HP/Palm Promo Codes - now available :)

[Millerszone]

I'll will be giving out promo codes for Hit the Deck Baseball when HP releases the new version. Should be any day now.

I was surprised to see that HTD Baseball sold 69 apps and got a 4 star rating after all the problems. Should do very good once the new version
comes out and I start promoting.

By the way, the GLBasic transparency collision problem is still not fixed, so you will have to work around that problem.

No, mine isn't there yet (although its in the beta area).  I'm waiting until the new version of GLBasic is out (and hoping the IRS will send me my tax code).

I've had 5 downloads so far, and (when the rating system was working), it average 4.5 starts

I'll probably release my Vector Editor first, then I can do Android & Palm at the same time

Don't forget to use the Promo Code if you want the full version

Will do!

Might be best to remind Gernot

My app free codes will be online April 30th, I set this starting date by error.

[Millerszone]

Wow, that was quick. Updated Hit the Deck Baseball already released for all Palm Pre's WebOS 1.4.5 and newer.

Nice rattings and positive coments are wellcomed

Has anyone got the "To view this app on your phone, enter your Palm phone number below." bit working ?  I've entered my phone number, but haven't received any SMS messages...

[Ian Price]

Not tried tbh.

I've only used the App Catalog and downloaded from there straight to the phone. Are you sure you've created an account with Palm for the apps (via your phone)?

[MrTAToad]

Oh yes - I can download free ones.  Cant pay for any as a credit card is required though...

[Ian Price]

Can't you enter your CC number or you don't have one? My VISA card was accepted without problem (I know that some users on the official Dev forum can't enter Euro CCs as their phones only allow Canadian, US and Mexican CC numbers).

You need to use the App Catalog tab at the top of the screen and Add Account (IIRC), then it asks for password and brings up your details and you then enter CC data, which is logged onto the Palm site, not the phone.

[MrTAToad]

I entered all the details, but unfortunately I have a debit card and thus it gets rejected - it does state that a credit card must be used before the Palm profile is entered.

I believe someone on the Palm Forums has mentioned that it's a bit of a problem...

[Ian Price]

I use a VISA debit card. It worked.

It asked for CC or VISA.

Dunno.

[MrTAToad]

I presume you mean MasterCard

Didn't get a chance to enter a promo code unfortunately during the buying process...  Managed to get it working - I suspect it was the name entry causing problems...

The first purchase attempt failed, but the second time was okay

[Ian Price]

Nope, VISA debit. I've used a VISA debit card for the last 20 years. When i entered my data it clearly stated CC or VISA.

Glad you got it working in the end though

[MrTAToad]

Are you going to be doing an enhanced version when the tablet comes out ?

[Ian Price]

I vowed long ago never to dev for a machine I don't actually own. I did it once and had 17 forum pages of bug reports and such (actually due to a bug in GLB), that I couldn't see or have foreseen. While I do trust others to big report, I'd much rather do it myself - much quicker when you can see the problems first hand.

On the other hand, if devving for Palm becomes profitable I might invest in a tablet. But there's sooo many other devices that are eying up my limited cash.
