Somewhat understandably, there is no paid apps available outside of the US of A. Mostly because of licensing agreements and the basic business fact of not expanding your service until it's strong and profitable in the original market. That means there is no 3D games in Europe, Canada or Mexico. Although, we now know that paid apps will be arriving in Europe sometime in March. However, just the other day, a free version of Asphalt 5 hit the catalog. Following the logic Palm has previously displayed, one would think that it, (being free) would be available everywhere the App Catalog is. Well, unfortunately, that is not the case, it is only available to US webOS users. It may very well be the developers decision to make it available only in the US but, either way, it still leaves many Pre/Pixi(plus) out of the 3D fun. Which keeps the grand total of PDK apps in the international catalog at zero. But, hey at least there's Quake.

I feel for the foreigners who dont have access to the paid catalog. I bet that palm not offering the demo in the catalog has to do with the fact that the paid version isnt available so it would just lead to unhappy customers.
