It is finally here! We can download the official SDK from Palm. There is a couple of things I realize about myself when I saw this blurb on Giz. One, why am I so excited for a tech I do not personally own and two for a person that pokes and prod, I sure get excited about things that is really for harden developers. Who cares, I am kicking off the download now.

Palm posted on their developer’s blog that their SDK will not be available for general public until the end of summer.
With the launch of iPhone 3.0 SDK and Android moving full steam with the cupcake, Palm is not helping the momentum by holding back tinkers like me and more serious developers by limiting access. What is crazy the community is flipping out for access now that the webOS has been cracked. Palm has crazy support by doing nothing. They should have all this ready at launch, boy did they screw up:
We’ve been working very hard on the SDK and are eager to open access on a wider scale, but the software and the developer services to support it just aren’t ready yet.
I spent the last couple of days filling in for my dad while he recovers from surgery. My parents own a couple of stores in Colorado and though it would have been helpful to manage the front-end, my talents were better utilized elsewhere, like fixing up their homes and properties. So while I was re-wiring electrical (small stuff mind you) and moving a whole lot of earth, a lot of tech news had occurred while I was away. Like, oh I don’t know, the preview of the iPhone 3.0! So sadly I was not there when all the tech sites went live with coverage, but at least there were great summaries:
With much of the public attention drifting toward WebOS, Android, iPhone and Blackberry, it seems the market leader Symbian and the recently formed Symbian Foundation will not be resting on it’s laurels, offered up it’s plan for five simultaneous builds of it’s OS. This will allow agile support for in-demand features yet ensure active builds released in the wild are stable and secure. With such an aggressive plan, one has to wonder how much of this announcement relates to leading the market with innovation or trying to divert the growing attention to the impending launch of Palm Pre, Windows Mobile 6.5 or iPhone 3.0. This is turning into a great Texas Hold’em poker game. Heck Palm just went ‘all in‘.
