Now Palm made the promise of quality apps over a large quantity of apps but I see a lot of the same type of cheap, mass produced, redundant crap apps that you would find on the iPhone. Palm is really in trouble if this keeps up.

“Palm is really in trouble if this keeps up.”
Agreed. I am already jealous of the girlfriends new HTC Hero and Android’s many useful apps. I use only one app from the Palm catalog thus far (Twee).

While there are a few GPS-based running apps, Conmigo is unique in that it tracks **multiple participants** in real time. You can setup walking, running and cycling events, invite people to participate with you and receive real-time progress tracking for all participants. Conmigo takes care of keeping everyone in sync across timezones.
Think about it. You can be in Miami, FL and run with someone living in Denver, CO and Seattle, WA. You can get on your bike and hit the road in Atlanta, GA and be accompanied by riders in other states, live! You’ll soon be able to do this world-wide!
