Modern Mobility: Palm WebOS Dev accounts Now FREE :) Get it

Considering Palm is looking for a buyer and their chief developer just resigned, does it really matter that a dev account is now free ?<p>I looks to me more like a sign that the whole thing might be discontinued shortly so why would anyone invest their time in something that looks like a dying platform ?<p>The $99 wasn't a problem, except for people that just wanted to make some free apps.

Blogspam, but here is the registration link if you're interested: <a href="https://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&#38;view=article&#38;layout=page&#38;id=1875" rel="nofollow">https://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&#38;...</a>

Flagging this because the story itself has no link to the free registration and the Palm dev site makes no mention of this. There is no proof and other sites I've found mentioning this are link bait (with irrelevant links in the story).

Seems a bit late now. They should have been encouraging people to write apps for their struggling platform and made it free from day one.
