PhoneScoop: Palm Pre App Catalog

Of course the Palm Pre is the first device that will be able to access the yet to be released Palm app catalog. We will look at the beta version now that was loaded on to the Pre so you will get a sense of how it works. Pressing the App Catalog here very similar to other app stores that we have seen from competitors to Palm. We will take a few minutes to load and populate the store. There is not a whole lot of applications here right now and you can see the big beta signal there. You can see the application have ratings, star ratings. If we want to check out Pandora we will load that up and you can see it has been reviewed 28 times. Its been downloaded 2007 times. The application itself is 253 kB and if you want to we can read reviews and you can see how its tagged and sorted on the page itself. You want to download push the download button. Most applications download in just several seconds and then they will automatically install themselves and then after the application is installed the app catalog remains open. It doesnt exit out. We can continue to search for other applications or we can launch Pandora directly from there and you can see how that works. So thats a quick view of how the Palm App Catalog will work.
