I hope there's gaming potential in webOS... that processor is too good to not be used for gaming.]]>Feb 27th 2009 1:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/

Sure, games might be a bit harder to program (although, with Flash due to be coming by the end of the year, that will change), but any non-3D app that is available in the Apple App Store will be 10x easier to develop on the Pre, and will be able to offer a great deal more functionality. This is a dream platform to develop for, and as a programmer looking for a fun side-project, I cannot wait to sink my teeth into this sucker.]]>Feb 27th 2009 4:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/
That's going to encourage developers, huh?]]>Feb 27th 2009 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/
I agree, if the phone is the web server and the application resides on the phone then, the app code is completely viewable and redistributable, I really hope they address this before release. The only way I can see around this is if they store all OS data in some sort of encrypted image with no possibility of viewing files in the OS's file system.]]>Feb 27th 2009 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/
I'm scratching my head about how many different type of server-based applications would be available for WebOS whenever it's released and how many PHONE users are going to want to use them (as opposed to, say, desktop users).

That's all your scratching your head about? If what you say is true then either the developer or Palm has to host the source code on a remote web server? That sounds awful.....

We need more detail Engadget, hook it up.]]>Feb 27th 2009 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/

No matter what way you cut it, it is JAVASCRIPT AND HTML. There are many articles going in depth about this when the iPhone first came out if you are interested in the details of what can and cannot be done..]]>Feb 27th 2009 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/Feb 27th 2009 4:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/Feb 27th 2009 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/palm-finally-manages-to-bore-us-to-tears-with-webos-mojo-sdk-tut/

What I am concerned is how will Palm takes care of people who need more low level support (either for performance or other reasons?)
I would love to see the low level API that their WebKit port is using to be exposed. Are they using a GTK port of WebKit by any chance? I read somewhere that they are using GStreamer for HTML5 video.
The other big issue is that Javascript performance by using a JIT (WebKit's Nitro/SquirrelFish) seems to use more memory to get decent performance. Does Palm even use a JIT? Webkit/Nitro only works on an x86.
