Re: It will happen Okay, gotchya!
"According to Palm, the Mojo SDK has only been available to a select group of partners. Now, the handset maker said, it will be pushed out to a broader set of developers that apply for access to the program via the Palm Developer Network Web site. Palm said access into the program will be limited at the offset, as the tools and systems are retooled. General availability is expected later this year."
Many have had their SDKs out there, just as Palm themselves have had before. Microsoft's window's mobile has one as well. BUT, still, iPhone's has been successful because of the app store and how the revenue works on that. Also, include the fact that there are a ton of apple freaks out there in the apple community which makes their program strong.
Take Windows Mobile. There are "partners" and other developers out there that make certain apps. I have a facebook app, google maps app, both free. Hell, to buy a game of solitaire for WM is $19.99.
It's all going to boil down to how creative Palm gets with their SDK and how many units of the Pre they can push out to see if there will be people out there wiling to take the plunge and make apps for the Pre like they did the iPhone.
The community, behind iPhone, is what makes the apps strong. |
