The Palm Pre app store, the App Catalog, is still in its infancy and is certainly nowhere near the size of the Apple App Store, but apparently, they’re doing quite well on their own. In fact, despite the obvious lack of mobile apps to offer, they’ve already managed to amass 666,511 downloads as of June 17th. Given the steady rise of downloads everyday, that should make it around 700,000 today. That’s really quite impressive, but I honestly don’t know if they can keep this trend up especially if they don’t improve on their app collection. Nonetheless, these figures are quite encouraging. The Palm Pre is already considered a real thorn to the backside of the iPhone, and it looks like their App Catalog is also shaping up to be a serious threat to the dominance of the App Store.
