Best Apps of 2009

The App Catalog has seen impressive growth since it first went live a little over 6 months ago. Palm's Early Access program brought in dozens of developers who have created over 1,000 applications in that time frame, and while we don't have access to as many apps as other smartphone platforms do, there are a number of high quality ones that fit into all of the important categories.

With that in mind, we've created a list of the must have applications that have come our way in 2009. If you're new to webOS (you should also see our getting started guide), or have been with the platform for awhile and are unaware of how the Catalog has grown over these last few months, this is a guide for you.

App Spotlight: Radiotime

Handset makers building FM tuners into phones is a barbaric and uncivilized practice, as Radiotime demonstrates by giving access to the online feeds of hundreds of thousands of terrestrial radio station feeds, talk radio, podcasts, and more.

There's a lot to like about Radiotime, and one of my favorite things is the fact that it's location aware, meaning that dialing into local radio is actually easier than using a standard FM tuner since the program automatically finds your location and displays a list of accessible radio stations.

Apparently we somehow missed hitting Friday’s apps while a certain blogger was offline for the weekend, but we’re dedicated here. So today we’re going to give you not just yesterday’s apps, but those from the past weekend too. So yeah, that’s a lot of apps. And as you might be able to guess, that means a long list, and that long list is all after the break.
