Remember Palm? The company's been a bit quiet of late, but just in time for Christmas has launched its own take on the App Store.
It's called Palm Software Store, and is an on-handset application that's interestingly available for Windows Mobile handsets, as well as those running the Palm OS.
The company is working with existing app retailer PocketGear on the store, which has launched with 5,000 apps available of which more than 2,000 are games.
The revenue share isn't as good as some of its rivals, mind developers submitting apps to the Palm store only get a 50 per cent revenue share, rather than the 70 per cent offered by Android Market and Apple.
Palm's store does support more handsets, though 25 at launch. Its launch comes as Palm gears up to unveil its next mobile OS, apparently codenamed Nova, at January's CES show.
