Palm developer registration error provides paid apps clue
Bet you Palm did not see this one coming. While trying to register as a WebOS developer with Palm, psartini received an error message containing code with references to VAT – Value Added Tax, which is a tax used in many countries around the world, including South Africa. People are saying that this code points to the fact that Palm is getting ready to make paid apps on the App Catalog available to international users. Am holding all my thumbs, not all the time of course, only when I am not typing on my phone. In addition Electronic Arts are making their WebOS games available for free to international users, until end of this month apparently. This is another clue pointing towards international paid apps coming soon, maybe April. I received an email from O2 Germany this morning about EA games for the Pre. You may recall that my Pre is from O2 Germany. Unable to read much German at all ja, I assumed it was about paid apps, but now I know different. Am going to see if I can download the EA games via the App Catalog tonight. Exciting times ahead. Thanks to Alastair for passing this info on.
Could this be the start of a webOS global take over !
I hope that is the reaper I hear outside the iPhone door lol !
Palm has to get more global footing here, I think their stratergy is good and well planned ! They have got a very serious longterm plan and its gonna take time !
One more sleep to Pre !
My german could not get the free EA apps via the app catalog
You are welcome to pass that German on, will have a look at it for you.
Just got my Pre ! OMG !
Opened up App Store no problems 320 apps available !
Running WEBos 1.13 out the box…so we wait for update eeek !
Congratulations on getting your Pre. Nothing beats those first moments with a new phone
But wtf re the App Store? How come you have access I wonder. Hope it doesn’t disappear once your phone upgrades itself.
not sure about the app store…..let me checkh again on MY PRE which just happens to be here quickly….mmmmm…..yep 320 apps I’m diggin it !
Spans of free apps here !
Google maps workin too !
I have had so many doubts about limitations that this is blowing my pip !
I am stoaked the network hasn’t found me yet for the 1.4 update so I just hope it all don’t go pear after that !
Maybe its an MTN thing ? With Vodafone some intrenational devices work perfectly.
Keep you posted !
Well my app cat is gone and giving me the Yellow Triangle.
That’s WebOs 1.4 for you !
Hi Doug welcome. Will check out IPK Fetcher. How do you find the Pre’s battery life?
Looks like IPK Fetcher has been neutralised by Palm. See here: http://forums.precentral.net/gsm-pre/234260-ipk-fetcher.html
Hi
Got a Pre from Cacell too. Love the OS. Just wishing for App catalog access again. You can work around this for free apps by using IPK fetcher, was posted on Precentral about a week ago.
Enjoy,
Doug
and then there were three !
Asking all Pre owners !
Is there a little play between top and bottom of your Pre when in the closed position ?
i think its a normal slider thing but I can’t help but be nervous with the “Oreo effect ” doing the rounds
mine also has a bit of play, very slight.
phew !
how are you loading apps onto pre ?
using webos quick install ? doesn’t seem to load apps onto pre ?
your app store still poked?
Just got a Beta App Store on my Pre !!!!!
Could this be a sign of greater things to come WOOOT WOOOOT !
way cool! How did you get?
