We frequently get involved in projects just to learn about new hardware, software, development tools, or online services. The experience is always valuable and sometimes the result is software that we can distribute publicly, or a Web site that we decide to keep online. A few of those projects are listed below along with case studies of other projects you might find interesting. We hope you enjoy the software.

Download Case Study PDF File	Case Study For Zoho CRM Integration Project This PDF file describes a recent project were we integrated a third-party e-commerce Web site with Zoho CRM, and a new customer site for invoice payment. The result was improved cash flow, faster time for getting new orders into production, easier access to customer information for the telemarketing team, and most important, happy customers because they can easily see their order history and pay bills without the hassle of checks.
	Get Starbucks Application for the Palm Pre When Palm/Sprint introduced the Pre to compete with Apple's iPhone, the reviews were great. So we downloaded the software development kit, bought a Pre and got to work. The resulting app takes advantage of the built-in GPS to pinpoint your current location, and then displays the nearest Starbucks locations on a Google map. We were honored to be one of the first apps to be distributed through the unofficial "Homebrew App Store" at PreCentral. At last count it's been downloaded about 4,500 times, even though it's hard for the average Pre owner to track down. Get the app, or learn more
	Coffee & Wi-Fi Locator Project After completing the Get Starbucks app for the Palm Pre we realized that there isn't a comprehensive and accurate directory of coffee shops. This is obviously a big problem so we designed our own community-maintained directory. Anyone can add coffee shops or update the information about existing shops. When you visit the site you'll notice lots of interesting animation, sliding panels, photo gallery upload widgets, and other user interface elements. We are using this site to test new code to see if users find it easier to use. Visit the Web site.
	Google Voice Desktop App Google Voice is a phone call management system that has been adopted by millions of users. After signing up for the free Google Voice service you will get a new phone number that can ring multiple phones at once, letting you answer where it's most convenient. Record custom voicemail greetings for individual callers, or groups. Send certain callers directly to voicemail, while others ring on your phone(s). The Google Voice transcription service will also send you an e-mail, allowing you to read voicemail messages at your convenience. Visit the Google Voice website to sign up. Our desktop application makes it very easy to keep Google Voice available at all times. This makes it much easier to use for quick text messages and the added convenience means you'll use it more often. (no longer available)
