Mojo SDK for Palm WebOS now available to all

After a successful early access program, Palm’s Mojo Software Development Kit is available to all interested app developers. The SDK can be downloaded from a new developer portal — Palm webOSdev — at developer.palm.com. Any interested developer with a valid email address can access the SDK, its associated documentation, and new Mojo developer forums.

The initial response to Palm webOS apps — from both developers and customers — has been enthusiastic. Even in its initial beta stage, over 1.8 million apps have been downloaded from the beta App Catalog since Palm Pre was released less than six weeks ago. Thousands of developers have participated in the Mojo SDK early access program since it began in early April. New applications are in the pipeline for the Palm App Catalog, and the App Catalog submission process will be opened to all developers beginning this fall. 

Developers interested in exploring Palm webOS and the Mojo SDK further may be interested in these upcoming events:

– Michael Abbott, Palm’s Senior Vice President for Application Software & Services, is speaking today on the emerging opportunities for mobile applications at the MobileBeat 2009 conference in San Francisco.

– webOShelp is organizing a developer meetup (at Palm’s Sunnyvale headquarters) on July 28.

– preDevCamp an informal network of Mojo developers, will host events in 73 cities around the world on August 8.

Additional opportunities to find out more about developing for Palm webOS can be found on the webOSdev portal.
