On Startups - Internal vs. External Pressures

C. Enrique Ortiz Mobility Weblog

I’ve learned this the *hard way*. But remember that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger; never forget that. When building a startup, external forces are not the worst of

uLocate's WHERE launches on Palm Pre

Ric Ferraro's Blog

As of today, WHERE announced that it is live on the Palm Pre and is already the 5th most popular application in the App Catalogue. According to Pam Deziel, vice president, Developer Marketing, Palm, Inc. "WHERE is a best-in-class application that brings together local and social information in a compelling UI, and we believe that it will prove to be very popular with Pre users.” On the Pre, WHERE has been able to weave its local and personal content into webOS’s linked contacts, layered calendars, multitasking, notifications and of course its GPS capabilities to deliver a seamless real-world experience. For example, users can see the nearest gas stations to their location ranked by price, find local movies and insert show times into their calendar, or find the nearest Starbuck's with Wi-Fi access. You can find a shortened version of the press release below:"WHERE®, the premier location-based application from uLocate Communications, is available on the new Palm® Pre™ phone via the on-device beta App Catalog. Running on the new Palm webOS™ mobile platform, Pre brings together your important information from where it resides – on your phone, at your work or on the web – into one logical view.(1) WHERE is the ultimate local application for mobile devices. It quickly helps put the people, places and things consumers are looking for at their fingertips. Local content available through WHERE includes everything from the weather, news, and restaurant reviews, to the cheapest gas, movie show times, and the ability to connect with other users on the WHERE Wall™. Palm Pre is designed to make users’ lives easier by bringing them the people, events and information that they need all in one place. WHERE builds on this unique personalization to provide an exceptionally strong local and social experience to consumers.”We are thrilled to expand our availability to Palm users with this new and innovative application for the highly anticipated Pre phone”, said Walt Doyle , CEO of uLocate. “Palm has done a great job with webOS, and has allowed us to integrate the features that our consumers love about WHERE with the functions of the device such as calendar and contacts.

Remember The Peek?

Mopocket

Has anyone been paying attention to the Peek? This throwback device, sold with T-Mobile e-mail service and no voice, was largely dismissed as a solution in search of a problem.
