Palm is aiming to launch a UK version of its App Catalogue in March following the success of its US site, which went live in December.
According to Mobile News, the launch will be concurrent with the opening of online stores in Germany, Ireland and Spain.
Palm is hoping to build a developer community around the brand, with its web OS developer e-commerce programme, which sees interested parties able to pay an annual fee of $99 for support and promotion for their apps.
In the United States, the programme and its developer community have generated over 600 apps within two months.
“Our programme will be unlike anything currently available and has been established to promote a thriving community by giving developers direct involvement in their own success,” stated Palm’s senior vice president of product marketing Katie Mitic.
