The rise and fall of webOS is an epic tale; webOS != Web OS on Dion Almaer's Blog

http://almaer.com/blog/the-rise-and-fall-of-webos-is-an-epic-tale-webos-web-os
in my heart I long for someone to come along with a true Web runtime that lets developers write to a standards-based multi-vendor platform that no one company owns. Democracy is messy, but the Open Web is worth it. Don’t read one article and think that it can’t be done.

Microsoft Borrows Palm's Advertising for Windows Phone 7 Series

http://www.everythingpre.com/blog/microsoft-borrows-palms-advertising-for-windows-phone-7-series/2010/03/18
"Did you see those great ads pushed out the other day from Palm? It looks like Microsoft, who forgot to borrow copy & paste or multi-tasking, has the same ad team or at least the same great idea. Now it’s time for Palm to creatively borrow a few elements from the Microsoft ad. How about adding a few different demographics and have the people in the ads carrying webOS phones."

The Official Palm Blog: Palm webOS games get Unreal

http://blog.palm.com/palm/2010/03/palm-webos-games-get-unreal-.html

State of the Art - Palm Provides Plenty of P’s With Improved Phones - NYTimes.com

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/21/technology/personaltech/21pogue.html?8dpc=&pagewanted=all
"But first: frankly, I can’t fathom why the Pre and the Pixi haven’t proved to be more popular. The polish and panache of both phones are phenomenal. Both phones feature Palm’s Web OS software, a fine, fluid operating system that, in many aspects, out-iPhones the iPhone. Among other pluses, the software multitasks, so you can put on Pandora radio as you process your e-mail. These are multitouch phones, too, meaning that two-finger gestures (like pinching to shrink a photo or Web page) work perfectly."

Palm Developer Network Blog » Project Ares Open Beta

http://pdnblog.palm.com/2009/12/project-ares-open-beta
"The heart of Ares is its visual drag-and-drop interface builder. The interface builder makes it simple to build complex layouts that adapt to orientation changes and support multiple webOS devices. The visual debugger in Ares goes far beyond the debugging tools previously available to webOS developers, and Ares’ code editor (based on the pioneering work of Mozilla’s Bespin delivers a great experience. Even in beta, we think you’ll find Ares to be the most complete and efficient environment for building webOS apps."

Aral Balkan · Maximizing your DROIT, or: why you should learn HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for mobile development.

"While Microsoft drifts aimlessly with Windows Mobile trying to play a fruitless game of cat and mouse with Apple, and while Google – the defender of all things open and web – invests in Java with Android, one company has come out of left field with a solid vision to embrace open web technologies for its mobile platform. That company is Palm and its platform is called WebOS. And you should stand up and take notice because it is one of the most important developments in the mobile world today."

Mojo Test Framework

http://developer.palm.com/index.php?id=1827&option=com_content&view=article
"Where Mojo.Test diverges from the usual xUnit-type framework is in support for testing components that depend on asynchronous callbacks. Mojo.Test provides a callback function for results that can be used at the end of a chain of any number of callbacks from the component under test. It also maintains a test timer, which will cause the failure of any test that doesn't report a result within a configurable time limit. "

Palm Pre Mojo SDK experiments at updates @ m.blog

http://mroth.info/blog/2009/07/08/palm-pre-mojo-sdk-experiments
"As a new Pre owner, I was curious to learn to code for the Palm WebOS SDK (Mojo). Whenever I try to learn a new technology, I try to build a functional test project. So… what to build for WebOS? Since the Pre’s web browser doesn’t currently support the W3C Geolocation spec used by Flickr Nearby, I figured a good “Hello World” might be an application to get the GPS coordinates from the Pre, and then load the appropriate Flickr page for that location."

jwz - Palm WebOS Dali Clock

http://jwz.livejournal.com/1057786.html
"Let's take a moment to ponder this version and the Alto version, and just how many wasted instructions, layers of abstraction, frameworks, toolkits and outright cruft have gotten between the algorithm and the frame buffer in the intervening twenty-seven years. This program makes my phone hot. Hot, I tell you. "

Tip Calculator

"This is my first application for the Palm Pre. It's a simple restaurant tip calculator. I wrote it because there wasn't one, and it seemed an easy way to learn how to write apps for this phone. "

Ars Reviews the Palm Pre, part 1: the BlackBerry killer - Ars Technica

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2009/06/ars-reviews-the-palm-pre-part-1-the-blackberry-killer.ars
I have an iPod Touch, so I have the media. I want the messaging. "In all, Palm put as much effort into making the webOS a first-rate messaging experience as Apple did into making the iPhone a first-rate media experience, and with just as much success. So if most of your communication consists of Twitter, email, SMS, and IM with the people in your Facebook network and/or Gmail contacts list, then the Pre will do for your personal messaging what your work BlackBerry does for your business messaging."
