Palm officially releases Mojo SDK to the Public!
PreThinking
It's not the end of Summer yet and the Palm Mojo SDK is publicly released, at last. When you get to the new Palm Developer site (I believe it was just a blog before), you'll find a dev forum, guides, tools, blog, and more!
Palm in a blog post, said that they'll open App submission as earlier as the beginning of this Fall. Which is a little later then we expected, maybe a change of plans... But why?
Why are you still here? Get over there and download the SDK for your OS NOW.

WTF no app submissions until this fall? I thought they started accepting apps like last week.
This is great news! Will be downloading the SDK shortly.
Even though Palm won't open App submission until the Fall, there should be nothing preventing individual developers offering their apps themselves on their sites.
Ah, the beauty of an open application platform!
Good point Bassam and I hope that developers do that very, very soon!
@Bassam: No, we won't be able to distribute apps on our own. Check the SDK License Agreement, at http://developer.palm.com/termsofservice.html - section 4.3 is titled "Applications Can Only Be Distributed Through the Palm Application Catalog". Looks like they're going the Apple "tight control, must get pre-approval to distribute your apps" route. :(
Im sure someone will think of a way around that. Great news!!
"You heard it here first! Confirmed by a number of devs that got accepted in the Early Access program, developers can now submit their apps to Palm for consideration to be included in the Beta App Catalog, starting from today. I predict that the App Catalog will expand from 30 apps to about 80 apps by the end of next week."
That was written by this site 2 weeks ago. What a joke this site is. It's run by morons.
@ Adam
I can't control when Palm decides to allow app submission. They just think it would be best to push it back to Fall.
@Adam
Then why are you here? Go away!
