Despite Palm rejecting a good media app earlier today due to an unapproved API, they have turned it around by approving many more tonight, notes Precentral. Adding to the library is a Google Voice app called gDial Pro, giving you a range of voice options including a unifying number, call forwarding, and voicemail transcriptions. This is a great plus for Pre users, as Apple has rejected similar apps on the iPhone (other webOS VoIP clients are also in the works, so we may see more soon).
More apps ready to download include:
- AccuRadio (AccuRadio): Streaming radio for the US and Canada.
- Local Concerts (iLike): Gives personalized concert information for your favorite artists.
- Simple Bible (Jev Vandegrift): A full Bible text with easy navigation and eBook features.
- Currency Converter (Janni Kovacs): Just as you would expect, it assists with conversion for international currency transactions.
- 420 Wallpaper (A Minor Label): Give your Palm Pre a new look with various backgrounds.
- Forbes (Forbes): Essential business news at your fingertips.
- New games, including Video Poker (bytesequencing.com), Checkers (Keen Studios), and Lights Out (Vasudeva Damarasingu).
Here's a selection of other apps released in the past couple weeks:
- UberPass: A password generator / password management solution.
- Lemonade: Similar to other popular lemonade stand games.
- CoinFlip: Flip a virtual coin and make your decision.
- Yelp: A popular restaurant finder app.
- Yahtzee Demo: A trial version of Yahtzee, more demos are likely to come with the upcoming Palm e-commerce beta program.
- Tetris Mania Demo: An early game by Electronic Arts, who should be also gearing up for paid games once implemented.
- The Canadian Press Mobile: Released alongside the Bell Canada Palm Pre, it provides up-to-date news for Canadians.
Looks like Palm is really getting the ball rolling on approving new apps. If you've submitted one, has it received the thumbs up as yet (and heading for the next batch of updates)? Or if you've got around to downloading some of them, which ones do you find yourself using / playing the most?
