Palm said Tuesday its WebOS developer program will open in December with an "unparalleled level of transparency" in a not-so-subtle dig at Apple.

The company, which is playing catch-up to Apple with its applications store, kicked off its App Catalog beta program on Tuesday.

Among the key details of Palm's developer program:

• A 70/30 revenue split. (Palm gets 30 percent.)

• A $99 annual fee. That fee is waived if you submit an open-source WebOS app.

• The company will review every application and developers will pay a fee of $50 for each app.
