App Catalog

Jon Rubinstein and Roger Mcnamee showed a preview of the beta version of the App Catalog. Applications featured in the beta version include AP News, Citysearch, Fandango, Pandora and uLocate.

The Fandango webOS app uses the Palm Pre’s location-based services to find theaters close to you, lets you watch trailers, buy tickets, and showtimes to your calendar and find directions to the theatre. The Pandora webOS app takes advantage of the webOS’s multitasking capabilities and runs in the background while you’re using other applications. It highlights a unique aspect of the notification bar which lets you see what song is currently playing and control or pause without needing to go back into the application.
