New in the App Catalog for 12 August 2010 10

by Derek Kessler Fri, 13 Aug 2010 6:16 am EDT

App Catalog Apparently the team at Upward Mobility was the only group that managed to have any new apps approved yesterday, and just four at that. While they’re good people, we are a little sad to see only four new apps, and all from one developer. Regardless, it’s not the developer’s fault that Palm didn’t approve more or others didn’t submit simultaneously. The list of the new, and the longer list of the updated as well, is after the break. What, did you think we just were going to skip it today? Never!

Thanks as always Derek. Also there is an awesome game everyone should check in the Beta feed. It is called "Name Me Beta" the developer needs a name and it is really rather good. Kinda like Angry birds with light! 8 levels which go pretty fast but it is fun while it lasts.

I think many developers here in the USA are waiting for AT&T and Verizon employees to get off their lazy butts and approve WebOS 1.4.5. Honestly, I don't see why HP/Palm doesn't just release 1.4.5 for all carriers directly since it is clear that AT&T and Verizon just can't handle it.

Thanks Derek - I sort of forgot we had a world capitals app, to be honest. :)

or it's clear that unfortunately the development for webos has slowed to a trickle.

As a developer, all I can tell you is that it's the calm before the storm.

It's a huge performance advantage to us to use the new C++ PDK vs. the Javascript SDK, but it's just taking us longer than we want to create the frameworks for our apps. Once our baseline code becomes stable and full featured, we can start pushing out more applications again.

That's encouraging. I was hoping the lack of apps wasn't a sign of what's ahead (or lack of).

Never!? I'm calling shenanigans.

Not surprising. webOS doesn't even appear on the Q2 Gartner list of worldwide smartphone sales to end users:
