AT&T Pre Plus users: How’s your battery life?

May 31st 2010 | Posted by Dieter Bohn

 

In our AT&T Palm Pre Plus Review, we briefly touched on the battery life on the little GSM webOS wonder. Since then we’ve been finding that our battery life seems pretty decent. PreCentral reader Chris joined a small cast of people to email us to say that his experience with battery life is the same, which is to say pretty darn good.

Got us wondering that maybe, just maybe, the GSM variant of the Pre Plus does a slightly better job with battery life than its CDMA cousins. Even when I’m not using my extended battery for the Palm Pre, I’m getting a full day of light to medium usage. AT&T Palm Pre users: chime in!

GeoStrings gives you the ability to set location-based reminders that will alert you when you are close to a location where you need to perform a task. GeoStrings provides an elegant, intuitive interface with a plethora of advanced customization options including date/time filtering, day of the week alerting, customizable snooze settings and alarm notifications, custom wallpapers and background colors, as well as the ability to add multiple locations to a GeoString reminder. GeoStrings also automatically saves all of your reminders and locations into a searchable history list, as well as provides you the ability to define favorite reminders, locations, and custom location groups. GeoStrings also has a unique interactive help system built directly into the app. On any screen tap the “?” icon located at the top-right corner of the screen to view a series of help balloons that will give you a detailed description of all the screen’s hot spots. GeoStrings is a powerful tool you’ll use on a daily basis. It’ll forever change the way you manage your day-to-day tasks. In the past, people would tie strings on their fingers to remind them of their tasks. Today, leveraging the unique abilities of the webOS mobile platform, GeoStrings is your modern-day, location-aware string-on-your-finger that will never let you forget another task again. *** NEW IN VERSION 1.1.1: A newly designed notification system, on-device video tutorials, and much more.

TVCatchup beta looking to ensure UK TV fans never miss a beat

May 31st 2010 | Posted by Derek Kessler

Dr. Who

If you live in the United Kingdom and consider yourself to be a fan of British television, then we may very well have the ticket you’ve been looking for. TVCatchup is looking for Palm webOS beta testers for their live streaming service. Currently they have both an iPhone app by the same name that allows you to watch the UK’s top 15 channels live, and they’re looking to expand that service to modern smartphones including the webOS platform. Testing is expected to take only about 5-10 minutes, though you’ll be free to watch as much live streaming TV as you like. Wi-Fi and 3G will be required of all testers, as will UK residency. Time to put that brand new O2 Pre Plus to use, eh?

Thanks to Martin for the tip!
