New in the App Catalog for 01 September 2010 7

by Derek Kessler Thu, 02 Sep 2010 9:18 am EDT

App Catalog It’s a new month, a new day, and we’ve got new apps. Newness all around!

  • Tapotron trial version is a unique touch music generator, with pitches laid out how it makes sense for smartphone-holding fingers.
  • WTF: What the Fractal lets you create and dig into deeper and deeper fractals.
  • Don't touch! serves and protects your phone from prying hands. Leave it sitting out and it’ll respond angrily to any who dare disturb your phone.
  • BeebListen, for UK residents only, bring’s the BBC radio’s iPlayer on-demand content to your phone.

There’s more, as usual, after the break.

appbookshop, you are a plague.

Should they simply not produce aything just because you don't like any of their stuff?

It's not their fault there isn't a separate catalog for books. It's not like their brighthouse, whose stuff simply is crap.

I don't fault them for it. But I wish Palm themselves would add some sort of filtering as available from tweaks.

These folks that spam the crap out of the store with book/song/sport apps are frustrating if you're not looking for book/song/sport apps. Which is often. Need a way to pigeon hole them.

They may not be useless, but they're proliferate.

Seeing as how I got to enjoy the App sale where lots didn't, I shouldn't complain. But .... where I used to enjoy looking at these posts ("What's new ..."), now, they just frustrate me because pretty much *everything* requires 1.4.5 (and I'm using an AT&T Pre+).

I guess this is the revenge of the minuses.

Sigh. I jumped at the WTF app. But looks like I may have to learn to develop webOS for myself. Needs smarter progressive rendering to give the illusion of snap while navigating.

And heck, use some SDK to allow the user to change of the number of nodes, etc.

I'd question the legality of BeebListen. It charges licence fee payers to access content they've already paid for.

It is the software (ie the access mechanism) and the time it took to write it that is being charged for, not the content. I don't believe you would make the same comment to a radio manufacturer. It's not a monopoly, you have the choice to write your own software, or indeed build your own radio. :)
