I haven’t posted any news for some time here. Reason is, that I try to get Headlines2 for webOS out to the HP AppCatalog as soon as possible.

So to give you a short status on Headlines2 I’ve made a short video to show you how to read articles in Headlines2.

I hope you like it. Be sure that there are many nice little details in this app that you’ll love, once it’s released ;-)

Going big and bigger!

With big and bigger we mean of course, the Pre3 and the TouchPad!

First, the smaller one – Pre3

Today HP approved an update for Headlines 1.0.2 for webOS that use of the full screen, means that the 20px bottom bar visible on most non-adjusted apps is no longer there, instead the app takes advantage of the full resolution by 480×800 and also got some updated graphics for it, because most of the scaled graphics didn’t look that good. Have a look in the AppCatalog on your device to get it.

Second, the bigger one – TouchPad

ConvertorWe’re happy to announce that HP also approved a new app we submitted. And it’s called Convertor XL(AppCat link). Yep, it is the premium unit & currency conversion utility now in big size with adjustments for the TouchPad UI. So still the same huge amount of units & currencies (over 400!). Still fully customizable to your needs.
Available for $1.99 around the world (where AppCatalog with paid apps is available).

And we have a special promotion for all our existing Convertor users, that bought the phone version earlier. We will announce that later today in an extra post, so if you’re already bought the app, stay tuned!

Insights in TouchPad usage – Statistics of an app!

Since HP’s fire-sale of their webOS devices TouchPad sales gone crazy and most of the webOS developers saw a nice increase of downloads of their app. No matter if free or paid versions.

One of our apps ColorHarmony is available for a long time already for all the phones and since end of August also for the TouchPad. We track some device distribution statistics for over a year now and we were really surprised on how many users are already downloaded and used this app on the TouchPad.

Enough words typed, let pictures speak.

Device Distribution overall (Emulator is development)

Different ScreenResolutions

Download stats for the last couple of days

As a summary, these stats are tracked over the last 12 months, except the download stats that are representing only the last weeks, since TouchPad launch. And as you see, the TouchPad has already taken the 2nd place, has left the usage on Pixi‘s behind and is only a few weeks on the market.
I also not included a number on how many apps are used out there, because it would make no difference if overall are 1000 or 100.000 users of ColorHarmony.

Now think what could have been happened if HP has done the launch of the latest device (Pre3, Veer and of course the TouchPad) right?

ColorHarmony available on any webOS device! Again.

ColorHarmony is now available on the TouchPad for a few days already, but with this submission to the AppCatalog it was not available for all the phones with webOS out there anymore.

This has been changed with the latest 1.6.1 release together with some enhancements for the shiny new devices.

  • fixed display of HEX color values on the TouchPad
  • better handling of back gestures (TouchPad)
  • Pre3 ready now with some now images
Best of all, it’s still free!
So launch your AppCatalog on whichever webOS device you are and download your copy today!
