Got apps for Pixi? They’ll work on the all-new HP Veer.
More good news! If you’ve created apps for the Palm Pixi, they’ll just work on the HP Veer, the next all-new webOS smartphone that’s coming just around the corner. We’re going to do a big push around this tiny marvel of a phone, so if your app isn’t already optimized for Pixi’s 320×400 display, it’s definitely worth considering. Get on the Veer wave!
The transition to webOS 3.0: Things to keep in mind
As we all make this transition to 3.0, one of the biggest questions from developers is, what should I do now?
If you’re a developer with existing webOS apps…
You can extend your reach by optimizing your app for the HP Veer and Pre3, using new and updated features in webOS 2.0 like Just Type, Exhibition and Synergy.
