Pradeep over at wmpoweruser.com has published an email that is being sent out to the (apparent) legions of developers jumping ship from WebOS to Windows.

Anyone fancy the deal to build 300 apps for Nokia?
I’m sure there’s a lot of executives reading who wouldn’t mind the contract to build 300 apps for Nokia. Alas the opportunity has been snapped up by Canadian firm, Polar Mobile.

The patent panic hitting the App Store developers
This is one of those frustrating news items that has the propensity to wind-up everybody and generate a heck of a lot of bad publicity for the key protagonist waving his patents.
