Welcome to Sacramento.preDevCamp.org!

There’s only one way to get what you want in this world, and that’s to ask. I’m asking all you to get involved locally so that Palm’s revolutionary device, the Palm Pre™, has as many people as possible working to make it even better. And, as a practical user, I’m looking forward to seeing great industry- and environment-specific applications for the new WebOS.

Ready to get involved? Let’s go!

Just send me a message via Twitter.

What are you so excited about?

That wasn’t as sarcastic as it might sound, it was a serious question: What about the Palm Pre™ has you so excited? What will it change for you?

For me, the answers are simple:

  1. Finally, an alternative to the iPhone! It’s not that the iPhone isn’t swell, but give me a phone that isn’t being sold to me as Already Perfect and, thus, allows me some control over the device itself. Removable battery, anyone?
  2. As a real estate professional (that’s right, I’m not a tech dude), I’ve appreciated Palm functionality designed for my business–but boy was it time for a redesign.
  3. Unified calendar and messaging. Hot.
  4. Let’s be honest, it’s just plain sexy.

Who are you? And what does the Palm Pre™ mean to you?
