Back in February, there was a webcast for webOS with Mitch Allen, who is vice president and software chief technology officer at Palm, Inc. That webcast was; “Developing Applications for webOS: A Preview”. It was a great opportunity for developers to hear an insider’s perspective on webOS development.
This next webcast is a follow up to [...]
Thanks to Jenn at pocketables for letting us know that the Palm Pre webcast and Q&A session is now available to watch online. The video above is the 11 minute demo. Nice to see the Pre being demoed again. I liked seeing the Pre’s screen turned off at the beginning of this demo. I don’t remember seeing that before. Watching the Pre demo just got my drool glands worked up all over again.
Below is the Q&A session video.
12 questions were addressed in the video, which is actually 12 short videos put together in "playlist" format so you can skip around. One of the questions concerned Sprint’s plans. Below are the individual plans available for the Pre:
Also discussed was the Sprint Ready program, which is like a personal trainer at no cost. A Sprint person will go through the phone’s features in the store and make sure that the customer understands them before walking out with the new phone, making sure that you are comfortable with the device.
Other questions addressed (click on each link for individual video):
You can go back and read through Dieter’s live blog of the Webinar and read many comments that were made during the event. We didn’t learn much of anything new from the webcast, but we did find out that there is a limit to the number of cards you can have open at the same time. Plus we learned that the Pre’s browser might just be 4 times faster than the iPhone’s.
My Pre managed to snag a 10-minute clip of the Pre being demoed during Sprint’s invite-only webcast earlier today. Even though Sprint and Palm didn’t reveal price or exact release date, the Palm Pre price plans have been confirmed. As far as the demo of the Pre goes, there isn’t anything we haven’t seen before [...]
Hey! The live invite-only webcast from Sprint and Palm just started. First words: we’d say nothing about availability (which is sometime during first half of the year) and about pricing … ohh, they’ll just show off how great it is.
Refresh this page, as we’ll put live updates here! Also you can follow us on twitter, [...]

Update: Liveblog over — news was, well, mostly rehashing how awesome Sprint is and how awesome the Pre will be on Sprint for Sprint’s investors. Remember, in this partnership, Palm’s not the only company teetering on the edge.
You can see all the slides from the event after the break!

We told it you was coming, well now the Sprint/Palm combined webcast is nearly upon us, happening on the 12th at 2pm Eastern. The webcast is invite only, but we’ll be there and will bring you what news there is live on this very page.
We’ll start the festivities 15 minutes before, you can comment above (no need to reload the page), and it should be pre-tty exciting for PreFects. Frankly, we’re not entirely sure that we will see new information here, but then again, it’s not as if the people who will be attending this webcast don’t already know all that there is to know, so it’s possible we might get some more new-ness — that’s certainly the hope in our Palm Pre forums.
On the ‘cast will be David Owens, Director of Consumer Acquisition for Sprint, and Matt Crowley, Product Line Manager at Palm.
Update: It suddenly occurs to me to mention that there will be a Q&A section to the webcast. Got an idea for a question, let us know in the comments now!

It’s hard to say how much more of an exclusive viewing there is to be had on the Palm Pre other than Palm and Sprint announcing the release date. Anyways, this email just dropped in my inbox with the following content:

We had a few requests for the slides to the Developing Applications for WebOS webcast. I’ve uploaded them to Slideshare, and they’re now available for those that wanted them.

Missed the O’Reilly webOS webcast or just want to watch it again? You’re in luck! The whopping webcast, over 56min long, has been uploaded (youtube here). PreCentral covered the event and while most of the presentation was known information, the Q&A session afterwards revealed some interesting details.
WebOSHelp also covered the event and in the first part of their coverage they’ve highlighted some of more interesting and base information for the WebOS. They’ve also created a quick-list of what was said during the Q&A session (handy if you don’t want to sit through an hour-long video):
WebOSHelp has gone a step farther and based on existing information, combined with new information from this webcast, they’ve pulled together some links to informative HTML/CSS/JS tutorials, ordered by difficulty: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. There’s even a special tutorial designed for HTML5 data storage and a page devoted to Prototype resources. For those unaware, Prototype is a javascript framework that Palm will be bundling with their upcoming developer tools and was used to help create many of the built-in application on the Pre.
Now we just need the SDK. Palm, you’re such a tease.
