webosroundup + preapptastic

New and exciting stuff – PreApptastic.com is merging with the fast growing webOS site www.webosroundup.com. There I will be continuing my webOS application reviews for everyone to benefit. If you have any questions, you can shoot on over to that website and send me a message. You can also email me at anthony@webosroundup.com if you have any questions or comments.

This is definitely an exciting move for me, for I feel this will lead to bigger and better things. The Preapptastic.com site will be moved to a different area for portfolio and archived purposes. So without further ado, please show some love and head on over to www.webosroundup.com. (Click on the banner to be re-directed)

preknowledge project (update)

April 17th 2010

Hey Everyone,

The ‘preknowledge project’ was a success, and I was able to create a small commercial video to reveal how webOS has affected people. I’m going to continue the project with a couple more tries and hopefully get some big competitors opinions too. There was one person who actually had a Palm Pre, but they didn’t want to comment on the camera – unfortunately. Plus I was able to come across a couple of iPhone users, but they insisted that they did not want to try the Palm Pre. Too bad, because my intentions were to only get their opinions, not convert them to a different phone – unless they want to.

The people that were on the video had little to no knowledge of what the Palm Pre was. They “heard” about it, but never had the opportunity to really play with it; maybe from poor salespeople. One person said she had a free upgrade coming and a Palm Pre brochure was mailed to her and she was considering buying the product. Every person asked pricing and availability and gave a good hint that they will research the phone soon.

Thanks again!

Ebay in the palm of your hands – SaleZ

Welcome to another edition of FreeApptastic, now including a new application that is (of course) free in Palm’s App Catalog – SaleZ. A small application that tries to fill in some big shoes by providing an easy to navigate user interface for EBay sales.


One step closer to visual voice mail – YouMail

One of the first phones to introduce visual voice mail is the Samsung Instinct. Not really categorized as a smart phone, but it did a fine job at mimicking one and toting fun against the iPhone. This left a lot of high profile smart phones out of the loop with only the default voice mail system; this required the customer to search and install their own voice mail system. Another hurdle that had to be overcame were the call forwarding charges, which required you to activate the conditional call forward feature and direct the caller to an alternate phone number. Even with the new Palm Pre, as Sprint’s flagship smartphone, offered only the default voice mail system that really plagued a lot of minds; “Why did a THAT phone get Visual Voicemail, and the Pre didn’t?”


An easier way to remember where you parked – Where’s My Car


Don’t you just hate it when you drive to some place, and the parking lot is just blanketed with cars? There’s different sections labeled with letters, numbers or colors; and each section has about 50 or more cars. Then you finish buying your stuff, the shopping bags are cutting the circulation in your hands and your feet are cramping from all that walking and the question hits you; “Where’s My Car?”
