Sims 3 and other games got an update.
After restarting luna I had no trouble opening it. I wonder if sooner or later I'll still get the "too many cards open" message.

I sure would like an ESPN app. Some app that will give me real time sports scores. For all sports in 1 app.

@ jarobsua

maybe this will help until you get an ESPN app:

I use this website with a launcher shortcut.
...yeah, of course it is an iPhone web-app!

Thanks for the tip. Nice site.

I got the update for Need For Speed. Took a little while to download. Does anyone know what was in the update?

so does the palm pre have a on screen keyboard now that you can purchase

Posted by dajlol77 on Fri, 15 Jan 2010 10:46 am EST

No, but there is a homebrew virtual keyboard available via Preware.

Posted by dpmoney7 on Fri, 15 Jan 2010 10:50 am EST

in the reading it just said virtual keyboard for purchase 5.99

Posted by dajlol77 on Fri, 15 Jan 2010 10:55 am EST

Oh ok, maybe there is now...I fail on reading skills.

In any case, the homebrew keyboard is free :)

NFS seems to run smoother and load faster now. And it has a new launcher icon.

When is the App Store coming to Bell Canada? Does anyone know?

Posted by Cozzman on Fri, 15 Jan 2010 11:25 am EST

I very often read these threads and see apps listed as updated but they aren't. Is that just a typo or am I missing what constitutes and an update? Glyder 2 for example is the same price and the same version. What's updated?

Not complaining, just curious. I constantly get my hopes up for nothing when reading my RSS feeds about app updates.

Yeah, I think that the app developers sometimes mark their app as updated to make it show up on the "Recent" selection again, but haven't updated. I've seen the same thing, same version, no update; but listed as new/updated in the list.

Posted by Rkguy on Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:05 pm EST

they sometimes tweak apps to run better. Example: asphalt 5 updated yesterday now doesn't crash when racing w the motorcycle. That's an update to their code you get w/o paying more

I'd love for these lists to have links so that accessing further description and screenshots would be a breeze ...

or - update the Beta App Catalog with the newest apps soon after publishing. The new P|C app catalog hasn't been updated since 1-12-2010.

Posted by autodidact on Fri, 15 Jan 2010 4:03 pm EST

Anything that makes it easy to find more information. I'd like to delve into the iTouch thingy, but can't seem to find nothing (using my computer).

Posted by ldj on Fri, 15 Jan 2010 3:02 pm EST

Devs can't just mark an app as updated. We have to resubmit updates to palm and get them approved like new apps...

Posted by Demlor on Fri, 15 Jan 2010 3:57 pm EST

All I know so far for the update for the sims 3 is it has a new icon on the launcher.

Posted by Laxidasical on Fri, 15 Jan 2010 4:06 pm EST

Another note about updates. I submitted changes for the description of my app to Palm. I think those are showing up as updates as well...
