A+ student organizer WOOT WOOT!!!
Hey the trial is free not $2.99, posting error :)
Ditto. And it's "Truth *or* Dare Free" - not "Truth of Dare Free". I know - you wish you could just copy & paste from the App Catalog instead of manually typing out the entire list.
Whoopsie!
How long are you gonna keep this up, dude? I mean, if all goes how we all WANT it to go after the PDK and 1.4, your time spent creating these posts for new apps is going to be tremendous.
Is this ideally going to be handled by the P|C app list?
Yeah, it can be pretty darned time consuming. But with the new webOS App Gallery we do have to opportunity to make it a touch more on the automated side, but there are still some kinks to be worked out.
Though I would be more than happy to have to throw my hands up in defeat if it turns out that there's not enough time to write up the list. :D
It's a very nice application!
is it just me or is your app catalogue feed not up to date
I'm gonna point out something obvious, but maybe I'm missing something. How can we have a list of new apps that is THIS BIG, but just to the right of them is PreCentral's "Latest Official Apps" list with Glyder2 still listed at the top?
I don't know exactly what type of plugin P|C's app list is using, but it's not working in real-time. For me to really trust that feature of P|C, it has to be very close to real-time... I don't experience the same type of incongruence with the Homebrew list...
and God knows the world depends on a real time app feed
It doesn
Yeah - it doesn't? lol
No really, I'm just providing my feedback. Take it or leave it, I don't care - but how would anybody ever know if something is right or not without feedback from the target audience?
No, the App Catalog feed is not completely up-to-date. It's a beta deal for both us and Palm, so there are still some kinks to be worked out.
Just thought I let you guys know, World Factbook now has a price. For us who have the 1st version and it was free, we have to pay for the update.
ive noticed thats true with a lot of apps. Infopedia, mCraig, Stopwatch/Timer are some others.
We should really have a post on what the top 10 or top 20 apps are for 2010
"Use the vibrator of your phone for a massage."
At least they described it as what it actually is. Has anyone seen Pocket Party? WOW.
LMAO - NOW it makes sense why that app description was so vague!
I put "Vibrate Massage, $0.99, by Rosoa: Use the vibrator of your phone for a massage" into Google translate and got this:
"Palm Pre Pleasure Vibrator: Use your phone to increase the enjoyment of that boring sales meeting..."
How odd...
Looks like Rosoa is a pretty kinky lady
kara swisher could enjoy using this app,lol'
No such fun for us Canadians or Europeans yet. I better start a savings account for when they finally let the rest of the world buy apps!
Mancala!!
Not sure why I care, but I wonder how many people actually have paid 5 bucks for a fart application...
finally Pre has caught up to iphone fanboy's status.(3 fart apps so far)At least, for those to lazy to use their asses or maybe they can compete with those iphone fanboys whether who can keep their farts longer in their asses without turning blue in their faces.lol'
@: Chopperguy.
as of now webosschool is reporting 158 downloads for $535 of revenue. Better than my app.
Wow... Now, that's sad! "Rolling eyes and shaking head"
an simple invoicing app would be nice
Is it just me, or did pocket party disappear?
PocketParty is on Palm's Web-Apps Distribution list, not the official catalog.
asphalt 5 still doesn't work crashes if you try to use the motorcycle i don't understand why its taking them so long to fix i have never bought a game before that didn't work its starting to piss me off gameloft has been no help at all they tell me to re install it i have three times now web os doctored the phone as well still crashes no refund offered nothing
hmm, didn't know this was an issue. Mine's worked fine since the day I bought it, no crashes at all. Weird.
asphalt5 updated??????I THINK NOTEvery review I have read on that game people saying it crashes so I'm waiting for a update because it was $6.99 and I can't even play it because it crashes on me too...How can I get a refund if there is no update??there is no update for it so why tease???
CUMTD Bus Tracker?! AWESOME. Can't wait to get a Pre Plus when I can..
There is a perfectly logical explanation as to why iPhone fanboys need an iFart App. They are so busy praising their beloved iPhone that they don't shut their piehole long enough to build up any beckpressure. Therefore they have need for the iFart App!
LMAO... Thank you! I knew there was a great reason for it! It's the application to bring over the Iphoners to the Palm Pre.
Sigh. No Facebook update yet. :(
