We’re glad to announce, that both our Translator as well as our Comics apps will be available in High Definition versions for the new HP TouchPad at launch tomorrow July 1st.

Both apps make great use of the additional screen estate available on the TouchPad in comparison to their phone counterparts. For example Translator HD contains a history of all your recently translated phrases, and Comics HD makes for a great and fun reading experience for your favorite webcomics in full size. See below for a couple of screenshots of the new app.

Both apps are available for free at launch in the HP App Catalog.

We’ve just updated our popular Translator app to leverage the webOS 2.0 Just Type feature. Palm Pre 2 users with HP webOS 2.0 installed can now Just Type any phrase and automatically translate it in one of the over 45 available languages. The language of the entered text will be automatically detected.

Translator 0.9.8 is now available in the App Catalog. Note that Just Type only works with webOS 2.0 or newer.

Users of either one of JetBrains‘ fanstastic IDE products can now use our webOS-Storm Plugin to develop webOS apps with WebStorn, PhpStorm or IntelliJ IDEA.

The webOS-Storm Plugin is a replacement for the official webOS Eclipse Plugin for developers who want to use the JetBrains IDEs.

If you don’t know about WebStorm yet, why don’t you try it now. It’s got a 45-day evaluation period, and is 50% off until December 30th.

The software is open source (on GitHub) and available now for download via the integrated Plugin Manager in your IDE.

More information is available on the webOS-Storm page.

The first TED app for Palm webOS, which was developed by us for ToonDoctor.com, is now available in the Palm App Catalog.

It lets you watch TED talks, listen to TED podcasts and also lets you check out upcoming TED conferences and speaker profiles.

ComicBookBin 1.5 is now available in the App Catalog for free. ComicBookBin lets you read recent comic book news, browse upcoming comic conventions and search for nearby comic book stores.

The app has been developed by us for the Comic Book Bin as a webOS counterpart to their iPhone and Android apps.

This version adds native webOS background notifications for new news articles as well as a Cover Flow view of recent articles.

Our free Comics app has just been updated to version 0.9.3. Changes include an improved UI (switch between different comic strips with one tap, faster configuration screen) and support for even more comics.

Along with the app updated we have added 18 more comics, including Bizarro, Beetle Bailey, Ziggy, Mutts and many more. You can find the complete list of available comics here. The total number of available comics is now up to 101 from the humble 35 we started with.

The app is free, so be sure to check it out.

Comics has been published in the App Catalog just today. It is an RSS Reader for your favorite comic strips and humor websites. More than 35 comics are available at the moment, with more to come.

Comics has been available as a Homebrew App for quite some time but with the most recent update it is now available for free via the official App Catalog.

The Helicopter Game has just been published in the App Catalog.

All of our apps currently available in the App Catalog are now localized in Spanish, for all Spanish, Mexican and other Spanish speaking Palm Pre users to enjoy our apps in their mother tongues, thanks to helpful homebrew enthusiast Manuel Rodriguez. So if you prefer your apps in Spanish over English, update the apps via App Catalog now. Have fun!
