HP’s been making a lot of noise about building an ecosystem of webOS device. They’ve talked about tablets and netbooks and printers, oh, and maybe some phones too. But they haven’t really laid any public concrete plans as to what is coming next. We have a sneaking suspicion that the overwhelming response to this question is going to be "OMG new smartphone now!", but we thought we’d ask anyway. So, here goes…

New in the App Catalog for 30 July 2010
PreCentral.net (blog) I feel special or something.  By Sicembaylor on Sat, 31 Jul A hugh thank you for your consideration and valuable apps for us palm pre users. …and more » |
Yesterday was a light day in the App Catalog, again dominated by our friends at Upward Mobility. They may have pumped some 123 test prep apps into the App Catalog to date, but we’re fine with that – afterall, they aren’t piles of you-can-find-it-with-Google wallpapers, quotes, and public domain books. That doesn’t mean we won’t continue to give them a hard time, but it’s all in jest and for the sake of having something to say on a daily basis about the App Catalog.
Anyway, if you filter out the Upward Mobility apps, here’s what was left:
There’s more, but not a whole lot (it was Friday, after all), after the break. Hit it, you.

Since our last edition, Palm’s app catalog topped 3,000 (It’s quality, not quantity, right?), a clever fan-crafted Pre commercial earned high praises, AT&T dropped the Pre Plus to $99.99 online with activation, and HP decided to kick in a $50 gift card with the purchase of AT&T Palm phones.
Pinch-to-zoom is a good way to zoom in and out throughout webOS, but you can also perform a double-tap to quickly zoom in on large blocks of text within an email, website or document. Simply double-tap on the text you want to read and you will find that the device automatically zooms in so that text fits the screen width. If you want to quickly zoom out, just double-tap again. You can also double-tap on a Photo to zoom in to a specific spot.
