Palm opens developer program, adds plug-in support
,----[ Quote ]
| The number of applications available for
| webOS is much smaller than for the iPhone or
| Google's Android OS. To close this gap, Palm
| will also open up its application
| distribution channel to developers and Web
| sites, giving them access to detailed
| information about applications and
| statistics, such as the number of downloads.
| This will allow them to build their own
| application directories and application
| ranking mechanisms, Mitic said.

Palm Pre Plus First Hands-On: Super-Fast, Button Removal Is No Problem
,----[ Quote ]
| It's speedier, thanks to the double RAM
| that's been added, and noticeably easier
| flipping between apps and programs. The
| screen is responsive, but no more
| responsive than it was before. All in all,
| it's the same Pre experience you've had
| before, just faster. Oh, and guess you'll
| have to fork out for a TouchStone now.

webOS DOOM Paving Way For Future SDL Ports
,----[ Quote ]
| Since its initial release less than two days
| ago, development has proceeded apace on the
| webOS port of classic FPS DOOM. The latest
| news, however, has implications beyond just
| this particular port itself. For starters, the
| game no longer requires any fooling around in
| the Terminal to get it started: you can now
| load it from an icon in your launcher, just
| like any other app. You can also fire up
| multiple instances of the game in multiple
| cards - possibly useless in of itself, but
| it's great for that geek cool factor.
