Allegedly, a number of developers accepted to the Early Access program have reported that Palm has given them the green light to submit their apps for consideration for the Beta App Catalog.

More apps in the App Catalog is not only good news, but in our opinion, it is vital to Palm’s success. With competition like the iPhone and an iTunes App Store bursting at the seams with thousands of apps, something better happen quick to keep the Pre relevant and interesting, and like it or not, even if the native apps on the Pre are fantastic and whiz-bang, it’s not enough in today’s app-hungry world to remain competitive. If you see some apps starting to appear, let us know what pops up!

This won’t last forever, though, especially if you want to see the App Catalog swell to thousands of apps like Apple’s App Store. Developers will only develop if they can make a few bucks for their time and effort.

Taking a peek in the “About” section of the Spaz app, we learn that version 1.0 will be available for $3.00. We took the screenshot on the left on our very own Pre. Is this pricing a good indicator of how apps will be priced in the App Catalog? It seems like it would be a good idea for Palm to be competitive by keeping pricing comparable to Apple’s App Store. What are you willing to pay for apps for your Pre?
