I am a new Palm developer, my first app will be done in about a month or so.  I am 
really disappointed by the PalmGear and Handango saga.

First off, I am happy that this topic can be discussed on Palm Dev.

I think it would be in Palm's own interest to intervene and do something for us 
developers.  Having the most developers is very important for Palm and in order to 
keep us developing for their platform they should make sure we have an honest outlet 
to sell our products and have a chance to make some money without being ripped off by 
PG or Handango.

What I am thinking of doing right now is to post my app on all the Palm shareware 
sites but have my sales being handled by a third-party (if that is possible) like 
esellerate (when their site is going to be up) as someone suggested here not too long 
ago.  That way, my app will be listed but I won't have to pay 30% to Handango or wait 
forever for my money with PG.  I  may have to let go of the real-time fulfillement 
though, that is the bad part.  Anyway, I am still thinking about this.

Does anyone has other ideas?
