Hi Dion – congrats on your baby!

I’d be happy to help you setup a NYC event – I will email you at the address you left in the comment later today.

And thanks for checking on the email.

Hi Allen, and others,

We had a small gathering to announce the program and it made sense to make that local as we had the engineers participate and get feedback. It was done at short notice and there were other factors (for example, I had just had a baby a few days before!)

Don’t read much into the fact that it was in the bay area :) We certainly want to get to other cities in the US and the world!

Allen, want to help me setup a NYC event that is awesome? :)

Cheers,

Dion

Director of Palm Developer Relations

ps. I will also check in to see why you haven’t received email…. that is just a bug.

Palm doesn’t care about developers – I don’t know why. They don’t even send out an email to already registered developers that the dev kit is available and how to develop for palm pre.

don’t know if you know this but… Apples app store is now driving devs away. Not just because they are making devs mad with rejections and nonsense but also because some of the bigger devs aren’t making money. Even popular apps aren’t getting money anymore because iphone users want free apps and there are too many other apps at cheaper prices to make sales.

Excellent post – I am in Chicago and no company ever comes to talk to us here. We have good pizza too.
