Do all of these updates mean that there is a new WebOS update around the corner? Or are we just at the point where we have enough apps that randomly this many can be updated?

Also, will the WTF web slang app explain why people feel the need to post "1st"?

I believe an update is due later this month - waiting for carriers to sign off on changes. Off topic - Are you by any chance a urologist? If so, great screen name.

I sure hope so, that would be hilarious!

Interestingly enough, one of the biggest bank in the U.S.A. finally comes out with a Mobile Banking app and it is not mentioned as a new app? Bank of America finally came out with their Mobile Banking app yesterday. Yes, I know that B of A mobile website worked well, but it is nice to know that one of the biggest bank in the U.S. finally supports webOS! :)

I believe webOS users want more banking app such as Chase and military family members want their USAA app as well.

Ok, soap box off. ;)

Yeah, I noticed that it was left off too. It doesn't seem to be showing up in the app feed on this site or in preware...don't know why it only appears in the app catalog.

As a matter of fact, I am a urologist. I considered "Pecker Checker" as well, but thought Dic Doc was ever-so-slightly more subtle.

My license plate is "URN TRBL" ;)

Very subtle indeed. Leaving the k off of dic makes all the difference. You remind my of the ASSMAN from Seinfeld. Not sure which specialty is worse.
