Coin flipping or coin tossing is the practice of throwing a coin in the air to resolve a dispute between two parties or otherwise choose between two alternatives. It is a form of sortition that by nature typically has only two possible outcomes. And Now you can just flip the coin on your Palm Pre.

The CoinFlip Palm Pre App by Inspiring Apps does pretty much what the title says. If you ever find yourself needing to flip a coin for a decision and do not have one on you this app can help. To flip the coin on the display screen use your finger to tap on the coin on the display screen and it will flip. When you will try this, coin does land on heads or tails randomly.

Overall, this is a great, simple app with realistic animations. You can say CoinFlip Palm Pre App gets a Thumbs Up.

The WikiHow application for the Palm Pre offers the perfect graphics as expected from a Palm Pre applications. The screens are mostly colored with black and grey backgrounds and the icons are large enough to be finger friendly. The fonts used to display information are also bold enough for easy reading, but not extravagant enough to seem “crowded.”

The application features a search bar that can be found easily on the interface under the same drop down as “survival kit” and a browse feature, although the browse feature is only really good if you’re just looking around for new hobby tasks to complete in certain subjects and not specific tasks considering there are over 60,000 possible matches.

You’ll also notice that the WikiHow Application offers the included pictures for each article, those photos can then be “zoomed” in for closer looks, which definitely helps if you need to see the photo more closely to determine how to perform a specific step. You’ll also notice the “Open in Web Browser” option which opens the mobile formatted article directly into your Palm Pre web browser for full viewing. You’ll also notice the “Share” button which launches a “check this out” type response with a link to your how to article. Since the share option utilizes the built in email application on the device it’s extremely easy to share your findings with friends.

Finally, if you encounter any YouTube videos in your guides and you click on those videos the application automatically opens a new card with that video on your Palm Pre, making it simple to watch videos with your full screen size, while still keeping the original how-to-guide in the open state.

Overall its a marvellous app and the screens are well thought out. The ability to share information and launch YouTube videos is strong and bookmarking and web launch features are good enough to operate smoothly. Once the search function is added this will be a must have app. Download it to get use to the application, but wait for the search function to really get into the app.
