Concerts by iLike for the Palm Pre is a simple event discovery application that looks up your current location via GPS and presents a list of concerts going on in your area at present and in the near future. The app is very cleanly built with a simple and easy-to-use interface. If you have an account with iLike already, you can sync your favorite artists from there and the app will keep an eye out for them. You can configure the distance around which the app will look for concerts – the app defaults to 150 miles, which is a lot, you might want to bring that down to a more drivable number. You can have the app notify you of upcoming concerts in your area.  

You can “bookmark” specific concerts for later attention. For each specific event, the app lets you map out directions, share the event with a friend, add it to your calendar, and see other concerts at the same menu. Sharing with a friend is through email, and the app throws up a new email with pre-filled “check this out” text with a link information about the concert. The app is a little slow to load as it pulls in event information, but is quite snappy once you enter the home screen. The ability to bookmark and add to your calendar is really nice and works flawlessly. Overall, this is a well-designed and useful concert-discovery app on the Palm Pre that comes with some nice calendar integration and an interface that meshes seamlessly with WebOS.
