s a beautiful thing.

The Messaging app is integrated into other applications which deal with Contacts - such as your Contacts app itself and your Email. With this integration you can see whether someone is available to chat and begin an instant message with them right from within the contact or the emails app.

Palm Pre Contacts App

admin — Sun, 31 May 2009 19:59:55 +0000

One thing I loved about Android phones where how they synced with your Google contacts with ease. Well, the Palm Pre does that and a little bit more of course. Not only can you sync your Pre with your Google contacts, but you also have the versatility of syncing it with your Microsoft Exchange account or even your Facebook account. So what happens if you have doubles? You can choose whether or not you would like to remove a contact or you can actually even merge the contacts to form one. If that doesn’t suit you you can choose to set one as a secondary profile, and one as a primary.

The only downside to this feature is that you cannot choose which Gmail contacts or Facebook contacts you want to be imported. Pretty much it’s an all or nothing thing - so hopefully you are buddy buddy with all of your friends. Besides that - this is definitely one of the top Contacts feature on any phone to date and I’m excited to test it out in a few days!

Email Application

By now we all know that it’s essential to email integrated with your cell phone. The Palm Pre’s email application is very sophisticated as it can be synced with Yahoo Mail, Gmail, Outlook and many other email accounts. Setting it up is quite simple all you have to do is enter your login details. The configuration of Outlook on the Palm Pre is a little more advanced as it enables you to view multiple email inboxes from one screen. Navigation is actually quite simple - the Palm Pre seems to make everything quite easy.

Moving between your personal life and your business agendas is made quite simple with the Palm Pre as it integrated your email and your calendar. If you’ve set up your contact information the email app will take the picture from the said contact and associate the photo with their email address. For quicker navigation there is also a nav bar towards the bottom of this Palm Pre Application.
