Palm Pre App Catalog Hits 300 Titles

For those keeping score in the mobile software wars, it�s roughly 100,000 to 10,000 to 300. That�s the number of available apps for iPhone, Android, and webOS devices, respectively. Although the number of apps for Palm is relatively much smaller, it is growing at a decent clip now. But I really thought it would move along a little quicker. After all, the bulk of the application coding � aside from the SDK that provides functionality to access the hardware and such � is HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Palm�s big push was that it�s easy to code webOS apps, so the thought was that developers would jump on it. Unfortunately, lower sales than that of its competitors isn�t giving devs the incentives they need. Oh well, there�s still some good apps in there and more on the way.
