It is Thursday and that means it’s time for another Palm Press. Palm Press is our weekly look at the world of Palm. Last week I reported the App Catalog was up to 525 apps, and today it’s already at a “whopping” 636. That’s a 20 percent increase in just a week, so maybe Palm is cranking up the approval process to get apps out the door and in the Catalog.
A while back we reported that Palm Profile backups were getting corrupted, resulting in data loss for some Pre owners. One owner has taken particular offense at the loss and has filed suit against Palm. The Pre owner hopes to turn the suit into a class action suit. At issue is the inability to restore his personal data to a replacement Pre supplied when he returned a defective Pre that had been duly backed up. No doubt the fact that this was his fourth defective Pre played a role in the decision to sue.
There are a log of blogs on the WordPress platform, this blog is one, and it is great news that a webOS WordPress app should enter a beta “soon.” Mobile WordPress apps make it possible to blog and do other housekeeping chores from the phone. A webOS version of the WordPress app will be a very useful tool for Pre and Pixi owners who blog, although it will be coming from a third-party developer — not officially from WordPress — and will require a WordPress plug-in installed on the server side.
