Unfortunately, I don't think this means that third parties will be able to distribute their apps outside of the Catalog. Based on the article, it seems that Palm is simply allowing third parties to develop custom views of the existing Catalog, hence the comment about themed sites featuring certain kinds of apps and allowing users to download straight to their device from those sites (as opposed to then going to the Catalog). But it doesn't sound like they'll be able to offer apps that aren't already in the Catalog database.]]>Jan 7th 2010 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/Jan 7th 2010 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/Jan 8th 2010 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/
Steve Jobs: What he F***ING F*** are they F***ING doing?!? those stupid F***ING sons of B****ES don't know what the F*** they're F***ING getting into! They're taking my original glorious idea of apps and letting other people have all the F***ING control, this isn't open sourced anarchy, these are F***ING apps!]]>Jan 7th 2010 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/No, seriously, this is why I sold my first gen iPhone and now posses a first gen Pre (Pre minus?!). Hate how apple restricts you in how you use what you own...]]>Jan 7th 2010 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/Jan 8th 2010 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/Jan 7th 2010 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/Jan 7th 2010 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/Try BeOS instead. :)]]>Jan 7th 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/Jan 7th 2010 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/
Not a bad deal if you ask me :)]]>Jan 7th 2010 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/
does that mean canadians will finally have a way to buy apps or do we still have to wait who knows how long for our ability to purchase apps through the catalog?]]>Jan 7th 2010 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/
I think you'll still have to wait. As I mentioned in a previous comment on this article, it seems the third parties will simply become portals to the Catalog. Visitors to those sites will be able to download apps directly from that site, but it sounds like the apps they're downloading will still have to exist in the Catalog, as opposed to third parties offering non-Catalog apps on their sites. The sites instead will be custom views of the Catalog, apparently.]]>Jan 7th 2010 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/Jan 7th 2010 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/Jan 7th 2010 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/

Really, I haven't liked a company this much since Apple introduced the iPhone (and then slowly updated it, to get as much profit).

I think Palm's back just in time.]]>Jan 7th 2010 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/palm-swings-open-doors-to-app-catalogs-innards/Just got my Pixi in the mail today.
