Nearly 8 million downloads in the App Catalog

Nearly 8 million downloads in the App Catalog


Back on October 5th, Palm announced their App Distribution Program, slated for a December release. In that press release were details of how developers can get their applications into the App Catalog, utilize the web distribution platform, and how Palm plans on embracing the open source community. Dieter wrote an interesting editorial - certainly worth a read - but our esteemed editor missed a nice bit of news. Buried down in the bottom of this press release was this little tidbit:
Finally, we would like to take a moment to thank our early access partners and developers who have been working with us to build our platform and program. Today these partners have introduced over 125 applications that have been downloaded almost 8 million times since the first webOS device, the Palm Pre™ phone, shipped just three months ago. It has been great working with you, and we look forward to more!
That's right - nearly 8 million downloads on a 4 month old platform with only a handful of applications. Last time we had a solid number (back in August), the download count was about 2.5 million. It's not iPhone numbers, but we're ok with that.
With the European launch of the Pre starting in Europe and the Pixi slated for release before the holiday season here in the US, the reach of the webOS platform is growing, and I think we can expect that 8 million number to rapidly grow.
