Unfortunately, the wideray app pretty much sucks -- just static pages of information about resturants and such. The only cool part is a listing of movies and times at the Metreon (but I already get this via Vindigo).

Scorepad a much better handheld scoring program
How about beaming stations in retail stores?!
Why, oh why, hasn't Palm already setup beaming stations in retail stores like Best Buy, CompUSA, Circuit City, etc??
Believe it or not, most Palm users don't know how to install new applications on their PDA, much less know where to find new apps on the web. Several of the people I work with use Palm-powered devices, but only us geeks in engineering have ever installed apps on them.
Seems like this would be a great way to get palm users to try out new applications. Beaming stations would greatly simplify the process (select from a list of apps, place your Palm-powered device within range, and *poof* it's installed.) Gone are the days of (1) download zip, (2) find the PRC, (3) run the inappropriately named "install tool", (4) HotSync again because the "install tool" didn't actually install the app (!!).
Palm/PalmGear/Handango could manage the stations remotely and cycle in new applications on a period basis.

Personally, I think this is what Palm needs, even though its not necessarily developed by Palm; just a good business idea by some crafty people around The Valley. ...Maybe I'll be able to find a book in less than 30 minutes the next time I visit a Borders Bookstore.
