WebOS is actually pretty nice to develop for, it just needs faster hardware with better battery life. Oh, and a way for developers to make money. It's a little rough that anyone can just shell into their phone and view all of your source code.
- glhaynes 17y agoIs Palm's hardware roughly comparable with average Android and Apple phones? (thus making it the software that's slow and power-hungry, not the hardware?) I've just heard so many people complain that the "everything is web" aspect of it makes it slow, but I don't know whether that's just a scapegoat or if it's really true.

- ZeroGravitas 17y agoI believe the Palm Pre, the Motorola Droid, the Nokia N900 (and in non-phone contexts the Open Pandora handheld and Beagleboard) all use the same TI OMAP3 board.
- tjpick 17y ago> a way for developers to make money I'm not terribly familiar with webOS/palm ecosystem, hence the question: what's the usual channel for selling a webOS app? all this cloud talk etc, does that mean you can chuck up a web site/app targeted at webOS and start charging for it?
