I check the app store multiple times a day like an addict... I'm getting tired of waiting... seriously bring on the apps!!
same here. i just want something, anything but syncing software or restaurant reviews
I agree. lol
I totally agree, I ditched my Touch Pro filled with applications...I do like the Palm Pre, it does have a future but right now I'm missing my Touch Pro
This is a pretty big lapse by Palm. They should have ensured a steady trickle of new Apps into the catalog.
Bring out the SDK - I would like to start ...
Link?
I'm waiting for critical apps before I buy a pre... why no link to an app catalog online?
You guys must understand that when the iPhone came out in 2007 that there were very few apps for a long long time! Why are we unfairly rushing apps for this device that has been born for 12 days?!
unrelated: I have full signal EV Do Rev A in my area right now. I just ran speed tests on two different websites: mobilespeedtest.com and dslreports.com/mspeed my results were 2.34 Mbps and 1364 Kbps! These speeds seem absurdly fast for 3G connectivity, but I can't argue with results. The highest I have ever seen on iPhone's At&t is 400 Kbps! You guys visit the websites and test your 3G speeds.
I believe we will see a slew of applications show up mid-week next week; after the Pre advertising campaign blossoms nationwide.
@Daniel: Yes you are right that when the iPhone started, it practically didn't have any apps. The problem with that though is the iPhone made the phone industry aware that users wanted application support on their mobile devices. They no longer found it acceptable with the service providers providing the content and in turn took that power right away via applications so users could get what they want, when they want it. The folks at Palm knew this would be an important point, and I feel like they've really dropped the ball (from a outside-looking-in perspective) by not having a plethra of the most common / popular apps ready to go on their device. Sure the other phones didn't have it at first, but now they do and a user has to pick between a phone that has it now and one that doesn't. :: coughs :: It's the now network, right?
