Get a Palm Pre 2 for free - RUN!

[okee]

Guys in the questionnaire what programming language did you say you were using ?
Anyone know how long this offer is running for ?

[MrTAToad]

No idea unfortunately.

[Ian Price]

It was just an XL spreadsheet (which asked a few standard questions) but it never mentioned a programming language IIRC. I'm at work now, so I can't check.

It was basically - name, address, number of games you wish to release in the next year, titles and genre. I just chose 4 from my recent back-catalogue, which I can port/update quickly and easily.

I don't know how long the offer was for, but the site stated 100 free dev units (which are totally unlocked to any network).

[MrTAToad]

Just been notified that it'll be sent out shortly

How long did yours take to arrive Ian ?

[Ian Price]

I never knew they were sending it tbh. I still haven't had any mail to say that they were sending one - it was a complete surprise.

And B'lox! is up and running nicely on it already 

[erico]

B'lox outstandingly rocks!

...that must be the reason they send you the package right away!

[MrTAToad]

Going to stick the game on the Palm store ?  Will be interesting to see how well it sells...

[Ian Price]

I do intend to put B'lox! on the Palm Store, but first Gernot needs to fix the sound delay problem. Hopefully it'll be a quick and easy fix for him.

I'm finally getting a Palm Pre 2. I received another email today:

Hey Mike-
I can actually hook you up with a free Pre 2, if you're committed to porting Hit the Deck over.

Let me know your address and phone number, and I'll have one sent out.

Cheers,

[Ian Price]

Excellent news

just need Gernot to sort out the sound problem and we're all good to go!

[MrTAToad]

Wonder how long it'll take to arrive   I'll contact Palm if it hasn't by the end of next month.

[Ian Price]

Mine was shipped by Express delivery on 17.02.11 and arrived ont the 21.02.11.

[Kitty Hello]

Get the latest update. The sound problem is fixes as good as I can. I hope it's not stuttering now.

[MrTAToad]

I'm sure Ian will tell you if its not

There might be a chance it could arrive within the week then !

[Ian Price]

Get the latest update. The sound problem is fixes as good as I can. I hope it's not stuttering now.

I haven't tried tbh - the Logfile never mentioned a sound fix for WebOS.

"To the Palm Pre, Robin!"


[EDIT] It works! Yay. Now to get B'lox! up on the HP/Palm Store

Cheers Gernot!

Oh great - MORE form filling.

Gernot, did you have to complete Forms W-8BEN and W-7?
