18 apps were available at launch from the app catalog and presently there are 30 applications. The Palm Pre is the second phone to be launched with an app store at time of launch. The only other phone was the HTC Dream aka T-Mobile G1.

this is great news and proving that the pre is going to be a force to be reckoned with... and when there is more competition that only means better things for us trhe consumers to see since they are going to be outcompeting eachother

i have customers tellin my iphone has OVER 60000 APPS all the time and i just look at them and im like...you're gonna put 60,000 apps on your iphone? They obviously say no and then im like well then why you need 60,000 apps if the 12 that you actually download are the ones on the palm pre store :) and also the iphone didnt ship with the store so pre is already 1 up on iphone. B*TCHES :P

come on venum...I was with you until the app store shipping out with device part....I mean was there even any mobile device with a viable app store when Apple released theirs....lol...ahhhh noooo....I mean even verizon is creating their own app store for non smartphones...lol...after the apple app store came, blackberry, windows, pre....I mean the pre just came out after app stores showed by apple seemed to be a must for a smartphone to succeed at a great level as we can see by the sales of iphones...lol....so the last statement is not even relevant seeing as the iphone came out back in 2007 before an app store was almost a level of necessity which apple made it....I don't like to always stand up for apple lol...but I will always speak up if someone is making a comment that needs refuting...lol
