Palm recently released a video discussing webOS and the new Palm Developer Program, which gives more freedom to developers in marketing and distributing webOS apps. In addition to a few words from Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein, the video features Dion Almaer and Ben Galbraith, former Mozilla developers recruited by Palm to head up Developer Relations.
Senior VP or Marketing Katie Mitic briefly discusses the enhanced freedom that Palm is providing, with input from Lawrence Davison, head of Engineering for Marks/Space; Seppo Helava, Lead Designer for Self Aware; and Phil Constantinou, VP of Engineering for Evernote. "Building on those core values of trusting developers, you're going to see more programs just like this [the Palm Developer Program].", states Almaer. "As a developer, there's very little new to learn to hit the ground running...you can take your investment in creating applications, and leverage it in other places", Galbraith continues.
In addition to the video, Palm also has been running a series of developer profiles; interviews with various devs about their experience with webOS, the Mojo SDK and building their apps. You may be familiar with some of the apps already, so definitely worth a look.
