Palm WebOS Mojo SDK Now Available to All
Palm's SDK is available to all..!! Palm has recently released the Palm Pre Mojo SDK for
developing for the webOS. You can now get the SDK and Palm Pre emulator for yourself and
start coding up apps. Coding for webOS is very easy. If you are an expert in HTML and
Javascript. You can know how to code for webOS.
With the launch of the SDK, Palm Pre has also launched the WebOS Developer Portal, and the
Pre Virtual Device Lab. In the portal, developers can acquire the SDK, read reference guides,
help docs, and associated FAQs, or post in the developer forums and blogs. With the Virtual
Device Lab, developers can load their app onto a virtual Pre for remote testing.
One of the major things that makes the SDK so great is the fact that it uses common
programming language that most programmers are familiar with. HTML and JavaScript are
pretty basic stuff and with a little practice and help from the API it wouldn’t be too hard for
web programmers to get used to the Palm Pre programming environment.
The initial response to Palm webOS apps from both developers and customers has been
enthusiastic. In the initial beta stage, over 1.8 million apps were downloaded from the beta App
Catalog. Palm says thousands of developers participated in the Mojo SDK early access
program since it began in early April.
There’s also a opportunity for Palm to better manage the type of content available. For
example, will Palm filter submissions so that their catalogue doesn’t fill up with 30 different
shades of iFart? Some sort of quality threshold would be an ideal way to distinguish the App
Catalogue, but that would potentially hurt Palm’s profits - apps that appeal to the lowest
common denominator can also sell very well. How brave will Palm be in the months to come?
