Apple has redefined the software distribution system with their popular App Store and Palm has launched their own App Store. Unlike a native App Store application, the new Palm App Store is more or less a gateway to browse software using Blazer. It’s more or less a shortcut to their mobile web store, similar to visiting software.everythingtreo.com via Blazer.
When Palm announces their Nova OS next month at CES, we hope to see a native App Store application. Apple has set the standard with their App Store, RIM is expected to launch their App Store next month and Microsoft is expected to join the fray sometime next year. Software has always been a great way to expand the mobile experience and making it easier to get software on your device is the key to success.
You can download the new App Store directly from Palm. There is a Palm OS and Windows Mobile version available.
