[ Palm OS Apps ]

Gary loves Palm PDAs! He has owned seven different Palms since he began using them in 1996. He currently owns a Palm Tungsten C. These are some rather neat Palm OS applications that Gary has developed. Enjoy!

UPDATE, April 7, 2006: See the littlebig mobile entertainment website for Gary's genre-forming new PDA action game :)

Pocket Beat

Pocket Beat is Gary's flagship Palm OS software. Due to its clever programming, it has proven to be the first truly *accurate* Palm metronome available. There is a step-by-step test you can perform on the Pocket Beat Web page to test the accuracy of Pocket Beat against competing Palm metronomes.

Pocket Beat is also more than a highly accurate metronome: It will measure the tempo of your stylus taps and continue playing the beat along with you, in time and without missing a beat! It also sports dual tempo settings and simple controls! Check it out.

In 1998, a special commercial version of Pocket Beat was published as part of MacMillan Digital Publishing's "Plus Pack for Palm III". Since then, Pocket Beat has continued to grow in features!

Eye-Mail

Eye Mail is cool. It turns your Palm into a mobile billboard, scrolling a message you define across the Palm unit's display with large, full-screen letters! As usual for Gary's software, it goes a few steps further than necessary: there's a reverse function that lets your message be read in a mirror, and for good measure it also displays an attention-getter before displaying your message!

Raceway '78

Raceway '78 was a real hoot to develop! It's a detailed remake of Tomy's 1978 electromechanical toy, "Digital Derby". Gary really loved playing that game as a kid! Of course, he had to add a feature not present in the original game: a hi-scoring and challenging "Go-Turbo" mode that is available after you have driven 50 "laps" :) Download and play today!

Readability fonts for Palm IIIc

The first color Palm, the Palm IIIc, was plagued with a black grid that covered the otherwise-brilliant color screen.

To make reading easier, Gary created Readability fonts for Palm IIIc. The characters in this font are formed solely of right angled lines. Why? Because diagonally-adjacent pixels like the ones in the system font character, "x" appear disjointed and very blocky against the screen's thin black grid. If you own a IIIc, you may find this font easier on the eyes.

Exciting stuff around the corner! Introducing the genre-forming game, "Bubble Ship Boy" from littlebig mobile entertainment!

Gary has a startlingly original color action game in the works. It will run on hires color Palm PDAs such as the Tungsten line and the Treo 650.
