New in the App Catalog for 30 July 2010

PreCentral 4:19am by: Derek Kessler
Yesterday was a light day in the App Catalog, again dominated by our friends at Upward Mobility. They may have pumped some 123 test prep apps into the App Catalog to date, but we’re fine with that - afterall, they aren’t piles of you-can-find-it-with-Google wallpapers, quotes, and public domain books.

The Official Palm Blog Fri 4:28pm by: Palm, Inc.
