Palm Pulls Paid Apps from App Catalog, Update: Restored
The font of paid apps from the Official App Catalog has suddenly reversed itself. As we noted in the update below, Palm has pulled every paid app off of the Catalog due to a critical security bug uncovered by the fine and discerning folks at webos-internals.
We aren't going to discuss the exact nature of the bug, but we'll say it was big and, well, pretty obvious in retrospect. [Update: the bug does NOT involve your credit card information, which is safe] We don't know when Palm will bring paid apps back, but we hope it's soon. Like very soon, because we liked what we saw and got all kinds of warm and fuzzy feelings when we had a chance to support the webOS development community with our hard-earned.
Chuq Von Rospach, Palm's Developer Community Manager, tweets that Apps should be back before sunup.
Update: Paid apps are back!
