Crazy for the Palm Pre

With the Pre now in customers’ hands and reports of webOS hacks in the news, we know that you are more anxious than ever to get access to the SDK and start developing for webOS. We’ve been working very hard on the SDK and are eager to open access on a wider scale, but the software and the developer services to support it just aren’t ready yet. Our goal is to make the SDK available to everyone by the end of this summer, and to get there in stages: Beginning immediately, we’ll accelerate the growth of the early access program, expanding as quickly as resources allow

We are excited to announce the availability of Palm’s open source portal at http://opensource.palm.com . We’re using Linux and various other open source software in webOS to allow us to accelerate innovation through collaboration with the global community of open source developers. The benefits of teaming with the open source community come with the important responsibility of ensuring compliance with applicable open source license obligations.
