It’s great to see TealPoint still knocking out Palm related software and TealSpeed is its latest for webOS. Pre Central has written up a review and by all accounts it didn’t do too well. A shame.
“After all of your shortcuts are set up and configured, I found that TealSpeed launched them speedily and reliably. Getting to the shortcut icons was always an easy task, as it took just a quick tap to bring up the notification area.
As was mentioned earlier in the review, on a conceptual level it’s ingenious that the developers behind TealSpeed thought to use the notification area as the launcher, but in practice I’m not entirely sure that utilizing the notification area for things other than notifications is really the best approach – that area tends to get cluttered up enough as it is without having a small square representing each row of custom shortcuts occupying that space. Sure, your desired apps and contacts are only two taps away, but then again, universal search is only a swipe away, and launcher pages are only a gesture away (don’t forget about the wave dock!).
On the performance side, I found that my Sprint Palm Pre became noticeably more sluggish when the program was active; an effect that I would imagine would be exacerbated on the lower-spec’d Pixi. It is also worth noting that battery life appeared to take a significant hit while the program was running…”
