After posting an innocent bit of outreach to the developer community in his blog, Andrew Shebanow, Web Services dude at Palm, found himself not only overwhelmed with ideas about how to handle the App Catalog, but also at the forefront of Palm’s developer PR strategy. The recently-launched Palm Developer Network Blog promises to be a hub for both developers and end-users to voice their opinions on how the on-device software outlet should run, as well as plenty of other developer-related issues. Apple’s been less than kind to their third-party software writers, but Android has their crowd tickled pink with attention, and if Palm can meet Google’s standard of open communication and collaboration, they’ll be sitting pretty for their first WebOS handset.
