Comments on: Mojo SDK Early Access Program Announced
Palm says they will initially admit a small group of developers they choose to start and plan to gradually increase the size of the program as the tools mature. The program will continue until the SDK is officially released to the public, at which point any developer will be free to download the SDK. Just like the Pre's release date, Palm has not yet stated when they expect this to be available.

RE: You have swallowed the koolaid
Yet apparently it's ready enough that not only can highly impressive-looking third party apps be publicly demoed, but more developers are being invited to join the party too.
Koolaid? Enough with the cliches already. You're the one determined to put a spin on everything. You're on a friggin' Koolaid IV-drip, Seldom, except it's full of negativity and dismissive poo-pooing.

Hope the koolaid tastes great freak!
At this late date, a limited release of the SDK to cherry picked developers indicates that the "SDK" and associated tools are a bit flaky and subject to change, so they don't want it widely available (yet).
I thought the Pre was supposed to be a break with the past?
Now we hear about this POS emulator intended to assure users who won't see native apps for quite a while that their investment in POS apps. won't be lost.
A good idea to be sure, but somewhat hypocritical. Pre - the phone of the future - it has no native apps. yet, but watch how quickly it runs bejeweled from 2003!
LOL!!!
I guess with the economy crapping out they needed something more to make the device compelling to users.

guaranteed.
enjoy running that pos emulator while waiting for native - oops, i mean web apps!

Change of heart?

If they have, then they would have no recourse but to sue.

We can't all be like you (thank God) - stubborn and consistent to the end.
Remember all of your inane iphone bashing? I recall your thoughts that html and javascript weren't an SDK. I guess they aren't until Palm adopts that model! Sure sounds like a change of heart on your part...
RE: You have swallowed the koolaid
In that first post I may have made a fairly significant mistake, however; what Palm has said amounts to saying "The SDK/Mojo framework is still in alpha so we need a few more testers to bring it to beta level".
The "developers" being exposed to this, of course, are "testers".
Is this significant?
No.
In fact, it is as Colligan said it would be:
== "...we will do kind of a private release of the SDK, maybe an
== open beta release at some point, and then really have a full
== release of the SDK at some point for all developers to take
== advantage of it..."
So all YOU guys went ga-ga over a "private, pre-beta, release of the SDK".
Gosh.
============================
How about that PalmOS emulator?
WAITAMINUTE!
That's not =Palm=!!
That's a third-party extra-cost emulator that Colligan said would be coming since January 9th.
Gosh. THAT'S worth at least a whole bunch of "Kowabungas!!!"...not.
============================
What esle WAS there?
Oh - this - a demonstration of the lack of recognition of standard finger gestures...a-GAIN:

That lack of recognition of standard finger gestures WILL come back and haunt Palm, BTW.
Gosh.

Relax. It really is going to be ok.

Here's an idea: don't get a Pre and do get a life.

You have swallowed the koolaid
Enough with spouting the Party Line.
Palm said they were going to "early release" to a "limited" set of "developers" the SDK/Mojo framework until "the tools mature."
Duh.
Now let's say it again, throwing out the Marketspeak which you have swallowed AND echoed Me-Too Media-like just as Palm wanted:
== "We need some more betatesters for
== the SDK/MOJO framework so are opening
== up the betatest program to a few more testers. The SDK
== won't be more widely available until
== it becomes more usable."
Sheesh.
