Carbon for webOS Twitter App Going to the App Catalog

By: Arthur Thornton, 4/5/2011 6:59 pm | 21 comments

The folks behind the very popular and much-loved beta-version of the Carbon for webOS Twitter app let everyone know via Twitter that they will be submitting Carbon for webOS to the HP App Catalog today. We look forward to its release and we will bring you a full app review as soon as humanly possible.

So will you buy it when it hits the App Catalog? If so, what is it that makes you choose Carbon over the many other Twitter apps out there?

Since then he's owned many of the webOS phones produced, released several loved apps into the App Catalog, and even held an internship with HP's webOS GBU. Fresh off of that internship, Arthur is back at webOSroundup as a contributor.

If ts not also free in the app catalog I’ll simply return to Bad Kitty which I’ve already bought and paid for. Until I see new Sprint hardware I will not invest more $ in webOS. I feel for devs because I know I’m not alone and they’re struggling to make a go of it and support the community. However if there’s no Sprint device by the time the Evo 3D ships I may make the leap as I need better hardware.

Yeah, cuz an app less than $5 is an investment. Puhhhlease! a gallon of gas is going for over $4. Support the app.

HP and Palm have no way to force a carrier to carry a specific phone. If you are mad that Sprint doesn’t have new hardware, you need to complain to Sprint.

Trust me Arthur, Sprint is tired of hearing from me, even the [email protected] folks. But HP & Palm have not announced any phones for any carriers. The only way I can show my disapproval, short of switching devices is to not supply them w/residuals from app catalo purchases. On the contrary I do donate to webOS internals as they have supported the platform, in some ways, better than the actual manufacturer.

You aren’t hurting Palm/HP by not purchasing apps, you’re hurting developers. The developers make 70% of the money from app sales. The revenue HP brings in from the other 30% is less than what Palm would have considered pocket change before they were bought by HP (read: so little, it doesn’t make any difference to them).

Agreed! I’ve said it before, that perhaps user voices would be more powerful telling sprint they’ll switch providers if they don’t have a webOS device then telling HP they will switch hardware. Good useful apps should be supported, it helps developers which helps us have more and better apps. Just my opinion of course. And no nothing wrong with being loyal to a company just feel a lot of people need to get off HP’s back right now.

Carbon rocks. I just didged my iPhone (literally, broken glass) en bought a second hand Pre (in the Netherlands the Pre isn’t officially sold). Looking for a good Twitter client I stumbled upon Carbon beta. I love the conversation view, it is quick and has great navigation. It is better than all the twitter clients I had for the iPhone. Carbon could be one of the reason’s to stick with the Palm. What Gravity is to the Nokia smartphones, Carbon is for Palm/HP. So, would I pay for it? Definitely.

It’s a real bummer that these Carbon devs can’t hit a deadline to save their life.. Ever since first announced, they’ve blown every release date they’ve announced and badly! They have played the wolf wolf game over and over with us. So many weeks have gone by that he’s said every week a release was coming that I’ve all but decided the Pre3 will hit shelves before Carbon does.. wish he’d stop falsely giving release dates and just shock the socks off everyone when it finally ever shows up!

I retract what I said.. poor guys ran into major issues with how they could get paid through paypal in their country with bank requirements, etc. but said its a bump in the road and they’ll find a way around it..
