Speaking on becoming the PIM king again. They could definitely improve categorization. They could improve their synergy by downloading google contacts categories, facebook lists (and even customization of which lists to synch with).

Regarding us Europeans getting games for free - that seem to exclude me at least ...

The App Catalog does not show Monopoly, The Sims nor NFSU at all, and when accessing them from PreWare I get "the blue screen of apps": This application is not available in your country.

I'm guessing you got a unlocked Pre?

Posted by autodidact on Fri, 12 Mar 2010 2:20 am EST

Yes, the German O2 device set up as English | UK with Norwegian locale/formats.

hmmm I'm remarking a lack of Pixiness in the PalmCast logo and thinking that an update is in order. I'm thinking that it should reflect at least the Pixi, as another Palm platform, if the aim is to represent all the current models. Arguably if the logo only reflects the flagship product for each platform, shouldn't that honor now pass to the Pre Plus and also necessitate a logo update? On the other hand I should just mind my business. Cheers!

Is there a way to watch video of the podcast? You mentioned people watching you record it. Also, how do you listen to it live?

@Dieter, in the end, you start to say about emailing you an audio file, but you are cut short by end of podcast (@ least on Dr Pordder). What gives? Are was that just a tease?

Posted by Nathan Mylott on Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:58 pm EST

Yeah what address do we email it to and what's the prize for embarrassing ourselves?

A couple of points from the podcast.

@ Dieter, the issue with the lock screen is a problem with Preware. It is well documented on the forums. On your email problems, it may well be down to gmail. I use exchange and don't find I have any issues with speed. It all works very nicely.

@ Derek, if any program takes 12 seconds to open on your Pre then there is a problem with it. The splash card is an excellent addition as it both confirms that something is happening and gives the impression that the app is opening more quickly. Overall though, everything runs much faster under 1.4. Programs open more quickly and the interface is much smoother.

very nice blog number one topic. I'm thinking that it should reflect at least the Alem Sohbet Pixi, as another Palm platform, if the aim is to represent all the Sohbet kanallar? current models. Arguably if the logo only reflects the sohbet siteleri flagship product for each platform, shouldn't that honor now pass to the Pre Plus and also necessitate a Sohbet odalar? logo update? On the other hand I should just mind my sohbet adresi business.
