Palm Developer Day Keynote Liveblog

We are live at Palm’s developer days and the mood here is pretty much perfectly encapsulated by Jon Rubinstein’s surprise appearance and comment yesterday: "I’m still here." Indeed, the 150 or so developers who have come to this at-capacity event are excited by the possibilites of webOS and the technologies behind it (free-but-unactivated Verizon Palm Pre Plus phones for developers didn’t hurt, either). We’ll have a full roundup in the coming days.

Right now, keep it locked on this post. At 9am Pacific / 12 Eastern Ben Galbraith and Dion Almaer will present the keynote for this mini-conference. We’re very much anticipating that we’re going to see clues about what’s coming in future versions of webOS. Since this is a presentation by and for developers, it’s probably too much to hope for a lot of flashy next generation features, but we’d be pretty happy to see some guidance on what Palm expects with the PDK and SDK (an especially urgent topic this week) and perhaps a few new APIs for developers to look forward to.

Join us after the break as we liveblog!
