Palm launches e-commerce beta for the App Catalog {Engadget}
Aug 18th 2009 10:46AM What Josh seemed to miss here is something that is being pointed out by he and his minions every week on the Engadget podcast... that the Palm App Submission Process is NOT like Apple's "spin the wheel" process. Specifically:
- - - - - - - - - - -
Palm will accept apps into the beta test program based on the following criteria:
Apps should be useful and engaging to users.
They need to have an appealing design and user interface aligned with Palm UI guidelines.
They are written specifically for webOS and not delivered through the browser.
They leverage webOS platform and device capabilities, for example, notifications, multitasking/background processing, location services, accelerometer.
They have acceptable performance and response time on the device; apps with slow UI response or sluggish performance will be rejected. Applications that consume excessive power on the device will also be rejected.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Now, in my eyes, this is the way life SHOULD be. You write a decent app and we'll include it. Not we'll include it if it doesn't contain dictionary entries we don't like (which, by the way, reminds me of the Monty Python bookshop skit) or include functionality that the parent company wishes it had included from the beginning - like Apple.
