Here’s a piece of software that should’ve come pre-installed with every Palm Pre. It’s called Precorder and as you can guess from its name, it brings video recording to the webOS platform. Still in alpha, Precorder is a homebrew app that lets users capture 480×320-pixel video at 30fps in H.264/AVC format. Moreover, it allows controlling of the built-in LED light so you could continue your clip even in the low-light conditions. Audio can also be recorded, but that’s not a big deal.
On the downside, there’s no video preview presented while recording, but I assume that will be changed as soon as Precorder hits beta. Plus, the app is free, so we shouldn’t ask for too much… Search for it in the Palm App Catalog and let us know what you think.

Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
