First let me say this, I can't wait for the next batch of widgets for LineUp, the new widget based app from PDAPerformance. The widget set that is currently available is very nice, but basic. Last week they introduced the "Weather" widget, and that's when I really saw where this pre-cursor to Saguaro could go. In fact, I think I may prefer this weather app to the one I currently use (which shall remain nameless).
LineUp is a very powerful application. The UI goes brilliantly with UltimatePhone, which makes switching from my main screen to LineUp a visual pleasure. I've only loaded a few of the widgets, CNN, the 8 Ball, LA Times and Weather. All loaded easy and perform just like the widgets in Dashboard. Going back and forth with the widgets is also pretty cool, PDAPerformance did an excellent job with the graphics, the switching effect is really cool to see on your Treo. With UltimatePhone and LineUp I quickly forget that I'm using the aging PalmOS.
What will really make this app move will be inventive interesting widgets, and that's what I look forward to. One thing I did notice, the diference between the trial version and the registered version is almost night and day, so you really don't get a true feel for how LineUp operates if you're simply trying it out.
But don't let that discourage you from giving it a go, i recommend it. I've been using it for over a week now, so I will report back with more info as it progresses.
