What Apps are coming on July 1st?

It's hard to be sure what Apps will be available on the Touchpad's final release and which ones will also be available in the App Catalog for download, either free or for purchase.

Richard Kerris, VP of worldwide developer relations for webOS stated "Let me be clear: For TouchPad apps, we'll have a little more than 300 at launch that are written just for the TouchPad"

On some screenshots, from the initial introduction back in February, from videos and pictures taken since on pre-release and demo models, and Google searches, we begin to get a picture of what might be available.

Of course their will be the common ones already included in webOS devices, such as...
  • Calendar
  • Clock
  • Phone (think Touch to Share)
  • Memos
  • Browser
  • Email
  • Messaging
  • Photos & Video
  • Music
  • Tasks
  • Software Manager
  • App Catalog
  • Contacts
  • Device Info
  • Regional Settings
  • Help
  • WiFi
  • Bluetooth
But we can also assume other familiar and not so familiar ones will be seen. More after the jump...

Ones I believe we can say with some certainty include...
  • Amazon Kindle
  • Pandora
  • Tweed
  • Feeds (RSS)
  • QuickOffice
  • Evernote
  • Fandango
  • AccuWeather
  • Yelp
  • OpenTable
  • Armageddon Squadron II
  • Jira Jr
  • Exhibition (Touchstone display)
  • Adobe Reader
  • Sports Illustrated (Magazine)
  • Time (Magazine)
  • Ebony (Magazine)
  • HP Pivot (monthly App Magazine)
  • Facebook
  • Citrix
  • SAP Business Objects
  • SAP Hana
  • Sooloos (Music)
  • Glyder HD
  • Sparkle
  • Angry Birds (HD?)
  • Memorize
  • Box.net (50GB Cloud based storage, trial?)
  • Paratroopers
  • Precentral HD
  • Paperboy (Game)
  • InterfaceLIFT
  • WoW TCG Hero Free
  • Pix
  • WebMyth2
  • Spaz HD
  • Gemini File Manager
  • Solitaire Universe (Game)
  • Postie
  • Halo Stats
  • Screamager HD
  • Scientific RPN Calculator HD
  • WebOS World
  • Quell (Game) 
  • Mighty Meeting
  • HP BookPrep
  • Worldfactbook
  • Whitepages 
  • Mosaic
  • Communities
  • Executive Scorecard
This list is obviously only about 20 percent of what Richard Kerris quoted as being available.  Many if not all developers are under NDA's (Non-disclosure Agreements), so we may not know much more until later this week, but this is a pretty impressive list, and lets not forget that the 7,000 or so Apps that will run in an emulator.

Please feel free to comment, and add to the list (with links of you can verify them somehow).
