Bringing the JezzBall feeling to Palm OS - BallZ 1.0 Released

Attention – High Addiction Potential!

Tamoggemon Software has just released BallZ 1.0! BallZ is an implementation of Microsoft’s evergreen JezzBall concept for Palm OS 5 handhelds and smartphones.


For decades, JezzBall has been popular due to its non-violent yet challenging, action-loaded game play. Tamoggemon Software has managed to adjust the JezzBall concept to mobile devices while keeping the original feel intact.

The registered version of BallZ contains 30 colourful and unique levels. The speed of the game can be adjusted to the player’s skills in 5 steps; moody background music and sound effects create an immersive game play experience rarely seen on a mobile device.


BallZ is compatible with all Palm OS 5 handhelds that have a colour screen (including Treo 600). The program costs $14.95 and can be purchased at MobiHand's. A free 14 day trial is available from tamoggemon.com

Palm cancels the Foleo

From CNET News.com:

Faced with biting criticism of the Foleo, a Linux-based psuedo-laptop gadget, Palm has decided to cancel the first generation of the device.

Palm CEO Ed Colligan broke the news on Palm's official blog Tuesday after the close of the stock market. Just last week, a financial analyst predicted that Palm would have to delay the Foleo's launch until September or October because of serious software-related bugs, but Colligan decided to kill the entire project instead.

Palm unveiled the Foleo at the D: All Things Digital conference in May to widespread skepticism, despite the fact that Palm founder Jeff Hawkins considered it "the best idea I've ever had." The Foleo is basically an underpowered laptop that's designed to give Treo users a break from typing e-mails on a small phone keyboard. However, few could figure out why smart phone users--who ostensibly own a laptop already--would want to buy a separate $499 device that could do little more than send e-mails. [Read more]
