Bejeweled Bundled with New Treo 680s


"Bejeweled is perfectly suited to gaming on the move — its one-handed play complements the capabilities of the Treo beautifully."

Following Palm, Inc.’s exciting announcement of the new Palm® Treo™ 680 smartphone, Astraware® is delighted to announce that they have Bejeweled®, the best-selling handheld game ever, bundled with the device.

Astraware is particularly pleased to include the award-winning* Bejeweled with the new Treo 680, as this continues a long relationship established with the Treo 600. Since that device every Treo smartphone has had an Astraware-developed game bundled with it. So far Zap! 2016, Cubis, Bejeweled, and Dynomite! have all received this honor.

It’s nice to see this particular tradition continuing – bundling a top-notch game with a high-profile new Palm Treo device.

I wish we would see more bundling – of full and even trial versions – of great mobile software on a lot of the more powerful new devices.  This would help to encourage newer users to discover some of the real potential of their devices!

While I agree that it would be nice to see more people unlocking the potential … I have to disagree with the trialware. Nothing irks me more than to get in good with a game or a program and then have it pop-up the “Sorry – Your trial has expired. Please visit haha_we_got_you.com to purchase the licensed version” …

Well, I was thinking of trialware that is clearly announced as such. I don’t have a prolem at all with a (small) list of apps that are full versions, and then a list of apps that are just ‘try it and see’. That way, we are not asking phone providers to subsidize too much and hike up the cost of the phones …
