New in the App Catalog for 16 June 2010 13

by Derek Kessler Thu, 17 Jun 2010 8:23 am EDT

App Catalog Holy crap, AppBookShop, overdo it much? That’s twenty-one new releases in one day. You’re excited, we get it. Regardless, you’re not the only game in town:

  • Crack The Whip: Motivational phrases with even more motivational whip cracking.
  • Jump O'Clock brings Glu Mobile’s highly addictive steampunk-themed iPhone game to webOS.
  • FlightTrack lets you track domestic and international flights with a stunning interface.

There’s plenty more newness to be had, but you’re going to have to jump past the break to see it. Bwahahaha.

Wow AppBookShop is really tipping the crapware scales with the influx of $3.99 apps...

Yeah, but there is something zen-like about having "A Beginners Guide to Yoga" on a device modeled after a river stone. :-)

Bank of America has an webOS app now. This was mentioned by another user in an earlier post but it's worth mentioning again. The app works well. I tried finding it on Pre Central App feed but didn't find it. And I don't think it was officially mentioned by Derek, et al.

Just found the BofA app at http://developer.palm.com/webChannel/index.php?packageid=com.bankofameri.... For me, it's worth more than all the AppBooks above. Should AppBooks really be called apps????

Thanks for the tip!

One of these days Laminar Research will have the common decency to release more than X-Plane 9 and Giant Fighting Robots to those outside of the US.

Seriously... I don't think many of these in the list can be considered "Apps", Perhaps they should be called "Look what I made when I was on Break"

I honestly think that Android will BE WebOS in the near future

Gee, that's great. Now how about a voice activated dialing application and a voice recording memo application? C'mon folks !! These are basic feature my old Nextel Brick phone had eons ago, and somehow the Pre with all of it's potential did not come with these features. How in god's name can you record video with audio, but no voice recording app????

I'm disappointed in the way PALM has dropped the ball on basic features.

Jump O'clock is awesome, my favorite PDK app by far! Also I just got my ampache server running and am streaming music to my pre. I love this phone.

Derek, here's a suggestion: When posting the New App list on a day when some app-spammer company has just dumped a load, group all that company's apps together after the other new apps.

I'm not thinking of this as a spammer punishment since in a way the company is getting special billing with all their apps grouped together. The main reason I suggest this is so the single-submitter companies don't get lost in the clutter.

For example, today there would have been 3 sections
