Post-Palm Pre launch camp for developers set, has Austin ties
Some people not sold on the iPhone, the BlackBerry Storm or the Google Android as the touch-screen phone of their dreams have started to pin their hopes on Palm’s upcoming phone, the Pre, which so far has earned raves from those who got to check out the device at the January Consumer Electronics Show.
And now there’s another reason to get excited: Austin’s William “Whurley” Hurley is one of the organizers of “preDevCamp,” a 60-city event scheduled to take place one week after the phone is released in the U.S. (whenever that might be; there’s been no date yet set). Along with partners-in-crime Dan Rumney and Giovanni Gallucci, Whurley is already posting cities that will be participating (live in Croatia? You’re in luck!) on the preDevCamp site.
Like a previous iPhone development camp held long before Apple’s App Store launched, it will be a place for people who want to develop apps for the Pre to gather and get started making the applications that Pre users will eventually download.
I hope to get to play with a Pre at some point, so all you developers out there, get cracking. I want great apps and a phone to recommend other than the iPhone.
