As forewarned by PG a couple of weeks ago, PalmGear is no more as of today. It's now PocketGear. I hope they clean up some of their marketing techniques along with the new image! :eek:

I've removed it from my bookmarks. I tried to download a trial and was prompted to login. Strike One. Looking at the "updated apps," there's one called Favogo that I bought a few years ago - and hasn't been updated since I bought it. Strike Two. They don't show the date updated as PalmGear did.
Strike Three.
They're going the way of everything Palm OS as of late.

I could log in, but they have no record of my past purchases. It looks like they havent finished migrating and merging the sites.
I'd give them a bit more time, although yes, it looks as if its going to the dogs.

Nope, my login was not found either. It looks like their RSS feeds are broken too.

I could log in, but my purchase history seems to be lost. The site looks pretty though, and I'm glad we can keep the PG abbreviation :-)

I noticed this yesterday when I went searching for an update to reset doctor. I got the message that they were still migrating accounts from palmgear and to be patient, so I didn't investigate any further.

I got an email from them. If you can't login using your Palmgear account login, create a new Pocketgear account and login. Then go to "View Past Purchases" button and on that page click on "Log in to your classic Palmgear Locker" link. It works! I was able to access my order history.

I'll try it - it's a good thing some people are getting emails!

I've probably spent my last $$$ on Palm apps anyway. If VZW's XV6800 offering only had a VGA screen instead of the stupid typical 240x320 pixel WM resolution, I'd have ordered it today. Sooooo close, but no cigar! ;)
Except for that, this is an awesome device.

I've probably spent my last $$$ on Palm apps anyway.I'm just about there myself. After the whole Treo 700p fiasco I was soured on Palm and am just biding my time as to which device to jump to.
You'd think that Palm would see the anger directed at them (and users fleeing from them) and take corrective action, but instead they're like a boxer who just took a KO punch to the head and we're all just waiting for the count to 10 (I'd guess they're at about 7 now). So sad.
