Herb Parsons checks in with an excellent review of Outline Tracker for webOS!
One of the things I’ve missed on my Palm Pre is is a good ToDo list. As long time users of Palm devices are well aware, our calendar integrated Tasks from the PalmOS is gone on the Pre, and was replaced with … well, not much really. The Tasks application that comes with the Pre and Pixi seems a bit anemic at best. With limited features and little to no integration with other apps, it’s become one of the "forgotten features" of my Pre. After 7 months, it looks like patience may have finally paid off for those of us looking and waiting for something more. Outline Tracker from Hominid Software (also available in a free version) will be a welcome relief for many WebOS users.

Sometimes there are simply light days in the App Catalog. We suppose it makes up for the days that come with baked in awesome. At the very least we have one developer that has released a free version of a much-maligned type of app, presumably to judge the kind of interest such an app would generate if freely available instead of being a paid app. So far, the download count’s not looking so good for… well, lets see if you can guess which I’m talking about.

One thousand one hundred eleven. Eleven eleven. Eleventy eleventeen. Or just 1,111. That’s just a wacky number to roll out of bed and see. But that’s how many apps there are in the Palm App Catalog right now, at least on the Palm Pre on Sprint – no saying how many you’ll find in other locales (except that it is depressingly less). Hopefully that’ll change sooner than later, but in the meantime we do have one thousand one hundred eleven apps to peruse, with the newest all listed after the break.
