Pre and the webOS have brought about Palm's revival. Now that it is back in the hunt, it can comfortably concentrate on growth. It now features nearly 950 titles and is expected to cross the 1,000 app mark after Palm's CES keynote. The pace at which apps are being added to the App Catalog is a trickle compared to the App Store, which hit the 10,000 apps mark in just six months (almost the time Palm's mobile app store has been around). The Palm App Catalog is just not in the App Store league and might never leap so high, but it is important for Palm to keep moving in the right direction.

If anyone remembers Palm's history, the debacle with the Palm Pre apps i seven more amazing. I've owned Palm devices for 13 years, starting with the Palm Pilot, followed be a total of 7 different PDA's. What really made them work was the easy access to thousands of third-party software programs. Palm was doing an app store a decade before Apple ever released the iPhone. With that history, plus with the obvious success of the app store, it's a major screw up by Palm managment to not have an app store up and running the day they released the Pre. Major f-up.

A gift from Palm for the new year - they made it to the 1,000 app mark! Now that they have that landmark, hopefully, there is a slowing down of app spam (Brighthouse anyone?).
