Yesterday we got a lot of new apps. Unfortunately, they fell into three categories: Guides around French cities from The Lonely Planet, public domain audiobooks from Appible, and public domain audiobooks with text from Appible. That said, the guides for cities like Lyon, Toulouse, and Marseille (no Paris?) do look to be fairly handy if you’re going to find yourself in the area. Oh, and Angry Birds got updates, both to the standard edition and seasons. Check it all out, new apps, updates, and the like - after the break.

My app 'Screamager' got a full overhaul but unfortunately doesn't appear in this list :(
All these book apps are getting ridiculous. Just make one ereader app, hook it up to your ebook store (Palm won't charge for that like Apple does!), and sell your books from there, instead of clogging the app catalog with the same app a hundred times.
Yes, exactly...I'm just thankful I know how to block viewing all of these submissions. Then again, thanks again to the Homebrew community and hopefully HP makes 25% every once and a while. Sorli...
I think webOS has the most book apps out there lol. I wonder what percentage of the app catalog they take up.
Appible accounts for 10.7% of webOS App Catalog apps.
That's nice that we have all these apps, but does it work with WEBOS 2.0/2.1? If it doesn't well.............
palm getting sold + transition to enyo = no apps
I'm looking to be a super smart phone, it should have plenty of storage space to meet my Testhope.com content above the collection, let me get the desired IT certification, very grateful, I think I want to find..!
what I see here is a dying developer community. I'm a beginer trying to write an app and I'm not getting any help from hp developer forums. I don't think there's hardly anybody the logs on to it any more. Maybe a couple dozen on a good day. Plus with enyo slowly coming along, the app I'm working on will soon be obsolete. What's a young developer to do?
learn enyo or jump ship. I recommend the latter
would somebody block this fing not I have seen make 5 posts. Die hmhn80
what's with all this damn spam
Who cares about spam when those of us stuck in 1.4.5 land can't get good useful apps anyway! Anyone who is creating apps is doing it for 2.0 and why would I spend any money on apps when my Pre- is obsolete with no Pre3 currently in sight! Rant off!
