Pre Insiders has reported that the Pre’s Mojo SDK has been leaked to the internet. Palm was planning an early access program, eventually releasing the SDK by the end of the summer, but this leak has accelerated the process. They are posting several download links, including torrents, but they warn developers to use the tools wisely.

I’m wondering if Palm doesn’t do this on purpose so they can beta test without any liability

I also grabbed it and was disappointed from a SDK standpoint, but very excited from a VM standpoint. It easily allowed me to take documentation screenshots I needed and also gave me the ability to go through settings I wanted to see that I didn’t when I played with a pre for ~10 min.
I imagine some good documentation will be included in the final release.
Why did you link ‘mojo sdk’ to ‘developer.palm.com?’ that’s a crime against sensible contextual links.

It is a bit of a letdown SDK wise, as it just creates a barebones framework of a program at this time, leaving you to figure out… well, everything. The keys to simulate the gesture area weren’t documented and took a bit of trial and error.
It’s sparse, but it’s workable.

it has to be a pr stunt to keep people talking about the pre. with the lead that the iphone has already, i figure palm needs all the help it can get

“wisely”? Really? Will the fabric of reality be torn asunder if the SDK is used improperly?
