Today Palm (more info) has launched it App store and asked developers to submit their webOS Applications for Palm App Catalog e-commerce beta program. Palm Pre (more info) currently has only 30 (oops!) apps. Here are basic details

1). 70% of revenue goes to the developers.

2). Limited to US as of now.

3). Both free and paid( minimum .99 cents) apps allowed.

4). Should follow the quality standards laid down by Palm.

5). Apps have to submitted via E-Mail, no dedicated interface available yet.

Well this is very similar to way Apple (more info) started with its App store and many of the conditions/details are almost similar.

Other piece of App news comes from RIM (more info) who has now made it easier for Blackberry (more info) user to download Apps from Blackberry App World Store. A web version in now available and in order to download the app, you just need submit your E-Mail and the download link will be send to you mobile device.

Will this disturb Apple? Not at all. Both Palm and RIM are far behind Apple and Android (more info) in the smart phone Apps busniness.
