For some, the holidays are a time to flip the ringer switch to mute or even to power off your phone altogether. But if you’re reading this post, you’re probably not one of those people. So while we hope you make sure to have some quality F2F time with friends and family, here are a few ways your phone can help you stay connected and sane.
- Net2Streams (available in Pro and Lite versions)
lets you tune in to your favorite SHOUTcast Radio stations. With 25,000 stations around the globe, you can keep in touch with what’s going on back home or get a leg up on wherever you’re going.
The Feeds Google Reader client lets you download your essential reading list (the latest xkcd comic, for example) so you can catch up when you’re on the go. You’ll be notified when you have new articles, and can email or message them to friends. - The latest version of the Tweed client for Twitter
adds support for lists, the latest flavor of retweets, and more. (BTW, are you following @palm yet?)
Quick: Can you unscramble “Below B Sword”? Wobble Words is a timed word-search game that will keep the kids (and even the adults) distracted when you’re stuck in line or caught in traffic.
- For your little private moment of Zen to escape from the holiday mania, download the free WingedCurator app and choose one of the charming illustrations as your seasonal wallpaper.
