Palm's App Catalog getting paid apps on September 24?

by Chris Ziegler posted Sep 18th 2009 at 1:44PM
Digital Daily's stumbled across a leaked document apparently addressed to webOS devs that shows a timeline for bringing paid apps to the webOS App Catalog, and one date in particular stands out: September 24 for go-live. The infrastructure's been in beta for a while now, giving everyone some time to get up to speed on the process and iron out the bugs, but for end users, the launch will likely happen in concert with the webOS 1.2 update we've been expecting this month and a redesigned Catalog app designed to support payments. Now, how long before we've got a bazillion-dollar I Am Rich app in there?

What is in the update that the phone should have done out of the box?

I havent read up on the update yet so forgive if this is a dumb question.

the biggest things i'm looking forward to is being able to download/view items from within the web browser and expanded copy/paste functions. like they jj said, things it should've been doing from day one if Palm had actually been paying attention to the competition

and that's kind of what it comes down to about people jumping ship. yeah against WinMo webOS is missing some things. for some people it doesnt matter such as yourself, you don't care about extensive copy/paste and/or web browser saving/downloading. I on the other hand used it almost every day when i had my touch pro and it'd be nice to have it on the pre as well

It you spend some time over at PreCentral, you get a much different picture about what people want. And the things your mentioning don't get mentioned over there. Video recording seems to get mentioned over and over, but that's another feature that I used all of once on Touch Pro. You can download with the web browser with a tweak. Viva la homebrew!

[jbearamus]

yes viva la homebrew
and i do spend time over @ precentral tinkering with things and its great that we can but like i said, quite a few of this should have been included in WebOS from the start

Im excited about 1.2 because of the various speed improvements, and a lagless dialer app. It should be a pretty good update. Another thing i would like that i haven't seen mentioned, is when you do a back swipe, it takes like 2 seconds to do the action. I would like a little quicker gesture response, but that may be included in the various speed improvements.
