Palm Plans App Store, Claims Developers Will Come

Palm Pré
Palm Pré

Palm plans on opening an application store for its upcoming Palm Pré device, a place where it will be able to "pick and choose" the best Pré apps to offer users. The company will be able to do so because Palm feels confident that developers will flock to the Pré platform.

"We have made it a priority for the new system to be as easy as possible to develop for," Palm CEO Ed Colligan said Wednesday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, according to a Marketwatch report.

The company will be able to leverage the 30,000 registered Palm developers, though the Pré will use a new operating system called WebOS, and Mr. Colligan claimed that many Web developers will be able to develop for the platform, too.

Palm has not yet revealed details about its upcoming application store, but Mr. Colligan's description suggests that Palm will control what is offered through the store like Apple does with its App Store on iTunes, but that users would have access to applications outside Palm's store, too.

Apple currently only allows application installment from the App Store through iTunes management.

Palm joins Microsoft (Windows Marketplace for Mobile -- that's a real name, not a joke), and Nokia (Ovi Store) in announcing plans for an online application store to follow in Apple's footsteps during the Mobile World Congress. Palm has gained substantial positive press for its Pré platform since announcing it in January of this year.

They may do well ... i have an iPod but have been disappointed that i can’t store recipes (MS Word) nor pdf files so i have to carry both my iPod and Palm when traveling ... would love it if Apple would allow those apps into iPods.
