So if your the person who would love to make some gnarly iPhone apps but don’t have the knowledge to do so, well then its time to migrate to the Palm Pre/Pixi. Palm is now providing an in-browser SDK called the Ares pitch. Basically, you don’t need to download anything, just need to load the browser and you can build your whole app on the web.

Probably the coolest thing, is that you don’t need to have massive amounts of coding knowledge to do this. A lot of it reminds me of Visual Basic. You can click and drag all of the different things such as buttons, text boxes, and check boxes onto the model of the Palm. Then, you must do some coding to tell the buttons to do something when you click them but there are some tutorials on the Ares site to help you with that.

All-in-all, I think this will give many people the chance to develop apps when they usually couldn’t. Or for people like me, who don’t own a Mac so they can’t develop iPhone apps. I think I might give this a try for myself. If you try this too, leave some comments on how its going for you in terms of simplicity or what you are designing.
