Hey Derek, you see what you did there with the NFL Slant and Metro apps? You should do that with the AppBookShop apps from now on. Have AppBookShop in bold, short description, then links to each individual app book, instead of giving each book it's own list item.

[NFL Team] Inside Slant - No Eagles? WTF

Just to let people know what's in the updates for Card Ace: Hold 'Em & Word Ace:

Card Ace: Hold 'Em - a long-requested feature is FINALLY in the game - Sit & Go tournaments! It's a whole new way to play - because you can't buy back into a tournament, you'll have to rely on your skills, rather than your chip stack to succeed.

Word Ace - we've finally added drag & drop to the webOS versons of the game! Now, you can click on your cards to drop them into the rack, or use the keyboard, or drag & drop to select letters & rearrange them in the rack!

I hope you get a chance to check it out.
Cheers!

Cool, thanks for the updates, and for sticking with webOS!

Posted by selfawaregames on Wed, 17 Nov 2010 3:07 am EST

Heh. We're still faithful webOS will find its audience with HP's backing. Personally, I love the OS, and we still have tons of webOS players playing our games. We haven't had any major updates in a while because we've been working on a CRAZY new project, but we've got a cool update in the works. It's actually a merge of our three webOS apps, plus a really slick "social browser" - instead of finding games by blind size, you look through a grid of Featured Players to find who you want to play with (your friends are displayed on the grid as well).

So, keep an eye out - that'll be coming in about a month or so, but the really, *really* cool new stuff? Heheheh. Sometime early next year.

One that didn't make the list there was my new Trial Version.

GalacticBeacon Vol. 1 - Trial. It is in the catalog under books:science fiction.

My app IS a dedicated eReader, but it is NOT appBookshop or the like. I wrote the app code, stories, and essays and drew the comics. I don't promise you'll like them, but I do promise that they are original, and I worked hard to make them. The trial version means you can try them for free and see if you like them or not.

Galactic Beacon has original science fiction stories, a couple of essays (hopefully you'll find them humorous) and some comics.

The trial version has everything the pay version has EXCEPT the fiction isn't complete. The stories each stop at a point I hope is interesting enough that you will follow the link and buy the full version.

My personal favorite is the story "Sarah". The theme of the volume is "One Way Trips To Mars".

I'm not including ads in either the trial nor the pay version.

If you try it and like it, please leave a review in the catalog.
