Palm’s new next generation operating system, Palm webOS, takes the power of Windows Mobile and combines it with the simplicity of a web browser. Palm has just privately prereleased the Mojo SDK, which is based on the HTML5 and JavaScript standards that most web developers are already familiar with.
Mojo will enable you to:
*Build applications with gesture-based navigation, transitions, and scroll * Use the WebOS notification system to alert users without interrupting them
*Leverage the local storage capabilities of HTML5 so that data is available even when users are offline
*Use a JSON-based message bus to tap into a wide range of device services, including contacts, calendars, and location
Besides the Palm Mojo Application Framework, the SDK will include sample code, documentation, and development tools. An Eclipse-based IDE is included, and you will also be able to use your choice of tools to build WebOS applications. The Mojo SDK is currently in private prerelease, and will be available later this year as a free download from the Palm Developer Network.
