From the get go, we knew that Palm had an uphill battle to get apps into its App Catalog. Not an easy task when you have a brand spanking new mobile OS, yes, you guessed it, webOS. And other platforms having the upper hand with the number of apps doesn’t help either. All this – it would appear – is about to change.
The flow of new apps into Palm head quarters has been overwhelming, and many developers have been submitting their applications for consideration. Unfortunately, for them and for Pre owners, they never got a response, and some developers have wonder about the status of their submission. The problem is that there have been so many apps submitted that Palm is having trouble keeping up.
But they finally got a response via Palm’s developer discussion boards from none other than Palm Developer Community Manager Chuq Von Rospach, who posted the following:
Mobile-nova has unboxed the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 (Rachael), and taken a hand full of pictures. Nothing close up so I’m a little sceptical. The unit doesn’t quite look finished but have a look through the pictures and see what you make of it:
Spb Quad is about as simple as it gets when it comes to puzzle game. Much like Bejeweled, Quads relies on you ability to spot a combination quickly and plot ahead for higher scores. Of course you can just play it blindly and hope for the best as most do in Bejeweled. There are a whole host of simple little arcade puzzles but non come quite so close to the brilliance of Bejeweled.
Carphone Warehouse staff are "rigging" mystery shop customer feedback after claims customers are deliberately scoring them low marks, resulting in loss of bonuses.
Carphone Warehouse removed its staff commission scheme in July, replacing it with a higher monthly wage and target-related bonus earnings.
Stores must also achieve a minimum of 80 per cent from its internal mystery shopper scheme, ‘World Class Service’ (WCS).
Look at those prices! £1.20 a minute. Admittedly, networks are making an effort when it comes to EU calling, but if you plan on venturing further afield then you are going to wince to find out just how much you are going to be charged to call home to whisper goodnight to your child when you arrive at the other end.
A press release was issued by O2 announcing the Palm Pre was to be launched on the 16th of October. There is information online of tariffs shown above and later in this post. Best value looks to rope you into a 24 months contract. Have a read:

I have just stumbled on a fantastic piece of software for Windows Mobile 6.5
Its called “Tell Me” from Microsoft and will allow you to carry out many tasks using only your voice!
Microsoft
I think the best two features of “Tell Me” are the voice to text messaging and voice activated dialling. I will be able to text while driving!
In addition you can say pretty much anything to your phone and “Tell Me” will look for it using the Internet.
“Tell Me” looks absolutely amazing and there is already a beta version for Blackberry available.
If anyone has the chance to try it before I do on WinMo 6.5 please use the forum to air your thoughts. I await eagerly!
Full details can be found at www.tellme.com/you including a video.
