Palm will begin offering paid apps to the Palm App catalog according to a posting on the Palm Developer Network Blog. The Palm App Catalog e-commerce beta program will allow developers to sell their apps in the Palm App Catalog.

"Starting today, you can submit your apps via email for consideration in the Palm App Catalog e-commerce beta program.

We’re initiating the beta e-commerce program so we can test the experience for both webOS app developers and users. This is an opportunity for you to submit your app and to market it to the webOS user base before we open the program to all developers later in the year."

Palm expects to launch the full program this fall. See the link below for more details.
