Filed under: Software , Palm , webOS We know that Palm’s hard at work implementing desperately needed payment infrastructure for its App Catalog , and we might now be getting some of the first glances of what it — and the non-beta App Catalog as a whole — will look like.
Filed under: Software , Palm It looks like it isn’t just bluster from Palm when it comes to thinking differently about its app approval policy. Besides taking a pretty healthy stance on applications that deviate from its current standards, today 10 new titles have shown up for download… a Google Voice app being one of them.
Filed under: Palm , webOS Palm’s App Catalog isn’t exactly bursting with titles yet, but that isn’t stopping the company from rejecting apps — and the dubious honor of First App Rejected goes to NaNplayer, a music player app. Apparently NaNPlayer made use of an undocumented webOS API call, so it makes sense that Palm wouldn’t approve it, but there’s a somewhat less-sensible flipside: it was using the same API the built-in music player uses to index files so it could make playlists.
Hit up the App Catalog, and you’ll find 13 new apps ready for download. In a month, new apps will no longer be news, but until then it’s still news worthy here.
Palm Pre is now officially shipping in Canada on Bell , did you get yours? [Send in your photos of your quest for a Bell Pre.] With the launch, Palm has also released 4 new apps on the App Catalog, one specifically made for the Canadians. The first one is Yelp , if you don’t use Yelp, use it
Get your credit cards ready , cause Palm just announced that they are accepting pay and free apps submission today for the e-commerce beta that is to land in mid-September. The e-commerce beta will only be opened to the US, initially. So it won’t be ready in time for both the Canadian launch nor UK
What a sad story Palm’s App Catalog has been so far: never more than a few dozen apps, a near-closed submission process, and no way for developers to make any money. Today, a sliver of light: Palm is accepting a handful of paid app submissions as part of a closed e-commerce system beta, which means a wide release, though no necessarily coming soon, is imminent. Terms are predictable: 70% cut for devs, US-only for now, and no carrier payment system yet.
Filed under: Software , Palm , Sprint , webOS We’re doing our darnedest not to be recklessly optimistic here, but after weeks and weeks of nothing, a few new somethings have sauntered into Palm’s App Catalog .
Not only do Palm Pre owners get NFL mobile live content soon but they also are going to get MLB Mobile Premium service on their repective devices. This is web based application but it really doesn’t matter, because it is much better than Sporting News’ version of Pro Baseball, which only gives you scores as an update. Some highlights: MLB.com Mobile Gameday Audio – Listen to live audio broadcasts of every Major League Baseball game through the final out of the 2009 World Series
You heard it here first! Confirmed by a number of devs that got accepted in the Early Access program, developers can now submit their apps to Palm for consideration to be included in the Beta App Catalog, starting from today.
While we know that we should be able to install apps directly on the Pre eventually, some enterprising folks are looking to do it sooner.
While we know that we should be able to install apps directly on the Pre eventually, some enterprising folks are looking to do it sooner. Up to now, installing “homebrew” apps seemed to require “rooting” your Pre – i.e.
