PS- And Apple doesn't count because they have the logo. The logo means you could put out a device every 4 years and everyone would except it as the God Phone until the day the next one comes out.

"Palm is not only committed to including but excited about some of the new features in HTML5. Hardware-accelerated CSS transitions are a go, which will really speed up animations and transitions in webOS."]]>Apr 26th 2010 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/
HTML 5 is a rather broad term, so it likely means that there are some 'HTML5' things that are going to be supported. But I believe most HTML5 features are currently supported in WebOS.

As for hardware accelerated css transitions, that will be extremely nice to have.]]>Apr 26th 2010 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/

If no one develops, this thing is going to die, and that is really tragic as it's by far one of the best phone OSs out there.]]>Apr 26th 2010 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/
It's a chicken or the egg argument really. It seems like Palm is trying to encourage developers, but you can really only lead a horse to water. It just seems like developers have the mentality that Palm is doomed or there aren't enough users to make developing apps worthwhile.]]>Apr 26th 2010 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/As a dev for palm who just posted his first app:
Current API's don't allow devs without cloud computing abilities to make apps that do much more than 2d games or basic productivity, etc. This was true until the advent of the PDK, and no PDK apps from regular devs are going on the catalog, yet. I for one look forward to the new APIs, especially the service, camera, microphone, and bluetooth APIs that will make it really easy for me to make some cutting edge apps. But yeah currently the only thing I've been able to do (and slightly due to a lack of skill) is pull down REST APIs or make 2d canvas games. Looking forward to the update.]]>Apr 26th 2010 3:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/Apr 26th 2010 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/

I really need a new phone, my cracked broken limited slow old iPhone 3G is giving up and Ive always liked palm as a company, and their software is awesome, and I know HTML and CSS so learning to develop for them would be doable for me and the free mobile hotspot app is great. But if my phone broke right now I would get a Droid Incredible because the software so rediculously better, and the Google Navigation and gmail integration.

It's been quite a long time since their last update, and these are the new "features" they're working on?

Pretty boring stuff here. Nothing exciting to look forward to for most people.]]>Apr 26th 2010 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/
??? Their last update came out a whole ~3 weeks ago. I remember because it was the last time I rebooted my Pre. Before that, it was ~2 weeks.

They are” circling the drain” because they made some poor business decisions with the release of the Pre, NOT because they don’t update the phone enough. These were their major mistakes:

1. They released a “flag ship” cell phone built with inferior materials at the same price. Apple, Motorola and HTC are all using quality materials (glass, aluminum, etc.) in their flag ship phone; you cannot release a phone hoping it will compete that’s made of cheap/thin plastic.

2. They release the Pre exclusively on Sprint. This was a HUGE mistake. Sprint DOES have some of the cheapest plans if you know how to manipulate their discounts, but their in-network coverage and service has them marked for death. They have been hemorrhaging subscribers for years.

3. When they had a chance to “redeem” themselves on the Verizon network, they did not release a new product with upgraded hardware. Instead, they recycled the same ole’ hardware and added some additional RAM. In this day and age of electronics, as soon as you release a product, you should start focusing on a new product.

4. They failed to release a development kit which developers need to make quality applications that interface with the phone’s hardware. This severely limited the phones capabilities without “hacking” it.

5. Their marketing was atrocious. Instead of showing off the phone’s capabilities, like Apple and Android, they used some weird market technique that had you wondering exactly what the creepy lady was trying to sell.]]>Apr 26th 2010 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/Apr 26th 2010 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/Apr 26th 2010 8:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/palm-developer-day-reveals-interesting-bits-on-the-webos-2010-ro/" Buy a HP slate with a Palm Pre plus and get a Touchstone FREE"
