The Pre app catalog is admittedly thin when compared to older offerings like the iTunes App store of the Android marketplace. However, the Pre app store is starting to pick up steam with several new applications for the Pre tipping up. Some important apps were already installed on the Pre, but may have gone unnoticed.

Among the apps on your Pre already is a native Pre application for uploading photos to Photobucket. The application is a native photo upload solution and requires no download to work. To send to Photobucket users take the picture using the Pre and then tap the send to Photobucket icon. Pretty easy right? The only catch is that the user has to set up a Photobucket account.

“Photobucket is thrilled to be a natively integrated photo upload solution on Palm Pre,” said Alex Welch, president of Photobucket. “The cameras built into mobile devices have become so sophisticated and Palm Pre is no exception. Photobucket has seen a tremendous rise in popularity of mobile photos that are uploaded and shared on the site and now, more than ever, we are committed to making photo sharing simple, no matter where our users are.”
