Browse applications in HP webOS App Catalog

Use HP webOS App Catalog to browse and download any of the many applications available for your device. App Catalog contains both free apps and apps you can buy.

NOTE HP webOS App Catalog is periodically updated. Because of this, the app may offer more functionality and features than those described in this chapter. For the most up-to-date information on App Catalog, see the on-device Help.

NOTE Applications you installed on your old Palm OS by ACCESS or Windows Mobile smartphone do not work on your HP TouchPad because your HP TouchPad uses the new HP webOS. In addition, some apps developed for HP webOS smartphones may not work on your HP TouchPad. Check App Catalog for a new version of your old favorites.
