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?

About the current situation

It’s been a while since we blogged something here.

There where many changes since our last post. But we’re alive and I will give you a short summary about our development & apps in the current situation, that HP has dumped all webOS hardware.

TouchPad update (Mojo)
First thing, we don’t leave all you TouchPad owners out in the cold! Even if HP has dumped all the TouchPads, there are plenty of you out there that already bought one and we understand that you want to use them.
There is no native TouchPad application from us available in the AppCatalog yet, but ColorHarmony will be the first one, we submitted it today and if all runs fine, will be available in the next couple of days. We also prepare Headlines for the TouchPad, both apps are still Mojo versions, but they will get “back” buttons on different scenes and we adjust the screen real estate so that it matches the bigger screen better.

We got plenty of question about our TrackMyTransit apps, currently we don’t plan to bring them to the TouchPad, because these apps are built for really mobile usage on a phone that you carry always with you. Currently it makes no sense to pull a TouchPad out of your pocket ( :-) ) and check the latest bus schedules.

Pre3 update
Even if the Pre3 will never be available as hardware to ourselves, we currently update Headlines to match the bigger screen and update the used images with higher resolution (1.5x) size so that it looks great on the 480×800 resolution.
We’ll see in the coming days/weeks how any Pre3 are used in the wild and we will than decide if we adjust other apps from our portfolio also to the Pre3. At the moment that is lowprio, due to the cancelation of the Pre3.

Touchpad native (Enyo)
We had 3 apps in development before HP doomed all webOS hardware last week. At the moment all Enyo apps are on hold. We’ve plenty of work with porting our Mojo apps to Touchpad resolution (see above) and maybe in the meanwhile we get some updates from the webOS Development team about the current situation and we can work again on our planned apps.

So check the AppCatalog in the coming days/weeks and there will more&more of our apps appear also for the TouchPad/Pre3.
