Though webOS 2.1 (http://engadget.com/tag/webos2.1) has already gone out to Pre 2s (http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/09/palm-pre-2-gets-official-webos-2-1-update-classic-emulator-hack/) (and a handful of Pre Pluses (http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/22/webos-2-1-for-the-pre-plus-now-available-to-download-for-o2-germ/)) around the globe, developers not included in HP's NDA-protected Early Access Program have been shut out of the latest version of the SDK -- until now. That's right: any old riffraff coming in off the street now have access to the webOS 2.1 SDK download, featuring Exhibition enhancements, "hybrid" app support for packages that span HTML, JavaScript, and C / C++, and JavaScript-based webOS service development capability. In its blog post announcing the move, HP makes specific mention of the Pixi (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Pixi/), saying that those apps will "just work" on the Veer (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Veer/) -- in other words, if you'd been avoiding developing for the smaller screen resolution before, you've got newfound impetus to start now since the company is planning a "big push" around the Veer's release that's "coming just around the corner." Of course, it's the TouchPad (http://www.engadget.com/tag/TouchPad/) that's got everyone really fired up in Palm land right now... but you've got to start somewhere.
