More than 20 new Palm apps were announced at PalmSource today, but the ones that got the most attention were the four winners of PalmSource's Powered Up awards honoring innovative new products.
The ones most likely to appeal particularly to Treo users: SplashData's SplashBlog, a $30, super easy-to-use mobile blog where you can share images captured by the Treo's camera, which was recognized as best multimedia solution; and Stand Alone's Quick News, a $15 RSS reader with podcast support, which was named best wireless/over-the-air solution.
The Missing Sync, Mark/Space's $40 synching program for Mac users, won the award for best enterprise/productivity solution, but the application that clearly caught the imagination of reporters at a news conference was LDW Software's $20 Village Sim, winner of the game/entertainment solution prize. The app, from the same folks who brought you the Tamagotchi-esque Little Palm Pet, puts you in charge of a tribe of primitive people whom you must not only feed and house, but teach and guide as they explore their island habitat. There are puzzles to solve along the way--and even when your Palm is turned off, life in your little village goes on. So, when you return, things have changed. I'm looking forward to playing!
