Palm webOS SDK has arrived!

We get emails every week asking us when ShopSavvy is coming to the Palm Pre.  The Pre was released last month but all 3rd party application development has been on-hold because developers have not had the access to the SDK required to build apps.  We finally got the word this week that the SDK was ready for prime time.

From the email we received it sounded like they were making sure that everything was going to be rock solid for the developers.  Here’s part of the email we received from Palm:

I want to thank you for your patience while we allowed a few developers to kick the tires on our APIs, tools and docs before we released them to the rest of the world. We’re working hard to ensure that Palm webOS becomes a world-class platform for application development, but we need to do so in a measured and focused way so we can be sure we’re providing a great development experience and attentive developer support.

Palm may be playing catch-up but making it easy for developers to create is always a good thing.  I know that our team is ready to get their hands on this.

The Palm Pre is DOA?

This shocking news is delivered by John Paczkowski in a post titled, “The Pre is DOA.”  Could it be true or is John simply trying to get links?  Read it for yourself and let me know.
