Step 1 to get your free TouchPad: get to Paris or Berlin.



A company the size of HP can afford to give away piles of TouchPads and Pres to developers that might be mildly interested. HP should have somebody hunting down the twitter accounts of prolific app developers and mailing out starter packs of hardware. Google has been handing out hardware left and right and doesn't seem to be slowing down one bit.


You don't have to get to Paris or Berlin. You can email them (that's what I did).


2. Must be registered for and present at the event to be eligible. 4. Must be able to show your app in progress to a designated HP webOS representative, in the form of an .ipk file we can load onto and test with an HP TouchPad.


"You can also email us at TouchPadSDK [att] palm [dott] com and one of our app specialists will work with you to see how you can qualify for this program."


They need to think about what the word "must" means.


There are also events at the Palm campus in Sunnyvale today (June 9) and next week (June 16)

Step 2, build a time travel device to go back to 25-27th of May.
