Palm Pre Veer Developer Progran

[MrTAToad]

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.

[Ian Price]

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...

[MrTAToad]

Well, if we can get our sticky hands on one, there could be an incentive to support it...

[Ian Price]

Club together and get one for Gernot...

[MrTAToad]

Would be a good idea!

[Kitty Hello]

I applied now.

[ampos]

But they will be sent for free as Pre2, or just a discount?

[Kitty Hello]

No idea. We'll see.

[MrTAToad]

Apparently, we only get Pre 2 devices

But they have put me forward to (possibly) get one though 

[Sokurah]

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.

[ampos]

At 320x400.

[MrTAToad]

Dont forget this too : https://developer.palm.com/content/community/show_us_your_app.html?sssdmh=dm13.276453

I've put my request in!

[Ian Price]

Did you notice this bit -

2. 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 -

4. 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

[MrTAToad]

I took it as you could either register at the campus or send them an email...

[Ian Price]

It's definitely worth a try
