GLBasic and HP Touchpad, compatible?

[Millerszone]

I received and email from HP today:
Hey Mike-
I just wanted to check in to see if you had any plans to port HTD Baseball to the upcoming HP TouchPad. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Cheers,
Worldwide Developer Relations, HP webOS

So my question is will GLBasic work with the HP Touchpad with screen resolution 768x1024?

Type that into the resolutions box and "try" it. I'm sure it works. The problem is - I have no device

[ampos]

Just email them with "I will port it if you sent me a free device".

Worth a try...

Indeed! Looks like they're starting a new promotion soon! Got this from palm yesterday:

...We are now getting ready to focus on our next promotion which should be announced shortly. Once I get you qualified I can get you on the list for this promotion. Please send me an email and let me know if you would like to be included for our next promotion.

I replied to the email. Asked if they were going to have a developer device program
like the Palm Pre 2.

[backslider]

Palm told me, that they will not have a developer device program for the touchpad.

Shame...

If they have a working Emulator, I'm fine, too.

I am really interested in this too. HP got in contact with me upon my Poker release.

I can understand why a manufacturer wont offer free devices to developers, as its hard to determine who won't abuse this.
But, they should definitely give them free to companies developing programming languages / tools for use by other developers!
So, of everybody here, Gernot should qualify for one, as he can make GLBasic compatible for it, for the rest of us to benefit, including the manufacturer.

[MrTAToad]

Indeed!

Standard Pre programs should work on the Tablet with no changes...

[Sokurah]

The reply I got from them when I wrote was;

Would you be able to port any of these games to one of our future devices like the Veer, Pre 3 or the TouchPad?

...I never heard a peep after replying, but perhaps something is happening soon anyway?

I gotta say, though, that with the problems other GLB users has had with WebOS so far, I'm happy I haven't been in a position where I'd comitted to deliver something.

[MrTAToad]

It was only one thing - but rather important

[Ian Price]

The only problem I had with WebOS was from Palm Pixi owners - no problems with Palm Pre at all. Just ignore them and everything's fine

[MrTAToad]

I just set mine to Palm Pre, so that Pixi users know not to try it
