webos-app-catalog-new-01The “mid-autumn launch” of Palm’s App Catalog e-commerce beta program now has a firm “Go Live” date: Sept. 24.

According to a new company timeline (see image below; click to enlarge), webOS developers who’ve had their applications accepted for the App Catalog will see them featured there on that day. Apps can be purchased via credit card. App sales will be split 70/30, with 70 percent going to developers and 30 percent going to Palm (PALM).
