Intro to Palm® Pre™ and App Catalog

Palm® Pre™ is the first device developed on the groundbreaking Palm® webOS™ platform. Palm’s next generation software and services platform. You can develop Palm® webOS applications using the Palm® Mojo™ Software Development Kit and tools, which includes complete documentation. Use the webOSdev discussion forums to get perspective and technical guidance from the webOS developer community. And follow the webOS blog for news.
