Just once, I'd like to hear an electronics developer, in HP/Palm's situation, humbly concede, "We realize that we're entering a crowded market. We realize that we're entering late. However, our strategy is simple: ply the development community with incentives which, over time, should help us flesh out our platform into an engaging and useful product."
I've read little but boasting from HP about the new round of WebOS devices. Let's be honest: they have a very tough road ahead if they want to get any market share. They need all of the help and good will that they can get.
- Apocryphon 15y agoThey've been inching towards being flexible. Hopefully their statements about possibly licensing webOS with other manufacturers will bear fruit.
- Yhippa 15y agoI could care less about talk in any case. I've been following Windows Phone 7 as of late and it seems that they've made it easy to program for the platform by offering development tools, samples, and instruction. There is scant documentation or examples for Enyo. They changed app dev frameworks on all of their existing developers from Mojo to Enyo. That can't help either. I think they have a near Herculean task in trying to claw back market share. There seem to be a few evangelists who love the webOS platform and its devices but when it comes to consumers paying at the door that is in jeopardy.
- megaman821 15y agoEnyo docs are scant because Enyo is still a beta and the docs are under NDA, but they do exist and aren't that bad. There is still plenty of room for HP to improve their docs and more code samples though.
