What’s New in Homebrew Apps: Quick PIM Apps, preDevCamp Apps
As of this writing, our Homebrew Apps Gallery has 117 apps for your downloading pleasure. What's new? Plenty.
We have several apps that look to fix up the Pre's core PIM functionality. There's Quick Event, which uses the Pre's "Just start typing" philosophy to let you enter in calendar information like "Dinner with Jane 8pm to 10 pm Thursday at Vescio's" and turn that into a calendar entry automatically (bonus: Linux gurus can patch Universal Search do to the same!). We have Quick Contacts and Quick Dialer, two honest-to-god speed dial applications, too. Or how about three Google Voice apps that have been seeing near-weekly updates?
There's plenty more, but we're going to take a moment to once again point out that we have a bunch of app that were created or significantly updated at preDevCamp - find them all here. preDevCamp developers have until Midnight on Saturday to submit their apps to the gallery for voting both in for the category prizes (Pre phones!) or the User's Choice award (another Pre Phone!). More details on the contest here. Developers: Contact us to get in the gallery. Homebrew lovers, be sure to vote on your favorite preDevCamp Apps!
