Either way… if you are in the market for an app to help you learn something, anything really… then go get this app right now.
Ok, with that out of the way, lets get to the review…

So if you stepped away from the intertubes over the weekend and are just getting back into the swing of things, you may notice things look a little different around here. With all the changes and new faces around here, we decided that the site needed a new look to accommodate all of the extra content that we are delivering nowadays.
From the getgo, you can see that the front page is much more useful. Gone are the little tiny boxes that didn’t even show you the full title of a post. Also gone is the ginormous feature graphic that didn’t really do much except take up a whole lotta space. In place of that, we have created a space to let you see all the latest news, review, and tips. Furthermore, consuming the content (aka reading) is much easier now because, as you can see, we display them on the front page.
If you are a new reader, or someone who is looking for something specific, we have created a new page called Explore. This page is another way to get at the content you want quickly. Say you are looking for a new app for your phone but you don’t want to spend more than $5. You can visit the Explore page and click on the $1 – $5 category to get all of our reviews brought right to you. If you are interested in our editorial pieces or interviews, they are only a couple of clicks away. Now, of course, if you know exactly what you are looking for, we still have the good ole search in the upper right corner.
Another new feature is the Top Buzz box to the right. This is a live feed from appRoundup so you can see what apps are the hottest on the web. While this alone is pretty darn cool, this is just the beginning of our integration to appRoundup.
In all honesty, there are dozens of little changes here and there that we have made, and all of them have been done with the sole purpose of making webOSroundup even better than it has been in the past.
Now, we have been slaving away here trying to get all the wrinkles out, but there are sure to be a few that we have missed. So if you notice anything that looks a bit funky, or doesn’t seem right for one reason or another, please help us by shooting us an email and letting us know.
We hope that you are half as excited about the changes as we are. The coming days and weeks are going to be chock full of awesomeness: interviews, new contests, editorials, and, of course, more great reviews to help you pick the best apps for your phone. We hope that you will join us for the ride and spread the word!
Hey everyone, if you are visiting this weekend you may notice some funkiness. We are going to start pushing the new design in a few minutes and there are bound to be some rough edges when it comes to formatting and such.
We hope to have it all cleaned up and ready to go by Monday when we have our “Grand Opening”.
Hope you all like the new look.
Twitter returns with a vengeance! That is what an update will do for ya. Everyone is excited about the upcoming changes to Tweed and the new updates to Facebook.
Other than that we have some nice variety…games, readers, and some music apps. Just reinforces the fact that you can do just about anything with your Palm device.
It is official. Link can go home now, because the Triforce of Awesomeness is complete!!
Roy Sutton, the founder of the site Pre101.com is known for his great “news roundup” articles on his site, and he is now going to lend his considerable talents to webOSroundup. Combined with Dan Ramirez’s passion, webOSroundup becomes one step closer to meeting our goals of being the premier webOS and Palm fan site.
Roy will be joining the team as the news editor, and will be helping us stay on top of all the excitement of the Palm world. He will also help out on a lot of the behind the scenes work that goes on around here. So if you have been a fan of Roy’s work (and if you aren’t, you should be), keep an eye out because all of his great articles will soon be moseying on over to their new home here at webOSroundup.
I am also excited to announce that webOSroundup will be getting a new look and feel in the coming days and weeks. In an effort to reign in all of the talent that we have gained as of late, the site needs some love. The focus of the new design will be to provide you all with more content that is easier to consume.
As Dan has mentioned on Twitter, we have a lot of exciting news coming soon…this is really just the beginning. Stay tuned…
