"Our program will be unlike anything currently available," said Palm senior vice president Katie Mitic in the announcement. "Whether you're looking for immediate distribution or just feedback on early stages of development, this program is built to scale to your needs and finally put you in control of investing in and promoting your business." Applications, both free and paid, will be distributed through the Palm App Catalog, which can only be accessed via a webOS phone -- the Pre and, eventually, the Pixi. Self-certified developers will be able to distribute apps over the Web as well. Developers will be charged a US$99 program fee, which will be waived for open source app developers. In August, Palm invited developers of paid apps to submit them for consideration for inclusion in a beta version of the App Catalog. That catalog has now gone live, and selected developers may distribute both paid and free apps through it. |
