Palm also allows you root access on your device so that you can do whatever you want with it. With the new PDK you can use C/C++ (or any language that compiles with the same API) to develop your app and use SDL and OpenGL. With Verizon's latest deal you can get a Pre Plus for $50 and the wireless hotspot capability for free. The better development policies make WebOS a better development platform and the Verizon deal makes it a great cell phone.
- Zev 17y agoWith the new PDK you can use C/C++ (or any language that compiles with the same API) to develop your app and use SDL and OpenGL. Which is awesome, if you're making a game. If you want to make any other kind of application with a Mojo UI and a C/C++ backend, you're still out of luck. Or if you want to access the microphone or camera directly, you're out of luck, regardless of if you use the SDK or PDK. Or… for a lot of other small things, that do make a difference. Don't get me wrong; I have a Palm Pre with Verizon and love it. But, as far as their SDK and PDK goes, there is a long way to go. Especially if they're playing catch-up with Apple and Cocoa Touch.
