Full FeedPalm webOS app store dubbed App Catalog, SDK out to select partners
By now you’ve likely heard that Palm has announced the phone that may just bring their company back to life, the Palm Pre - which we got some good hands on time with. The company finally released their next-gen operating system as well, named webOS. Palm’s developer site has just revealed the site’s app store will be called App Catalog. The idea of having an mobile marketplace took off when Apple announced their App Store for the iPhone / iPod touch, and was followed by RIM’s Blackberry and Google’s Android this past year.
Palm’s SDK - Mojo - has apparently been sent out to select partners that are quickly preparing for the launch of the Pre, and will likely be distributed to the rest of the development community just prior to the release of the phone. As the company mentioned in their press conference yesterday, the now named “Palm Mojo Application Framework” will based on HTML5, CSS, and Javascript, which makes web developers like myself jump for joy. Keep up with webOS updates on the company’s new developer blog.

Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
I’m excited to see the kind of apps that the Palm development community makes. The numerous applications were always Palm’s strength. (Back when they used to have a strength.)

Yep—most of us here at Gadgetell are excited at the prospect of Palm getting their act together. We’ll have to wait and see if they can 1) keep the development community engaged and enthused, 2) market the hell out of the Pre and webOS, and 3) not be afraid to spend bundles of cash to compete with Apple.

on January 11, 2009 at 08:38 AM - LINKAs for what you were saying about keeping the development community engaged, I’m pretty sure there are no worries. With the framework based on HTML5, CSS and JavaScript every not-so-experienced web developer could try developing an app.
Thanks for the correction, GMZ. You are correct, it is Catalog. I’ve updated the post to reflect the change.
