Make some money developing for (your) phone.

If you know Java Script (I don’t) and have some experience developing for the web (I don’t) and fancy a bit of fame (I don’t?) and money (I don’t??) then get yourself over to http://developer.palm.com/

Click on Building you first app “Learn more” then “Install the webOS SDK” then go back and follow the Hello World app. The SDK includes an emulator so you don’t need a phone (yet - see below).

To do clever stuff you’ll really need to know the webOS as well as Java Script - you may need to buy a book but you can find a lot of info with google! Basically the Palm runs java script but exposes it’s API so you can make a lot of other calls as well.

Before you invest hours writing the app that will make your fortune though have a look at

to tell you what is involved in publishing it.

And if you are serious, register as a developer and look through what you need to submit an app. (submit a dummy one and then remove it?). They want company names, tax details, support emails and web sites and the app must be tested on actual hardware so just using the emulator isn’t enough for submission.

Anyway, for now at least, registration as a developer is free (future costs of $99?) and publishing your app is free (was $50 for a chargeable app, free for open source) and money apart how cool would it be to see your app on peoples phones?
