Palm has said Applications will have access to hardware features, there is no reason to believe locative services won't be a part of that.]]>Jan 13th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/Jan 13th 2009 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/
My guess: at Mobile Expo, Palm will unveil the GSM version of the Pre, with Vodaphone as the exclusive UK partner and a £99 price for it (which would mean about $150 for the US CDMA version) with a 2 year contract.

I guess you could say you heard it here first :) ]]>Jan 13th 2009 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/
I have a feeling that it will go CDMA here, although I am not too excited to have to switch providers.

WebOS is pretty lame too. I dunno..."CloudOS"? "MojoOS"? MoOS? (Mobile/Mojo OS? = they could use a Bullwinkle logo!) Nobody really chooses an OS or a device because it's likable...or do they? (Google the AndroidGirl.)

How long after launch until we see an Android app or plugin that runs all webOS stuff? That'd be pretty brilliant]]>Jan 13th 2009 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/
"Most of the iPod touch games could be handled with a browser"? Are you serious? Shall we take a stroll through memory lane to see what happened when Apple announced it would encourage devs to make Web Apps for the iPhone?

What an unbelievable double standard for the Apple hating posters on this site. This thing will be out in 6 months. Not now. 6 months. And as per Colligan, it will be more expensive than the iPhone.

Determining what little information is shown on the Palm developer website, the applications should run as native as possible, either through JIT execution or a special browser that compiles any HTML/CSS/JS code instead of interpreting it (much like Chrome's JS engine). I'm just speculating at this point, but I don't think Palm would want to mimic Apple's first idea completely.

Most of the power of webOS applications will come from the Mojo framework, depending on how much hardware access it will provide. HTML/CSS/JS will just be tools in this case.]]>Jan 13th 2009 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/Jan 13th 2009 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/Jan 13th 2009 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/
I preffer a clean interface to one that is all cluttered up with transitions, usless 3d animations, and other such GUI nonsense. Why waste processor and ram on crap that just bogs everything down! (I am looking at YOU Vista!)

Something that is clean and just works is just fine with me.]]>Jan 13th 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/
There will be a native turn by turn GPS on the phone I'm guessing. The instinct has one, and I'm sure Palm or Sprint will be including one with the phone. It's just games that won't be coming out initially I'm guessing. Although, I've seen some pretty good web based games too, and the fact that there are rumors flash might be coming to the phone means games could be created in that as well.

I'm really excited to get rid of my iPhone for the Pre. After watching pretty much every video on the webOS, my iPhone OS and UI just looks so boring and restrictive. I can't wait until I can have more than 1 app running at once. And I'm willing to bet we're going to see some really good social networking and messaging apps for the Pre. And that's what a phone is really for, staying connected. The fact that Palm is allowing developers to access everything in the phone makes the potential for some seriously innovative and amazing apps to be created.

I just hope Palm doesn't seriously screw something up from now until release. Although we don't really have any true hands on of the phone, judging by the webOS videos of people using it, it's going to be really nice. Hopefully the hardware will keep up with the OS, and I'd really like to know what the RAM numbers are. If the phone gets sluggish after a few apps are opened, then there is going to be a problem.]]>Jan 13th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/Jan 13th 2009 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/
3D support should be trivial at best, provided they wrote proper drivers for OpenGL|ES. They can still stick to the whole HTML/CSS/JS development paradigm by providing support for the new Canvas3D specs being developed at Mozilla.]]>Jan 13th 2009 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/

"Palm May Sell Pre For $149

(alleyinsider.com) -- The blogosphere is breathless with speculation about how newly undead Palm (PALM) will price the device that wowed this year's wilted CES. Palm CEO Ed Colligan originally hallucinated that he could charge more for the handset than Apple and RIM charge for theirs, Venturebeat says, but thankfully, he has since returned to sanity. Now he may just want $149.

Venturebeat: Initially, it seemed that Palm planned to charge more than the $199 (and $299) that AT&T and Apple charge for the iPhone, since Palm's chief executive Ed Colligan indicated it was a better device, and as such could command a higher price tag. This seemed confirmed by a report a few days ago that the Pre may be $399 on Sprint's network. But those numbers have been clarified a bit further.

Palm is still finalizing pricing for the Pre, but tentatively is talking about charging either $399 or $499 for Pre without a contract, says Mobile-review (Unwired View breaks it down in English). But with a contract, those numbers are expected to fall to either $149 or $199 - which would put it at or below the iPhone price in the United States (which requires a two-year contract with AT&T).

The report also suggests that Palm may be limited to an initial production run of 200,000 units due to a shortage of displays, but that bulk production will be ready for the holiday shopping season of 2009.

Of course, it doesn't really matter what Palm sells the Pre for if you have to use it on Sprint."

Doesn't Ed Colligan (Palm's CEO) in that video seem quite hasty in saying it'll be in Sprint initially. Almost as though he's aware of the bad press the Sprint exclusivity and wants to reassure after the exclusive period is over things will be more widely available.

That's just my interpretation of his voice and attitude. I could be completely wrong]]>Jan 13th 2009 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palms-mojo-sdk-for-webos-in-pictures/Jan 13th 2009 5:08PM
