Amped is a free, all-day, high-octane hack event featuring the Palm� webOS� challenge, where you�ll build creative cross-platform mobile apps using the web languages and technologies you already know and love. Best of all, you�ll walk away with apps that can be deployed across platforms�a huge advantage in today�s mobile market.
