As of late, Palm has been doing some interesting things with pricing on the apps and the costs that developers are charged to submit apps for entry into the App Catalog. But just in case you missed some of that, Palm is offering all apps at 50% off until July 23rd and they have also stopped charging (and refunded to those who paid) the $50 app submission fee.
Well, now it looks like they are permanently waiving the $99 developer fee. Of course, in the past that fee had been a little off and on, mostly off from what we understand. But either way, the good news here is that they are not planning to charge it in the future. And just like that, webOS app developers can now sign up and also submit apps for entry into the App Catalog for free. Maybe this will help attract some to the platform.

On one side is a luxury goods brand loved by celebrities and fashionistas across the globe; on the other, the great-granddaughter of the empire's founder. Welcome to the battle of Gucci vs Gucci. The fashion house is taking legal action against Elisabetta Gucci after she announced plans this month to launch a worldwide chain of hotels in her name. The first, an 87-room luxury boutique hotel in Dubai, is scheduled to open this year. The fashion house, now French-owned, has filed a lawsuit against Elisabetta Gucci "seeking injunctive relief in order to protect its rights". "Following the news that appeared in the last few weeks in some international media titles and the alleged involvement of Gucci fashion house with a certain hotel project, Gucci wants to make clear that it has no relationship to Elisabetta Gucci Hotels and that it is not involved in any project whatsoever with Elisabetta Gucci Hotels," said a statement yesterday from Gucci, which made €2.3bn (£1.9bn) in revenue last year. <a href="guccihttp://www.brandshoppingsde.com/">gucci</a>
