It’s been a little while since we reported on the happenings in the App Catalog. Recently, Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein said that “several thousand” new webOS apps would be coming with the release of the Ares development platform. As of Friday, the App Catalog stands at 843 apps — dwarfed by the iPhone and even the Android app stores, but steadily moving forward with more apps for Pre and Pixi owners.

Although there are no new apps as of December 21, there are several app updates. The updated apps are: Air Hockey ($0.99), Bible Reader ASV ($2.99), Classifieds2Go (Free), Color Puzzle ($0.99), Crosswords ($9.99), EZ Sketch ($0.99), Mine Search ($0.99), MoreStocks ($2.99), Send My Location for webOS (Free), Soccer Shots ($1.99), Space Alarm (Free), Speed ($0.99), Swap & Drop ($1.99), The Surprise ($0.99), Tic Tac Toe ($0.99), Top Stocks ($4.99), WallRevolve ($1.49), WingedCurator (Free), and Yule Log ($1.43).
