  Palm Pre Core Functions: Contacts

  Contacts is another area where Palm’s Synergy really comes together for some useful features!  Again, I have contacts in several different locations, Facebook, Gmail, Outlook, Exchange, etc.  Some contacts are duplicated (I’m friends with my bosses on Facebook, and they are also listed in Exchange).  In this case the Pre figures that out and combines the information into one contact!  This also works out when you have some information in one place and more in another.  Like my friends who [...]

  Twitter Phishing attacks

  Is this you?? http://ReallyScaryLinkThatYouShouldNeverEverClickOnBecauseYouWillGetYourTwitterAccountHacked.com this is the Direct Message that has been tearing around the Twitterverse this week.  From what I hear (since I would never ever click the link) is that it will take you to a login page where you end up putting in your Twitter username and pass and then now they have it, and they use it to send DM’s to all of YOUR followers.  So there it is… someone telling you that you are in [...]

  Palm Pre Core Functions: Phone & Messaging

  It’s no secret that I’m 31 years old.  I did not text in high school (we had pagers back then and had to come up with crazy numerical codes for different messages!)  It is also no secret that my husband, also 31, texts more than a teenage girl does!  His phone is constantly beeping with texts. Since I didn’t grow up in the “texting” age, I don’t know how to do the T9 junk, so the HUGE benefit of this phone is [...]

  Palm Pre Apps I Wish I Needed

  This post is all about the 2 apps that I think look so darn cool it almost makes me want to need them…almost. A+ Student Organizer – This app truly makes me want to go back to school.  The hives I get when I think about returning to college cure me of that fairly quickly though.  When I was in school though, this is exactly what I would have wanted to use.  You can enter your different classes and then [...]
