HP has unveiled an all-new developer portal for webOS, which you can find at developer.hpwebos.com. HP wants to push the story that webOS isn't just about phones anymore, it's also about Tablets and, yes, every PC that HP ships.

HP has detailed just what developers need to do to enter the Early Access Program so they can get the webOS 3.0 SDK and start developing TouchPad apps in Enyo. Basiclally, you just need sign up for a regular developer account and then email pdc@palm.com and ask for it. The SDK includes not just Enyo details, but reference UI components, help for designing for the TouchPad, and app examples.

Hopefully we'll see the webOS 3.0 SDK go out of private beta and into the public sphere in short order after the TouchPad is released to help wash out the bad taste we got during the 5 month wait for the 2.0 SDK.

I just sent the request mail to Palm and it was deleted without being read! I guess they're not all that serious?

Thank you for the reply. I'll give it a shot in the morning (West Coast morning - I'm on the East Coast).

Actually, thats been addressed a few times in the developer forum. PDC is a routing email address and likely it got forward to a different email address and then your original message was deleted.

I'm in the early access program and there doesn't seem to be a new webOS 3.0 SDK download in the private forums.

The Announcements forum tells you all about it...

Dear HP,
Is it realistic to think we will be able to purchase a webOS device this year? I mean I stepped foot at 3 verizon stores and none had the palm pre 2. WHEN?? WHEN??? we've been hearing coming soon for like 2 years!!!!
