Yeah this is exactly why I bought an iPhone when my Treo 700 died after only a year of use. I couldn’t take Palm’s tepid pace of innovation anymore. Being this late to the app store game is just another perfect example.

Palm, really? I wasn’t sure they were around anymore; I rarely see them in the mass stores these days. Too little, too late on the “App Store” news here.

“But Palm has one strength here: their device lineup. Of all the on-device application stores currently up and running, Palm’s got the widest array of handsets.”

I think your missing the point here.

Having more devices isn’t necessarily something to boast about, because it means more form factors which means developers cannot easily target their applications.

Apple has a distinct advantage here, because the developers understand the hardware features that they are developing for

e.g. GPS/Wifi/Screen Size/Touch Screen/No Keyboard/In-built GPU

And for the 7 or so palm users left, this will help them prolong buying a new phone for another 6 months.

The App Store is basically a link to the web page http://software.palm.com/us/mobile/, there’s not even an unique icon for the app. (It uses Internet Explorer’s icon.)

This is a huge load of crap. Unless their new OS is really completely different, in every aspect, they’re doomed. With lots of luck, Microsoft might snap them up.

This is just a sad story. I’ve been a long time Palm user (from the US Robotics day) and I am on my 3rd Treo phone. It’s clear to me that Palm is pretty much out of the game now. They officially dropped support of java on their phones last year – you need to jump through hoops to get apps to run and very few of the new apps developers seem to want to make a version for a non-Win Mobile Palm phone.

Sad part is the original app store for phones was based on the Palm OS years ago. I’ve spent far more on apps for my phones than I spent on the phones themselves. In a month or so, I’m likely going to give in and get an iPhone.

Correction: Apple has more than 2 devices, since the iPod Touch also supports App Store.
