I imagine they require the developer account type for the device program, right? That's what the vocabulary on the page seems to imply -- I'm going to try to get the coupon with with a basic account first, but I expect they'll just tell me to upgrade to the developer account type.

Oh my mistake, I was thinking about the developer/community memberships here: https://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_register&view=register&info https://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_register&#38... You'll notice a Community Membership doesn't mention anything about application submissions. Developer Memberships allow you to... * Enroll in the webOS Developer program ($99/year; covers up to xx application submissions) * Submit you webOS application(s) for review and approval by Palm * Upon approval, your application(s) will be signed to verify its status as Palm approved * Your signed application(s) will be listed in the HP webOS Application Catalog

  The reference to "$99/year; covers up to xx application submissions" is clearly wrong. "xx" as the number of submissions might be the clue. If you click thru to signup it reads: Benefits of a Developer Account - Develop, distribute & manage your apps - Download the SDK - Get documentation, contribute on the forums - Free - annual fee waived for a limited time - Always free for Open Source Developers "limited time" here being ... always. Its always been that way and there is no sign its going to change.
