Fifteen new App Catalog entrants, five homebrew graduates

It’s Thursday, and for us that’s come to mean new apps in the official App Catalog. Fifteen new apps landed in the App Catalog today, but it seems that Palm’s server is having a fit of hiccups and has been unable to serve any of the app pages (though the Updates app will bring you app updates just fine nevermind, that doesn't work properly either). We’ll update this post with more details on the new apps once the App Catalog is back up and running at full steam, but in the meantime, here’s a summary of the newness that landed this afternoon:

• Chess for webOS (by Fusion Creative Studios)
• DeadMan (by Fusion Creative Studios)
• Ditto (by Revision X Games)
• Dot Game (by Brandon VanBelle)
• Hebrew Calendar Trial Version (by Avner Arbel)
• MediPDA (by Palmdoc.net)
• P2GoogleVoice (by P2Labs)
• P2Snippets (by P2Labs)
• Pic Hunt – Pets (by Epic Tilt)
• Pic Hunt - Space Explorer (by Epic Tilt)
• Pic Hunt - Vintage Cars (by Epic Tilt)
• Reversi (by Rick Boatright)
• Send My Location for webOS (by Software for Mobile Phones)
• Survivor Samoa (by CBS Interactive)
• TipCalc (by Jamwam)

Dot Game, MediPDA, P2GoogleVoice, P2Snippets, and Reversi are all graduates from the PreCentral Homebrew Gallery. Congrats to developers Brandon VanBelle, Palmdoc.net, P2Labs, and Rick Boatright!

Those fifteen new apps weren’t the only newness in the App Catalog. Eight older apps also received updates, though none of them seem to bring major new features. The following apps received updates today:

• Checkers
• Connect 4 Demo
• Lemonade
• Mileage Monitor
• Pandora Radio
• PhotoDialer
• Tweed
• Zilch Lite

UPDATE: Chuq Von Rospach, Palm's Developer Community Manager, has chimed in on Twitter: "To those asking: yes, the new apps aren't downloadable yet. Will be in a bit. there's a glitch in the publishing process we need to fix."

Guess that's why the App Catalog still has that beta tag, eh?
