任何 Palm Pre 都可以用于开发吗?
我们即将开始使用 WebOS 为 Palm 开发软件。
尽管模拟器可用于测试,但看到它在物理设备上运行我总是更有信心。
我在 Palm 网站上找不到任何地方告诉我是否可以购买现成的 Palm Pre 并在其上运行我的应用程序,或者是否必须购买具有特定类型合同的设备/将其解锁以某种方式/无论如何。
有谁知道吗?你做过这个吗?
(抱歉,这几乎与编程无关,但我想不出还能问哪里。我确信有人已经做到了这一点,并且可以快速给我一个“是”或“否”。谢谢。)
哦 - 我在英国,如果这有什么区别的话。
We're about to start developing software for the Palm, using WebOS.
Though an emulator is available for testing, I always feel more confident seeing it run on a physical device as well.
I can't find anywhere on Palm's website that tells me whether I can just buy an off-the-shelf Palm Pre and run my app on it, or if I have to buy one with a particular type of contract/ have it unlocked in some way/ whatever.
Does anyone know? Have you done this?
(Sorry this is barely programming-related, but I couldn't think where else to ask. I'm sure someone has done this and can give me a quick yay or nay. Thanks.)
Oh - I'm in the UK, if that makes any difference.

您可以使用任何现成的 Pre。只需 使用 Konami 代码即可启用开发者模式*,然后就可以开始了!
另一方面是您的手机确实需要某种服务。借助某些技巧,可以使用 Pre 进行开发没有任何实际的电话服务...但是,如果您关心测试行为尽可能接近普通用户手机的东西,您可能不想走这条路。
更新:Palm 现在提供购买计划开发人员让您无需签订合同即可购买 WebOS 手机(并且可以享受折扣……前提是您在美国或加拿大)。但是,这不是必需的,只是如果您不想实际注册服务的话的另一种选择。 (OTOH,您可能可以在 Ebay 上以更低的价格找到一个,如果您不关心是否使用过电话位...)
*(您也可以使用稍短的webos20090606 触发器,但这有什么好玩的?)
You can use any ol' off-the-shelf Pre. Just use the Konami code to enable Developer Mode*, and you'll be good to go!
The flip side of this is that you do need some sort of service for your phone. It's possible, with the aid of certain hacks, to use a Pre for development without having any actual phone service... But you probably don't want to go down this route if you care about testing on something that behaves as close as possible to a normal user's phone.
Update: Palm now offers a purchase program for developers that lets you buy a WebOS phone without a contract (and with a discount... provided you're in the US or Canada). However, this isn't a requirement, just another option if you don't care to actually sign up for service. (OTOH, you can probably find one on Ebay for less if you don't care about ever using the phone bit...)
*(you can also use the slightly shorter webos20090606 trigger, but what fun is that?)
