Palm Adds a New CFO

Palm announced that Douglas C. Jeffries will be replacing current CFO Andy Brown in January of 2009.  Andy Brown will be staying on until the end of January to help with the transition.  Doug (yes, we are on a first name basis.) was the chief accounting officer for eBay before accepting this position with Palm.  So, what does all of this mean?  Well, last time I checked, eBay was pretty successful.  Hopefully, some of that new success will rub off on Palm for the future.  First the scheduled big announcement at CES, and now a new executive; maybe Palm is serious about being a force in the mobile world.  I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Review: Concrete Software’s Aces Mahjong for Blackberry

For me, there are really two kinds of games.  One is great for killing time while waiting for a plane or waiting in line, like solitaire or blackjack.  These games you can quit any time and can pick up right where you left off; nothing really to remember or think about.   The other games completely suck you in.  The kind where your brain is hard at work and you don’t notice little things like the sun setting and rising, or the fact you now have a beard about a foot long.  Both kind of games serve their purpose when it comes to amusement.  The question is, where does Aces Mahjong fit into the puzzle?

You’ll have to read on to find out…

A Big Palm Announcement!?!?!?

As the local Palm fan, I do not often get the chance to talk about ‘good’ breaking news.  Palm news has been full of delayed OS, and low stock prices.  HOWEVER, Palm announced a special invitation only event for CES 2009.  The wording on the invite says: “Come to CES to see all that Palm New-ness you’ve been waiting for.”  Hmmm…that doesn’t sound like another delay to me.  My guess is that the new OS will be revealed along with a new device to show off all of that goodness.  I am hoping we will also found out which carrier will be the first to debut this new smartphone.  I am going to say that the phone will be touchscreen with a slide-out keyboard, and will transform into a robot that will do your laundry.  The last part might be a bit of a reach, but one can dream.  Check out the full invite at Palminfocenter.com.

50% Off Palm Apps Sale - Treat Yourself to Something Nice!!!

I love a good sale.  There is absolutely no doubt about that fact.  So, I was very excited to see that the JAMM Store will be offering the 25 Top-Selling Palm Applications at 50%.  I do my best to save my money, so I can have a hard time parting with $30 for an app, unless its something critical for my device.  However, it is much easier to turn $30 into two or even three apps that I have been eyeing.  Two important things to know about the sale: 1 - It is only going on from Dec. 10 to Dec. 14 - 5 days ONLY; 2 - You can only receive the discounted prices by purchasing through the MobileHeist page:

If I can make one recommendation, for $4.98 purchase 4cast.  It’s a weather application that gives you the five day forecast, as well as detailed information on today’s, tonight’s, and tomorrow’s weather.  There are hundreds of cities to pick from, so you will have no problem finding one close to you.  I recently traveled from the mid-West to Florida, and with a simple change of city, I had all the weather information I needed.  It was faster than trying to Google it or use the Weather channel.  I also use it every morning instead of turning on the TV to get the forecast.  Where else will $5 give you something so useful.

Station Break: Meet Me in St. Louis

At this time of the year, there are a few movies that are absolute classics.  Doug touched on one last week with “A Charlie Brown Christmas”.  I do love that cartoon, but there is one movie that always makes me think of being all wrapped up in blankets with the snow falling outside.  That movie is “Meet Me in St. Louis”.  When I was living at home, my Mom and I watched it at least once a winter, especially around Christmas time.  For those who are not familiar with the story, it takes place in St. Louis in 1903.  The story is centered around the lives of the Smith family, more specifically their daughters, and the craziness that ensues once it is learned that the family must move to New York.  One of their daughters, Esther, is played by Judy Garland, so of course there is music.  For me, she has the most beautiful voice ever.  I can listen to her sing for hours.  If I could time travel, seeing her in concert would be on the top of my list, along with Elvis.  Anyway, back to the movie, for me, the most memorable song, is Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.  Esther sings the song to her younger sister Tootie as they look out into the yard at their snow people.  I am not the only person who likes that song, it is ranked as #72 by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 songs in American Films. 

The film is a great mix of drama, music, and comedy.  Towards the end of the movie, Esther and her sister Rose are at the social event of the year, which is the Christmas dance.  Rose and Esther are upset with Lucille Ballard (played by June Lockhart) for breaking their brother’s heart, as well as going to the dance with Warren, who is Rose’s true love.  The sisters fill out Lucille’s dance card with all of the social rejects.  Well, as it would turn out, Lucille would set everything right by telling Warren to be with Rose, and being Rose’s brother, Lon, date for the evening.  This leaves poor Esther with Lucille’s terrible dance card since her Grandfather makes her give hers to Lucille.  Watching Judy tossed around the dance floor with the social misfits is pretty amusing, and a favorite part of the film for me.  “Meet Me in St.  Louis” is just simply a wonderful movie that everyone can enjoy.  It’s not campy.  It’s well written, and the costumes are wonderful.  So, if you find yourself trapped inside on a cold, snowy day with a cup of hot cocoa, give this film a try.  I absolutely promise you will not be disappointed.
