Palm Pre app development

Well, I finally ditched the business-savvy Blackberry Curve for something a bit more fun: the Palm Pre. I initially wanted to switch to the Pre simply for the better web integration and touchscreen, but once I got it in my hands, I realized that it needs more functionality in the apps department! I am pleased that Palm is being much more selective than Apple in regards to what they will add to the official applications catalog, but it makes for some major holes.

Enter Pre | Central. They have great tips and tricks (as much as the Pre is intuitive, it took me longer than I thought to stop thinking like a Blackberry) as well as Homebrew Apps that with a little work initially, install easily. Makes the Pre more fun, easier to use and more me. The forums are a wealth of information as well; between the applications that are in development and the themes, it is a wonderful resource for truly personalizing your Pre.

Inspired by all of this, I am going to try my hand at creating WebOS applications for the Pre. Hopefully the next related post will have an interesting app link!
