Palm releases webOS 2.0 SDK

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - August 31, 2010


We are all expecting WebOS 2.0 to be released this year and Palm is definitely heading in that direction. The company has put out a limited release of the WebOS 2.0 SDK today. That means developers can play with the new features coming down the pike for WebOS 2.0.

Palm has released a few details of some new features coming to WebOS 2.0:

  • Stacks - the new way that Palm's cards work together.

  • Just Type - a new refresh of Universal Search.

  • Exibition - developers will have access to create custom functions in their apps when the phone is on the Touchstone charger.

  • Synergy - developers will have more access to Synergy to create custom functions in their apps.

  • HTML5 and Javascript support - major improvements.

  • Hybrid PDK/SDK apps will be fully supported

    All of this is great news for WebOS 2.0 but lets hope that Palm releases some really great hardware to match. Unless Palm drops a high end phone, they're dead. WebOS is the slickest mobile OS out there, but without hardware to match it just isn't going anywhere.
