We’re pleased to announce that Tip ‘em! – the tip calculator and check splitter for the Palm Pre – has been selected by Palm to be one of only 50 apps included as initial members of the Palm App Catalog. Starting today, Tip ‘em! is available through the App Catalog app on the Pre. Tip ‘em! helps you quickly and accurately determine the tip amount on a check and split the bill between multiple diners. It makes it easy to exclude items from the tip calculation, such as drinks and tax.

The Official Palm Blog writes…

Tip ’em! not only crunches through the calculations you need to figure out the appropriate tip, but adds some nice coffee-stained touches of realism to the experience.

Fun and Functional Design

Tip calculators in general are nothing new, but this one raises the bar on both functionality and design. ArcTouch developed Tip ‘em! for Azoombi and combined a custom background graphic (a retro “diner” check complete with a coffee stain) and seamlessly blended in the native touch controls of the Pre for the “picker” lists for tip amount, rounding and split amount.
