New in the App Catalog for 31 March 2010, International and 2000 apps edition 31

by Derek Kessler Thu, 01 Apr 2010 11:52 am EDT

App Catalog To awesome things happened yesterday. First with the webOS 1.4.1 update the App Catalog e-commerce system went international, allowing webOS users around the world to start purchasing apps. Secondly, with that update came many new apps, so many that when we pull together apps from Europe, Canada, and the US, the App Catalog now has over 2000 apps. 2013, to be specific. With paid apps available now in Europe, we imagine that the slowly-rising app total is going to accelerate now to a more acceptable clip. Speaking of acceptable clips, we got so many updates yesterday to enable international app purchases that the auto-sorting engine we use here to generate this list broke and only listed the two hundred most recent updates. So needless to say, there were a lot of updates, so international webOS users should be seeing a considerable jump in the number of available apps. Oh, and there were 27 new apps to boot. Interested in that truncated list? You know you are - it's waiting for you after the break.

To clarify, the tlhIngan mu'gom app (not by me) is a Klingon dictionary app.

Palm, don't give yourself a pat on the shoulder. Ask someone to kick you in the nuts. Open the AppCat to every Pre user on the planet!

Nothing I want or need (that I don't already own). Sigh. Where's my Slingbox player? Where's Flash? A VPN client?

Posted by chillywill_95831 on Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:46 am EDT

is anyone having an issue with their Timepiece app not opening up? Also, I have Preware and I'm not able to get launcsher headers back??? Can anyone confirm?

Posted by bjs188 on Thu, 01 Apr 2010 11:52 am EDT

give the developer a day or 2 to make it work w/ 1.4.1(.1 if sprint). Check preware in a day or two, and you will probably be able to update it to work

Posted by kipm on Thu, 01 Apr 2010 1:38 pm EDT

My Timepiece is also not opening and could not get launcher page names to update or remove. Had to do an emerency patch removal and then reload all manually. Have my page names and all other patches back. Am considering removing Timepiece and reinstalling if an update does not come in the near future,

Posted by PHANTOM_PAIN on Thu, 01 Apr 2010 11:54 am EDT

You say there is 2013 apps, I only see 1861? What is everyones elses counts?

Posted by DanPLC on Thu, 01 Apr 2010 12:31 pm EDT

Mine's 1861.

Posted by karstenskov on Thu, 01 Apr 2010 1:59 pm EDT

Mine is a whopping 415, so I'd be happy with 1500+ apps.

Posted by dreamersofzions... on Thu, 01 Apr 2010 12:17 pm EDT

Thank you, Dieter, for changing the DZ.Tanks description to not say beta, since we've finished the beta test with almost 2000 testers, and received great feedback. That's why we decided to press forward with an official "early edition" at a temporary discount of $0.99.

Posted by jay005 on Thu, 01 Apr 2010 12:23 pm EDT

My App Cat is only showing 1861 but either way I'm glad to see new apps continue to roll out and updates to WebOs

Posted by PHANTOM_PAIN on Thu, 01 Apr 2010 12:46 pm EDT

Hey Derek!!! How are you getting or seeing the 2013 apps? I just click on "What's New" then shows a count of 1861 in the upper right corner. I want to make sure there is nothing wrong with my Pre (Sprint).

Posted by Binson on Fri, 02 Apr 2010 1:59 am EDT

I have a Pre Minus, too (Sprint) and my cataloge shows the same as you.

I think there are location based apps pending specific carriers and locations. i.e. we dont have the tethering app available on Sprint that is available on the Verizon Pres, German version, etc. So by "we pull together apps from Europe, Canada, and the US" it is all available apps, not apps available to all.

Posted by saint_17_us on Thu, 01 Apr 2010 2:51 pm EDT

do I have to remove my patches before updating? And turn off my overclocking?

Posted by Binson on Fri, 02 Apr 2010 2:00 am EDT

I'm pretty sure there's a forum for that somewhere. ;)
