Palm retroactively refunding $50 webOS app submission fee — each and every one
Posted in: app, AppStore, developer, developers, palm, Today's Chili, webos
Palm’s made a few half-baked attempts at wooing developers in the past, like that time in October when it waived the fees and review process for open-source apps (but not App Catalog entries) or when it provided discounted handsets that happened to carry a large carrier-specific ball and chain. This week, Palm’s decided to be a bit more generous — it’s eliminating the $50 App Catalog submission fee entirely and putting every last cent back where it came from. With only 2,684 apps in the store, that’s just $134,200 in total, but symbolically it’s a very welcome gesture, no? According to the official Palm Developer Center Blog, developers should see credits appear in their PayPal accounts soon — though perhaps not soon enough to spend it on the fruit of their fellow man’s labor at 50 percent off.
