Cram

Platforms: Blackberry and iPhone

$6.99

Maybe your teachers told you that cramming doesn’t work. Remember carrying all those flashcards in your backback to memorize Spanish verbs or American Presidents? Now you can do the same thing -- digitally – with Cram. Cram offers the ability to create both flash cards and multiple choice tests with automatically randomized answers. The study aids can be synced with Mac OS or shared with friends – meaning that you can share the work of preparing for a test with friends. When the test is done and gone, Cram will keep a record of your performance and track your progress. Maybe there is something to this whole cramming thing after all.

Hope you're not going back to school with a Windows Mobile device.

Dunno... my Omnia does great for me. Although this Tom's slideshow makes it seem like WM apps don't exist, I find the phone to be very functional along with tons of apps.

I am disappointed that the article didn't have ONE WM 3rd party app... or maybe I should just assume that Tom's felt the built-in apps covers all this and 3rd party apps are unneeded? (Yeah, I know its not true - I'm just trying to provoke Tom's authors into a response. *grin*)

I would be good if they had at least one app for every smart phone (iPhone, BlackBerry, WinMobile, Andriod, etc.). I was actually surprised they didn't have just iPhone apps.

We're actually looking into doing a *whole article* on WinMo apps :) Please be patient while we do our research...

For all you WinMo folks: What apps do you want to see come out when the new Windows Mobile Marketplace for apps launches next month?

Are you going to provide any further coverage on Android apps? I'm really disappointed that this article has only one Android app. I love my G1, and there are multiple Android devices about to be launched.
