Only hours away from Palm launching paid apps, news from Palm Developer Community Manager Chuq Von Rospach, is positive, but not entirely promising:
We got more applications than we could handle well, which is a good problem to have. Unfortunately, it means we dropped some things on the floor, and that’s bad, but with the impending “stuff” that’s coming, this is all going to get a lot easier for everyone and a lot more transparent.
With the homebrew community already pumping out applications it shouldn’t be much surprise that Palm is getting a lot of apps submitted. A major appeal to WebOS is the ability to use commonly used Web code to write applications, which means there are a lot more people who can create applications. On a positive note, there will be a way to do almost anything you’d want to do with your WebOS device, but if Palm is not careful in their App selection the App Catalog will be over run with pointless fart and virtual beer drinking apps. It will be very interesting to see what Palm has approved, and what must-have apps will be officially made available tomorrow and at what price.
