MobiHand, the only Tam-Hanna-Jerk-Free-Certified Palm OS ESD recently sent out a newsletter to all of its developer partners. Yeah, probably 90% of all recipients throw it away without reading – but since it contains some really useful hints, here we go(abbreviated, sorted by importance):
MobiHand disables all non-real-time fulfillment options
Many Palm OS applications(e.g. legacy Tamoggemon products like LedManager) rely on the developer to create the unlock codes based on some kind of weird algorithm. Newer titles like DailyQuote and FileFind are instead activated by the Tamoggemon.com server automatically – this is faster but a bit less safe.
MobiHand will disable all (Palm OS) applications that are still on manual fulfillment on 1st May.
Thumbnail image processor
Now developers can finally generate those nice little MobiHandish thumbnails themselves…
Changes to subscription pricing and upgrade pricing
MobiHand did a lot of changes to the better here – contact your MobiHand representative for the full list =).
New stores
MobiHand launches a few stores dedicated to only a specific type of device. These will charge at a premium rate(read: more ESD coutlage), but otherwise behave like a regular store!
Overall, while I am very much against MobiHand’s decision to stop supporting non-realtime-methods in the face of growing and growing Palm OS pirate activity, the news overall are great. Don’t forget that PalmGear is there for all those who really want developer fulfillment…
