Palm Pre Apps - Page 2

I was trying to find an online list of Pre apps to get an idea of what was available and found this. It has shots and descriptions of at least some of them.

Looking over these, my initial reaction is that they look like a bunch of iPhone widgety style apps without very much substance. Hoping this is not the case.

*edit* Can anyone that has the phone comment on the typical cost of some of these? Actually, it looks like a lot of these are stock apps, and not from the app store?

*edit* I can't seem to find a comprehensive list of the apps anywhere. I just read that they are all currently free apps though. Can anyone confirm that?

Actually Drybonz, they are a mixture of apps available in the App Catalog and stock apps. They are pretty much just widget style apps so far, but I wouldn't say they lack substance. I did find the AccuWeather and Fandango apps pretty useful, and I like the option of being able to view a trailer for any movie for Fandango. They are all free at the moment, like Connect 4, but none of the apps I've seen list how long the trials last.

Sprint has stated that no application will be over $5.00

Ha look guys stop picking on things! the damn phone just came out give it some time! soon it will have as much as the iphone has we will soon have something like jail break for the pre its inevitable I love this phone and i am never leaving sprint again and I left ounce to get the iphone3G and came back the muti-tasking you can do with this phone is Superior to NONE! And trust me I know! I was doing like 5 things at ounce and the phone didnt even flinch! NOW i never expericed this yet but i heard with the treo pro u can be online and talk at the same time? Now if this phone was able to talk and be on sprint Nav or Online all at the same time!!! Now that would be UNBEATABLE!!

What are you talking about? I don't see a single post in this entire thread that is criticizing anything about the phone?!?!?

I would like some more information on the apps/app store, as I am trying to make a decision on purchasing one. So since you own and are in love with the phone here is your chance to offer up some substantive information in support of it. Hook it up.

That seems kinda out of left field

....I hope they come out with some great apps, competition is good

I think I am going to the Sprint store later on to play with this sucker, I am just curious since everyone is talking about it.
