The App Catalog has come a long way since day one. As we saw earlier today the catalog now has over 200 apps. This is amazing progress and it is very exciting to see but, yes but, we have one big but that everybody has on their minds. Where are the high profile applications we are all waiting for?

Of course we want to support the smaller developers and all their hard work. It is all very much appreciated and some of the apps that have hit the catalog are very intuitive. However, there is a list of apps people are expecting to hit the catalog and these apps are on almost every other platform and they are very important if Palm wants its App Catalog to be one of the driving factors for the WebOS platform. these are the apps from the big already well known companies/developers. We have heard rumors about some of these, but have no solid dates and don't even know if we will for sure be getting any of these. I have taken upon myself to compile a short list of apps that are in dire need to get to the App Catalog for Palms sake. This is the list of apps and these apps really need to be here soon. In my opinion some need to be here before the holidays if Palm wants to really attract the Christmas shoppers. Check out the list after the break.
