Palm announced it will shutter its webOS early access program in favor of opening up its Mojo SDK to the developer community at large. "I'm very pleased to announce that effective today we are wrapping up the webOS early access program," writes Palm Developer Community Manager Chuq Von Rospach on the Palm Developer Network Blog. "We are doing this because today we opened up the program to everyone and released our new public developer portal at http://developer.palm.com [1] ... This is one more step in delivering webOS to all developers and providing the tools they need to build great applications for Palm phones."
Late last month, Palm reported [2] the webOS developer community doubled in size overnight after the device maker sent out its first batch of invitations requesting programmers to sign on. "This is just the first set of new members--our plan is to double the size of the program again in the next week, and then continue the growth as fast as we can until everyone who wants the SDK has access to it," Von Rospach wrote.
