Keep up with new apps via RSS 7
Would you like to keep track of the new apps in the App Catalog without having to open up the App Catalog every day? You can look through PreCentral's own App Gallery, Preware, or the variety of other listings available on the web, but you still have to remember to look for updates each day. Luckily, Palm has also made these feeds available for anyone to add to their RSS reader of choice. There are 2 types of feeds you can add ("All Applications" vs "Recently added only") for each of the 3 catalogs they support (Official App Catalog, Web Distribution or Beta Applications). For each catalog, you should only subscribe to one of the feed types. We recommend the "recently added" feed. For more details and a listing of the specific feeds, go to this article in Palm's Developer Center and scroll down to the section titled "The Feeds".
Please note: once an application appears in a feed, it may still take a couple hours before the application is available to download

I hope im 2nd!
dammit!
this is a good tip. Thanks Adam. Nice job on Palmcast, btw.
I'm not seeing a "recently added" feed; I only see All App, Web or Beta feeds and Update Feed for App, Web or Beta.
Did I miss something?
Same here. I only see all apps and updated apps.
"The update feeds are updated every 30 minutes with those applications added in the 48-hour period before the feed update."
The 'Update' feeds will show all new/updated apps (that update could just be description in the catalog, not always an app update) from the last 48 hours. It updates every 30mins, however apps may not be available to download for a few hours.
My question, is this just the feed for America, meaning their will be some apps I can't get, and it won't show some apps I can, or is it a total all markets feed (so still some I can't get)?
This is great! Any plans to roll out RSS feeds for Preware patches and apps?
