It’s begun. Although lacking a general release of the SDK, the first homebrew apps have emerged thanks to last night’s leaked WebOS root image.

Devs have also started tampering with existing code to disable the shutter sound on the camera while leaving the rest of the sounds enabled. Now why would somebody want to do that?
Update: Updated image from an excited developer that shows scm6079′s work over at PreCentral evolving with a 5-second photo timer and more.
