Verizon & the App Catalog

Just a quick note to let you know that there appears to be issues with Verizon users downloading applications from the Palm App Catalog. I know Palm is looking into it. Hang in there - you’ll be able to download P2Snippets or P2Wardrobe soon.



P2GoogleVoice reaches end of life…
This is a special note that I knew I would have to write one day. Our P2GoogleVoice product has been in circulation only for 4 months and has over 150,000 downloads recorded. It turns out it was an application that people wanted for their Palm Pre and Palm Pixi. Sadly, we now need to discontinue development of the application.

During the life of P2GoogleVoice, Google changed their authentication scheme so we needed to release upgrades just to keep things working. We used it as a means to add additional functionality as well but once we were tied to Google and their system we were at their mercy. Now, Google has changed things again causing our text messaging from P2GoogleVoice to fail acquiring a secure session token until a new release is available. It's not bad news at all though - as you, our users, have a great and free alternative at your disposal. Google released their mobile web application which has all the functionality of P2GoogleVoice and it runs on any web capable PDA (including your Palm device). This means you can access Google's application and receive a consistent user experience no matter which phone you're using.

You can access the application at http://m.google.com/voice and I recommend you bookmark that URL and even add it to your Palm launcher for faster access. It was nice while it lasted but we need to concentrate on other applications for our corporate and community based customers for Windows and WebOs platforms. We haven't forgotten your support and we will be releasing some more applications for your Palm device soon.

In the meantime, don't forget, head on over to http://m.google.com/voice and use the official Google Voice application. One more thing - let's hear a big "THANK YOU" to Google for offering such as great service in the first place and I would also like to personally say "AN EVEN BIGGER THANK YOU!!" to you - all our users who supported us with feedback, suggestions and comments to help us make our applications better.

We look forward to hearing your feedback on our next range of applications. In the meantime, P2Snippets and P2Wardrobe will still remain available and supported.


WebOS 1.3.5 Released
...and it erases any cookies our applications use. Unfortunately we have no control over Palm's activities. Therefore, applications such P2GoogleVoice, P2Snippets and P2Wardrobe may have some of their preferences reset. You will need to re-enter or re-select some preferences to store the settings.


International Demonstration
Without giving too much away, Friday we were overseas demonstrating the anti money laundering system we're building to our clients. Needless to say - they were impressed and can't wait for delivery. Little sleep as it was party time while we stayed an extra night due to flight cancellations. Back in town we're ready to finish this beast...


P2Snippets v1.0.4 now available in the App Catalog !
P2Snippets v1.0.4 has passed Palm certification and is now on the App Catalog ready for you download and enjoy !


AML Solution underway!!!
Yes, you read it right. The anti money laundering system we've been commissioned to design and build for a global investment bank is well underway. Delivery slated for end of the year (fingers crossed)...

Beta program

Are you running a WebOS device? Are you a happy P2Labs application user/customer? Do you want to stay ahead of the curve and experiment with the latest releases from the Labs? Do you have FileCoaster installed on your Palm device? Well this might just make your day…

We’re looking for beta testers. Would you like to participate? Here’s how it works…

1. You ensure you have FileCoaster (downloaded from PalmCentral.net) installed so you can install beta releases of our applications when notified.
2. We add your name to the beta tester mailing list.
3. We publish beta releases to a secure area of our server.
4. We send out an announcement to all beta testers informing them of what is available.
5. You download the app you’re interested in and try it out reporting back your thoughts, comments, complaints & feedback.

This programme will be run for all WebOS products. This means you get your hands on paid applications for free as well. All we ask in return is that you provide feedback about the applications.

Here’s a sample of what’s in the pipe (this is referring to releases not even Palm is reviewing yet)...

P2GoogleVoice:
- Improved Google authentication
- Multiple Google Voice accounts
- History of events

P2Snippets:
- Collapsible groups (just like the standard email package)
- Send snippets to clipboard, email or SMS/IM

P2Wardrobe:
- Big and Tall Sizes

P2Xxxxxx:
- Can’t say too much about these but there’s about 3 or 4 apps on the drawing board. As a beta tester we may solicit a wish list of what you’d like to see in the app while it’s being designed. What say you? Interested? Drop us a line at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to apply now.
