Palm has sent $100 of Amazon vouchers to all developers who participated in the beta webOS program. A nice touch from a company who used to not understand the importance of developers…

From The MX Web- “As we all know, the folks over at Palm have been treating developers quite well. When the Palm Pre launched back in June there were a measly 15 applications. Today? There are well over 700, and with new apps being released daily that number will soon turn 4 digits.  Palm is moving full steam ahead with webOS. By the end of this year we should see the App Catalog launched, no longer in beta, and Flash 10.1. But none of these things were the present from Palm.

Today in mail, all developers who have participated in Palm’s beta webOS App Catalog were sent a $100 gift card to Amazon. The gift card was accompanied by a letter, pictured above, with signatures from Jon Rubinstein, CEO, and Ben Galbraith and Dion Almaer, Directors of Developer Relations. Good move Palm, you’ve made a lot of developers happy. While this $100 doesn’t add up to much for many developers, in this case it is “the thought that counts”.

However, more importantly, Palm cannot rest on their laurels in 2010. They need to continue to better their young operating system so they can compete with the likes of Google and Apple. So Palm, If you’re still in the giving mood check out The Mx Web’s webOS Christmas list.”
