App Catalog - still waiting
The Pre came with a few generic applications, nothing I can say I can use with any regularity. I'm anticipating the flow of applications now that the sdk is fully released, but I'm not holding my breath.
As I indicated in an earlier post, there is no Facebook or similar app (just LinkedIN). There are some other social networking tools, but nothing that really grabbed me. There is only one game, a demo of Connect 4, which I didn't bother trying since I understand it is limited in use on account of being a Demo.
I'm hopeful that with Palm's SDK out of beta now, apps will start showing up, but I'm not holding my breath. They've got a long way to go to catch up to iPhone;s and Google's apps. The positive note about that though, as a friend pointed out, I don't have to worry about sifting through hundreds of useless apps to find a good one, as you need to do on the iPhone or G1. I might be willing to trade that in though to be able to have some handy or fun apps on my Pre
