The Stopwatch/Timer app for the Palm Pre is a well-designed timer application that is really friendly on the eyes with large numbers, buttons, and controls. It comes with a timer that is excellent for cooking and other uses even when your Pre is at a safe distance away from the action because the numbers are highly visible on a dark background. If you prefer you can change the theme between dark and light shades. The stopwatch function lets you track lap times and allows you to split sessions with a single tap. Everything is nicely labelled and intuitive and you’ll be able to just start using it without a fuss.
You can save all your times by selecting a preference button (recommended) and you can also select the precision you will need in the preferences section. In future updates I would love to see the ability to add different user-generated categories, such as billable hours, or study sessions. As it stands now, it’s still quite usable for these purposes, especially since you can just leave the app running in the background while you do other stuff on your Pre. Another feature to look forward to would be voice activation once Palm exposes the right hooks for the developers. A sleak and simple timer and stopwatch application for the Palm Pre.
