Hi Dudes, I did not yet fully get the idea that PalmGear now charges 40% of all of us. Actually, their email was very unclear and I didn't understand it at first! Some of you may know me for my popular blog TamsPalm-if not, you can find it at tamspalm.blogspot.com. Although I never made big money with LedManager(cracked like 2 days after release or so), I can understand how you all are annoyed and pissed off-and I am too! Or you may know me from Nexave or 1src... Actually, I liked AzRuls idea. And we need a popular person that everyone knows and who is known for some big programs and hacks(Netfornt on TT3 for example). A person only known to developers is useless, I feel that we need the USERS WO BUY PROGRAMS to understand how things are running. Since I have good relations to both developers and some users, I feel as if I the person to "control" this. I have a forum available on Tamoggemon.com that can be used as a meeting place, and I have my blog... What do you think? Am I suitable? I am waiting for your answers and ideas and please tell me how I can support you. Best regards Tam Hanna P.s. We are the developers. PalmGear lives by selling OUR creations! Alone, they would be dead! If we unite, we are strong. Alone, we are weak! Lets understand this and act in this sense!

Newsbies normally simply search tersm such as "palm software" at google and plamgear will come up first. We try to get to no 1 spot at google and educate potential customer before they click to palmgear and handango. I can set up a page in mobile-coder (www.mobile-coder.com) explaining esd practises. Then, all of us can link back to that page. I know seo stuff are tricky, but in general, we need to reach out to customers and they are the one who can change all this. Disable major 10% apps? Unlikely! those 10% apps enjoy good relationship with palmgear, you think they are going to risk it? It you are on the number 1 spot and enjoy very good exposure at palm gear, would you want to join the strike? Not likely! ps:// I started mobile-coder to unite palm/mobile developer, but i haven't got much time to maintain it. It is a purely non-profit website and i am actually pouring my own money into it.
