Wow, what a difference a week makes!
Last week saw the release of several highly anticipated games for webOS. Rovio’s Angry Birds, by some counts the most popular game on the iPad, has made it’s webOS debut. Filled with crazy pig defeating action, it has already wasted countless hours here at Palm HQ. Astraware also released their highly anticipated Sudoku and OddBlob apps. Go go webOS games!
Angry Birds and Pixi Dust are still dominating the top spots while the 50k tier has seen some back and forth jockeying for position. Galcon had slipped into #4 for a bit, but is back up to #3. On the free side Glow Hockey FREE came out of no where and zoomed straight to #2 in just a week. Clearly there’s demand for great new webOS apps.
Lower down in the rankings we are seeing a ton of movement.
Last week we had a few empty spots on the free side, but no more. Don’t think it means you can’t compete, however. We’ve still got a month left and every day a few more apps go from nothing to be right in middle of the pack. We’ve gotten an influx of interesting music & sound apps, including Drummer, Tonal Pool,
Mini Piano, Dog Whistle, and the always handy Service Bell.
On the Fast Mover’s side we can see that Angry Birds and Glow Hockey top the chart, no surprise, but further down there are a ton of interesting new apps popping up; such as The Billy Goat Brain Academy and puzzler Sigma from BigStack Studios.
Oh, and one more thing. webOS 1.4.5 shipped for the Verizon Pixi Pluses last night, which means there are even more phones out their waiting to buy your Hot Apps. Time to get to hackin’ on more apps!
