Palm Offers New Developer Network
"Reaffirming its commitment and ongoing support to the developer community worldwide, Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq:PALM) today unveiled the Palm Developer Network (PDN). PDN is designed for mobile hardware and software developers targeting Palm(R) products and is the first formal developer program to include both Palm OS(R) and Microsoft Windows Mobile Pocket PC developers. The new program provides focused technical, business and marketing support, and replaces Palm's prior, successful developer program, PluggedIn. New services include a support library to answer developer questions, and a "Designed For Palm Products" compatibility test and logo program to help validate that the mobile solutions are compatible with Palm devices. Additional developer services are available for members of Palm's Select Developer Program -- an invite-only group of top developers who consistently deliver highly valued consumer or business applications to customers worldwide."
For those of you out there that produce both a Pocket PC and Palm version of your software, this may be helpful as you wait out Palm OS's slow yet inevitable death :devilboy: Seriously, it does look like it can help Palm developers get their ideas from "concept to market" quicker, and I guess that's good for mobile devices as a whole.
