Palm App Catalog Glitch Locks Out WebOS Users

Posted by Soulskill on Sunday May 16, 2010 @01:12AM from the less-than-handy dept.

hazmat2k writes "Palm's App Catalog appears to have suffered a meltdown of sorts, with users of Palm Pre, Pixi, Pre Plus, and Pixi Plus handsets reporting that after having downloaded a new title — whether paid or free — no aftermarket software would run properly. The issue remained even after fully erasing and restarting the phone; in fact, the apps were still installed even after that process was completed. Core functionality — calls, messaging, and data — were all unaffected. Palm acknowledged the issue on its blog, and later said that it had been fixed."

Not true. The software just downloaded would not run properly, but all other aftermarket software previously installed was unaffected.
