Webos App Museum

What it is not
The webOS App Museum is NOT a store. Please let that sink in: NOT a store. It's also not an archive of apps. The webOS App Museum doesn't store any apps.
So what is it?
It's a museum. It shows which apps we used to have. As said, we do not provide apps ourselves. But if you have archived them, you can link using FTP. If you want to do this you will need to have Preware installed as this is used to download and install the IPK files.

Download location
http://www.banneret.nl/webos/apps/co..._0.6.4_all.ipk
Compatibility
The current App is optimized for the Touchpad but has also been tested to work with Pre3 but with limited performance.
Additional settings
Images are hosted on Palm's CDN as it is still working. This does, however, mean that you will have to edit your hosts file to access the images. You will need to add the following to your hosts file (and chances are, you already have):
23.4.17.24 cdn.downloads.palm.com

User Interface
The user interface of the App Museum is derived from the old Palm App Catalog with some changes and additions. With categories on the left side, the applications in the middle and a description of the selected application on the right.
Apps we know are archived, are marked with an orange card.
You can bookmark apps for a later time.
The search-bar does not, at this time, support live-search. So you will need to hit Enter before a call is made to the backend. On the Pre(3), the search-bar is hidden until you use the keyboard while the second view is active.
The 'more apps' button will show you all other apps by the currently selected vendor.

Settings
In the settings you can change some general settings, making the icons big and small and resetting to default values. Configure the archive location connecting to your personal FTP and advanced features that help with performance (especially in the Pre3).
