For the past month, I had been getting a "Out Of Memory" message whenever I tried to download an app from the App Catalog. I just now tried again on the unlikely hope that I it had been fixed.

By Golly I believe they fixed it! I was able to download several new apps with no problem. I had been expecting this to be fixed with the mythical 1.2, but I guess it was an App Catalog problem.

Anyone else had the problem? Anyone else make it work now?

Whoops! I guess it was a 1.2 problem, because I just noticed that 1.2 is available. I ran my Update program and there it was. But for whatever reason, I am now able to download apps.

I posted this on another thread, but I will post it again here. There is a workaround for those of you with root access and a little knowledge:

It also explains why this happens, was kind of a good on PALM's part to use a partition such as /var .  Hopefully they will resolve it in an update for those not brave/experienced enough for this fix.

According to Palm the next update, which should be released soon, should fix the app limit problem...and Go Bears as well.(hopefully next year).
