Wed, 25 Aug 2010 9:49 am EDT

The new apps just keep coming, and we see that as a very good thing. Lots of fun stuff has been landing in the App Catalog early this week, and it continued yesterday:

Angry Birds... ‘nuf said.
MiniSquadron has you piloting an acrobatic flyer through the not-so-friendly skies.
Frootrees, another addicting game from another platform, wants you to grow your own froots. It’s a simple concept, but by golly if Farmville can be successful.

And there’s more, as you’ve already surmised it’s after the break. Go there.

Man.... I feel bad for our Verizon & AT&T siblings for not having 1.4.5.
Thanks Sprint!

verizon & ATT i am guessing have other reason for delaying these updates, they couldnt be still testing it..

From one of the Palm logs, they said they (Palm) are working hard to get 1.4.5 to more carriers. This implies it is Palm at least partly responsible for the hold up.

That being said...

Gee, Settledown sure looks like Settlers of Cataan, don't it?

Settledown sure is Settlers. I'll probably suck at Settledown too! LOL.

What likely occurred is Palm submitted to all 3 at the same time (why wouldn't they) then VZW and ATT probably raised a stink over some issue or another. Possibly the PDK save issue, possibly VZW didn't want the GPS bug fixed or maybe something else entirely. So Palm has to rework 1.4.5 while also working on 1.5 and 2.0.

Stteldown is a great game, I'm enjoying it a lot as breaks from Angry Birds. And you can't beat the price!

i called last night and was in a 3way call with an att rep and a palm rep. the palm rep said that thay didn't ship out the update to all carriers just sprint, but their still working on bringing it to other carriers. Lame i say. but atleast we know who has it.

so angry birds sold close to 3700 in less than a day, but the astraware stuff sold less than 150 total.

maybe astraware picked the wrong games, but these numbers have to be disappointed.

one review for angry birds stated that this 2$ app was the most they ever paid for an app.

uhg.
