I didn't intend to brush it off, but the assumption in the article seems to be that the SDK is this playpen that Palm has belted developers into. Of course developers don't have full access to every internal API yet, but this is a real SDK that real, solid apps have been developed on. High performance apps are clearly not the focus of this SDK, and suggesting the SDK is inadequate because of this ignores the areas where the SDK shines. Perhaps I'll post something later about my favorite parts.

I look forward to it (no sarcasm intended at all), and looking forward to giving the SDK a whirl myself. If only there was a way to buy a device without the requisite contract... I sincerely hope Palm comes up with a SDK that gives much lower level access to the machine - and something more performant than JS. A lot of the iPhone's prowess comes from the fact that it can run some seriously beefy apps very quickly. Obj-C is no slouch when it comes to speed.
