Palm Pre - WebOS

[Kitty Hello]

You can program for the Palm Pre devices now!

What you need:

• Windows PC (XP, Vista, 7even)
• Palm Pre device (highly recommended, get on eBay)
• Palm Developer Account (currently free, might change)
• PayPal account
• GLBasic SDK premium

What you get:

• Your game on the Palm App Store!
• 70% per sale on that store

If you're trying to bet started with game developing and iPhone was too expensive for you, I want to encourage you to TRY THIS NOW. I have some feedback from other devs and they say they get about 50-70% of the income they do with the iOS App Store.

INSTRUCTIONS
Are in the official manual. See also here:

Another device running GLB apps?

[mentalthink]

Olé!!!

Just asking.

If I had a WebOS app... is there somekind of AppStore for such devices? Is it "free" to join? Do apps get someking of copy-protection/drm as apps on AppStore?

@Kitty: Congrats! Nice work!
@ampos: Yes there is the an appstore. It´s 99$ developer/year,50$ per software piece and 30% of your income. But you are free to distribute it from your website. The download is somehow still provided by the appstore then,but you´re title is not in the catalog and not proven. That´s what I read somewhere. I haven´t found it on the palm website, yet.

that is great! another mobile plataform!

I was thinking I should get a new mobile anytime this year and now I have another possible option!
great work!

[Ian Price]

Cool

And you can compile from Windows - Yay!!!!

[ampos]

Do we need to download the PalmPre SDK?

Does the PalmPre simulator run with GLB apps?

[Kitty Hello]

Simulator - NO.
The SDK, I "think" you don't need it. You might need it to get the device runniing. I'll have to see what to include and what not.

Hi, Gernoot, when whill be enable the update for Palm Web OS, I try today to download the update but say your Ide is updated. (How I look the video, saying, now you can Develop for Palm Pre), well perhaps is some trouble on Paralell Desktops?¿, or the Update don´t release yet.

Kind Regards,
Iván J.

PS:Well I donwloaded de SDk and the emulator, but now I look don´t works on Glbasic, well I think is a little problem, not big, but the phone devices, every time they are more, and more expensives.

[Kitty Hello]

Do you have such a device?

Uninstall the PDK/SDK/CodeSourcery. I will include all you need. It's not done, yet. I mean - it is done, but needs some minor refinements and then will go public. Read the forums to keep track.

[mentalthink]

Ok, Gernoot, when I read the post I turn very nervious, for try the new coompiled App.

Not, I don´t have the device, but looking the video, and not reading all the post, I thinked, well perhaps the application runs on emulator that comes in the SDK.

Well not problem, I wait for the new Update, and I try to buy a Device, but how I say, new mobile that become to the market, are vey expensive.

Kind Regards,
mentalthink.
