Meet the Meeples (continued)
Maybe if it were renamed, it would have a better chance of fitting in as a PIM. Instead of calling it MEEPLE, how about PIMPLE? And, of course, the acrostic for this new acronym is People In My Pocket PC Listed Elsewhere.
Who knows, you may decide you can't live without it and will beam it to all your unMeepled friends and colleagues. In that case, we may wish to rename it STEEPLE, which naturally stands for Start Entering Everyone's PDA Listings Electronically. Uh, maybe Meeple's a pretty good name after all, but it's not a PIM.
OUR RATING: 4 of 5
I rate Meeple from Mobilair a 4 out of 5. You can grab a copy to try at http://www.handango.com or visit the developer's site at www.mobilair.net. I predict that once you try it, you'll probably buy it. Think of the time it will save you. Maybe it best fits into the "Time Savers" category -- that's TS for short, but it's not a PIM.
Note -- I just received a note from the developers of Meeple. They confirmed that the inspiration for the name "Meeple" comes from the game Carcassone, but instead of meaning "My People", they prefer the definition "Meeting People". They also think of their product as being in the category of Social Software.
I told you it wasn't a PIM.
