Now that Palm has finally come to their senses bringing 3D games to the webOS platform — they made the announcement of this great news at CES 2010. They will be present at the 2010 Game Developers Conference, even though their new Plug-in Development Kit (PDK) is limited to a few select developers for now.
This year’s Game Developers Conference (or GDC) will take place in San Francisco California at the Moscone Center from March 9-13 2010. That’s about 40 miles from Palm’s Sunnyvale headquarters which will make for a good hour of driving. Palm’s sponsored session is scheduled for Friday March 12th from 3:00pm — 4:00pm.
The title for this presentation is: “An Overview to Creating Games with Palm’s Plug-in Development Kit (PDK)”. Sounds good right? We are hoping for some new game releases around that time. Below is Palm’s description for this event:
Come learn how to take full advantage of the advanced hardware capabilities of Palm’s webOS devices–including full OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0 support–using the recently announced Plug-in Development Kit (PDK). This technical session will provide an architectural overview of Palm’s hardware and software platforms and then provide hands-on details for how the PDK exposes these capabilities.
