After a successful early access program, Palm’s Mojo Software Development Kit is available to all interested app developers. The SDK can be downloaded from a new developer portal -- Palm webOSdev -- at developer.palm.com. Any interested developer with a valid email address can access the SDK, its associated documentation, and new Mojo developer forums.
The initial response to Palm webOS apps -- from both developers and customers -- has been enthusiastic. Even in its initial beta stage, over 1.8 million apps have been downloaded from the beta App Catalog since Palm Pre was released less than six weeks ago. Thousands of developers have participated in the Mojo SDK early access program since it began in early April. New applications are in the pipeline for the Palm App Catalog, and the App Catalog submission process will be opened to all developers beginning this fall.
Developers interested in exploring Palm webOS and the Mojo SDK further may be interested in these upcoming events:
- Michael Abbott, Palm’s Senior Vice President for Application Software & Services, is speaking today on the emerging opportunities for mobile applications at the MobileBeat 2009 conference in San Francisco.
- webOShelp is organizing a developer meetup (at Palm’s Sunnyvale headquarters) on July 28.
- preDevCamp an informal network of Mojo developers, will host events in 73 cities around the world on August 8.
Additional opportunities to find out more about developing for Palm webOS can be found on the webOSdev portal.

It is the part-time developers who give of their time and talents who really make the app world special. It's great that Palm is encouraging these projects.

The palm pre is a great phone however as advance as it is you would think that you could forward text but you can't and for a lot of people that is a huge problem. Also it would be great to have a touch screen keyboard..

I have heard the Palm Pre is just as fast as the iphone and as stable as the blackberry. For the price of the phone and the packaged fee for data, phone and text for about 70 bucks with sprint versus att & verizon, you can't beat it!
I have a few friends that love the phone!

I love Palm and the Pre. I wish more app developers would get on board and create some robust education apps like vocab apps or speed-reading type apps.

My palm just says updating when booting up...

had the hardest time trying to get the Palm Emulator to run. It would just die within a few seconds of starting it, without showing any UI window. The problem: I needed to install Java. I hope this helps anybody else who gets the same problem.
