Hero of Sparta Review – webOSroundup

Click here to watch the video review at webOSroundup.com. I am a huge history buff…especially Roman and Greek history. This probably comes from the fact that my mother is a high school Latin teacher (this is her 40th year teaching by the way). As such, I have always been enthralled by the Spartans. Those kind of [...]

Top Stocks Review – webOSroundup

Click here to watch the video review at webOSroundup.com. Let’s face it, from an economic perspective, we are living in some crazy times. In the last 18 months or so we have had the most volatile stock market in about 80 years or so. If you are like a lot of people and sold every position you had, [...]

Need for Speed Undercover Review – webOSroundup

Click here to watch the video review at webOSroundup.com. When Palm announced at CES that they had a new framework for tapping into the GPU I was excited. When I played Asphalt 5 and saw the actual power of the little phone I had been carrying around for six months I started to drool. Now I [...]

Mobile War – webOSroundup

Click here to watch the video review at webOSroundup.com. Years ago (around 2001 – 2002) I created and ran a simple, text-based, online game called the Octagon. Originally it was a spreadsheet created by an Excel genius whose name was Charlie (can’t remember his last name at this point). I worked with him and helped him [...]

The Oregon Trail Review – webOSroundup

Click here to watch the video review at webOSroundup.com. “You have died of dysentery” These words have been a classic since the 70s (before I was even born). Oregon Trail has been around for what seems like forever. I had never played the previous iterations…not sure why. I have always been intrigued by a game that killed [...]

Shopping List Review – webOSroundup

Click here to watch the video review at webOSroundup.com. Well the Christmas season is finally over…my wife and I actually just took down all the decorations this evening in fact (an interesting task when you do it with a small child let me tell you). However, just because you are done buying Christmas presents doesn’t mean [...]

Asphalt 5 Review – webOSroundup

Click here to watch the video review at webOSroundup.com. Well today has been a pretty amazing day. It is the first full day of CES and Palm led the charge with an action packed keynote speech. Now the goal here isn’t to go over all the highlights (there were a lot), but there was one major [...]

Block Breaker Review – webOSroundup

Click here to watch the video review at webOSroundup.com. Arkanoid. I loved that game way back in the arcades where they had that knobby thing to control your paddle (you young whipper snappers can click here to learn what I am talking about). Over the years the game, like most other classics, has been rereleased in [...]

NewsRoom Review – webOSroundup

Click here to watch the video review at webOSroundup.com. The best way to start this little review is with a confession. I am a newsaholic. I consume a ridiculous number of websites of various subjects each and every day. When I am on the computer, my aggregator of choice for the last few years is Netvibes. [...]

MoreStocks Review – webOSroundup

Business users are one of the major targets of the Pre (and to a lesser extent the Pixi). As such, it is imperative that webOS has apps that cater to them. And what do a lot of businessmen and women do? They pay attention to the stock markets. So how do we cater to them? [...]
