First Look At Palm's Mojo SDK

Posted by timothy on from the commodity-bits-making-a-new-whole dept.

snydeq writes "Peter Wayner puts Palm's Mojo SDK through its paces and finds the general outline of the system solid and usable despite 'numerous rough edges and dark, undocumented corners.' The main draw, of course, is the reliance on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which lower the barriers to entry, though with Mojo, HTML and JavaScript do at times work against each other, with JavaScript occasionally 'wiping out anything you do with HTML.' But more than anything, Wayner sees the current version of Mojo as 'merely the start of access to a very fertile platform. 'Developers are actively digging into the Linux foundations of the Pre and finding they can build tools that work with the raw guts of the machine. Some are talking about writing Java services underneath,' Wayner writes, pointing to sites such as PalmOpenSource.com and PreCentral.net that are cataloging dozens of apps that come complete with the source code. 'I know people are doing similar things with the iPhone — such as selling the source to people who must install it themselves — but the entire scene emerging around Palm has a much more organic and creative vibe. It's not getting hung up on parsing and reparsing the App Store rules.'"

    Panties Stink!
    They really, really stink!
    Sometimes they're red, sometimes they're green,
    Sometimes they're white or black or pink
    Sometimes they're satin, sometimes they're lace
    Sometimes they're cotton and soak up stains
    But at the end of the day, it really makes you think
    Wooooooo-wheeeee! Panties stink!

    Sometimes they're on the bathroom floor
    Your girlfriend- what a whore!
    Sometimes they're warm and wet and raw
    From beneath the skirt of your mother-in-law
    Brownish stains from daily wear
    A gusset full of pubic hair
    Just make sure your nose is ready
    For the tang of a sweat-soaked wedgie
    In your hand a pair of drawers
    With a funky feminine discharge
    Give your nose a rest, fix yourself a drink
    cause wooooooo-wheeeeeee! panties stink!
