Possibly Palm’s biggest mistake
Palm announced recently that they will be ramping up their SDK over the next few months to a full release at the end of the summer for the Palm Pre. As a developer, I think that timeline may be detrimental to the user experience for Palm. People are already complaining about the lack of apps, especially games. With a 3 month delay before a general release, I fear that their app store will feel as bare as it does now for at least 5-6 months. You should have had this all wrapped up at release, Palm…apple had time, you do not. But if you’re happy with only your initial sales figures and no others because you’re too scared to release your SDK and people are pissed about the lack of apps, giving you negative publicity, so be it. But as a developer I would prefer to start working with a beta sdk than no sdk…especially since it would help me get off the ground faster once you release the full thing. Just my two cents…
