Overwhelming webOS App Catalog Submissions
Application sales in the Palm App Catalog will begin this Thursday. You can be sure that a number developers have submitted their applications for consideration. Well, it appears that the huge number of submissions have overwhelmed Palm.
The delay brought about by the number of submissions have left many developers wondering about the status of their submission. Palm has decided to respond to the increasing number of questions about webOS app submission status.
Palm Developer Community Manager Chuq Von Rospach posted the following on Palm’s developer discussion boards:
We got more applications than we could handle well, which is a good problem to have. Unfortunately, it means we dropped some things on the floor, and that's bad, but with the impending "stuff" that's coming, this is all going to get a lot easier for everyone and a lot more transparent.
If you didn't get a response in a timely manner, let me apologize to you. We should have done a better job on this, and I apologize for this. I'm working with the people I work with on this to try to make sure we do a better job of this moving forward. Good news is we've hired some people -- one's started, one starts next week, and the third starts the week after that, and that'll give us some great people and some new resources to make sure this gets fixed and works properly
Well, this is a good thing for Palm webOS fans. This means that we have plenty of quality apps heading our way The developers should also be happy with this response.
Can't wait until Thursday.
