 oh and thanks for letting us walk all over you and marginalize you
 over the 2-3 year long EOL period of PalmOS, please allow us to
 continue this now by giving you a javascript-only SDKs that does not
 even allow you to distribute your apps outside of our 100%-controlled
 appstore
 

 BUT Apple is perfect in this respect and we should all spread love for them 
 and hate on Palm like we were three weeks ago, right? ...right?
 Times change. Were developers mad when DOS was killed off for Windows? It's 
 progress... If you don't want to do JS, then hack on the Pre from a rooted 
 device, and have some fun in good ole GNU/Linux. Or find a different mailing 
 list to go to and a new development system to develop on.
 If you don't like the 100% Palm controlled appstore, you could always 
 develop for iPhone, on the off chance that you own a Mac. Oh wait... hm... 
 You 
 NEED a Mac PC AND you can still only redistribute in the iPhone apps store. 
 Way to go for bashing Palm again, guys. 
 Or you could release your apps as obfuscated source, or powered mostly by a 
 backend, and let people compile things for their 'testing environment' and 
 legally sideload them.

 Just because webOS killed your market for hacks, Dmitry, doesn't mean that it 
 is a worthless platform, or anything like that. The guys at Palm did a heck 
 of 
 a job on mojo, and just because it's OMGNOWTF JAVASCRIPT SUX LOL doesn't make 
 it any less of a platform than the ObjC iCrap or Java Android application 
 suites.

Anyway, since this has become an OT thread (on a dead list), I might
as well hijack it. Anyone know any details on when/how devs like up
will be able to distribute apps? Will it be free, or will they be
stupid like apple and charge a $99 fee?

  
You can already submit free apps. I heard that paid submissions will be 
starting August.

The only public statement is in the fall.   But they will be 
putting free apps up now and haven't indicated a charge for that.


We don't know whether there'll be a charge in the future for free or 
chargeable apps.  Since they'll incur a resource cost on evaluating 
apps for inclusion in the App Catalog it'd make sense to make a small 
charge submissions, but that's just me extrapolating.
