Happy New Year! Taking a time out from fireworks and festivities, Palm has cleared an arbitrary numerical milestone: one thousand apps are now available in the (U.S.) webOS App Catalog. Not a bad number at all, especially considering that webOS devices have only been available to the public for six months. And, of course, that’s not counting the numerous homebrew applications out there in the unofficial distribution channels…
So what was that thousandth app? No less than Engadget’s new webOS app, a well-crafted little piece of software that lets you browse through the popular gadget blog with a flick and a swipe in a very mobile-friendly format.
Congratulations Palm – here’s to thousands more apps in 2010!
