Palm: Free Apps For The Web, Free Development For Open Source, And Free Phones!

I'm here in San Francisco for a meeting Palm has called to give its newest employees , Ben Galbraith and Dion Almaer, who both came over from Mozilla, a chance to talk a bit about the state of the webOS platform. The two, along with Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein and some other executives spoke at length about the hardware, the platform, and the plan going forward. The message was pretty clear: Web development is the future, and openness is the way. They also made a few big announcements.
