Hack a Palm Pre Using the Konami Code, You Say?

The “Best Generation” was not the group that came of age in the Depression era, but those that grew in the third generation of home gaming consoles and were privy to the wonder that is the Konami Code:
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start
Want another chance to save the world? Konami Code. Need 30 more lives to work out that pent up aggression? Konami Code. Want to hack your shiny new Palm Pre and enter the secret Developer Mode Enabler? You guessed it.
While browsing the web before choosing which smartphone will replace the useless brick I am currently toting around, I stumbled upon this confirmation of a joke I heard days ago on engadget.com. By manually typing in the Konami Code, the lucky few with a Palm Pre can reset their smartphone and connect to the upcoming Mojo SDK for webOS to test out the latest creations for the Pre. Truly amazing just where this little gem of a gaming sequence still pops up. I will confirm the code for myself when I (hopefully) get my own Pre soon!
Now what would happen if you entered R2, R2, L1, R2, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down?
