Is now available https://developer.palm.com/content/resources/develop/developer_device_program.html for American users - I've enquired to see if there is a European equivalent.
And don't forget the Veer is also compatible with Pixi software and there's a substantial, untapped market for apps for both machines. If only GLB supported the Veer/Pixi...
Well, if we can get our sticky hands on one, there could be an incentive to support it...
Club together and get one for Gernot...
Would be a good idea!
I applied now.
But they will be sent for free as Pre2, or just a discount?
No idea. We'll see.
Apparently, we only get Pre 2 devices :(
But they have put me forward to (possibly) get one though =D
The Veer looks very cool though.
It seems like the "whole smartphone experience" in half the space of an iPhone.
I'm hoping I can try one out some day.
At 320x400.
Dont forget this too : https://developer.palm.com/content/community/show_us_your_app.html?sssdmh=dm13.276453
I've put my request in!
Did you notice this bit -
Quote2. Must be registered for and present at the event to be eligible.
?
:(
Are you planning on visiting California any time soon?
HP – Palm campus, Sunnyvale, CA
June 9
June 16
This really sucks :(
There's also this -
Quote4. Must be able to show your app in progress to a designated HP webOS representative, in the form of an .ipk file we can load onto and test with an HP TouchPad.
GLB doesn't currently offer the resolution of the TouchPad (1024x768 IIRC) - I'm sure Gernot can add that pretty easily, but that'll depend on his time.
Otherwise, yep, I'd apply too :)
I took it as you could either register at the campus or send them an email...
It's definitely worth a try :)
Some programming details about the Pad :
https://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=14373
I just posted a new thread in Off Topic re: changes for Palm devs :)
and you can type that resolution into the box.
So you can. I never even thought to try. D'oh!
Might be worth playing with doing something for the TouchPad. It'd be daft not to, after all...
In kind of unrelated news, I now have a 1.4.5 Pre Plus if anyone needs something tested. Just link me to the .IPK and I'll have a looksee for you :)
In some HP document about SDK 3.0 and/or HP's Pads it says
"open your screen with resolution 0,0 to get max device resolution"
Does this applies too to GLB's WebOS thing?
I mean, if I set the setting in project to size 0x0, will GLB open the max screen resolution of the device? Or should we set the project at max desireed resolution (768x1024) for this, as currently we are doing in iOS?
I tried it in the Project Resolution settings, but I get : *** ERROR - Please set project settings for this platform
glbasic uses 0,0 internally. You can use getscreensize to see what it got.
Apparently the Tablet will be out in July! $499.99 (£305) for 16GB or $599.99 (£365) for 32GB
