UK : TubeApp ??

Very odd - electricpig, in their post: Top 10 apps for the Pre [can't give you the link since I'm a newbie here - frustrating - but go look at the electricpig.co.uk website and head for October 16th] just a few days ago reported on (and had a screenshot) of a London Underground App ("TubeApp" apparently), but there's no sign of it in my app catalogue...

Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else, but I'd love to get hold of it - anyone else heard anything?

Ive seen it mentioned online as well, i think the reason its not in the catalogue is because it is [or will be] a paid app, so can't be accessed in the UK.

This might be utter cods as i can't update from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 as i don't have a strong enough signal. But then i also thought paid apps in the UK wouldn't come until 1.3?

Sadly I can tell you that 1.1.3 doesn't bring paid apps... shame... but your explanation about the app would make sense. I wonder how long we have to wait for the paid stuff?

I would hope some time in November, i think any longer and Palm are having a laugh.

Couldn't agree more with the November urgency - I've heard talk that that's when Europe and American Os versions will "sync" - i.e. that we'll skip the intervening ones... we can but live in hope!!

This sums up why I haven't bothered buying a Pre yet here in the Uk.

Will stick with the Treo until Apps like these get themselves sorted. Also includes e reader and Splash ID.

Once the tube and others come online, then I will buy the Pre.
