Palm Pre

Upon carefully watching Palm’s keynote introducing the Pre at CES, I’ve been thinking about nothing but that little toy.

I’m quite bummed by the lack of information about the SDK.
The emphasis has been placed on the fact that millions of coders (if we can really address HTML/CSS/JS programmers that way) will be able to program for the webOS and Mojo.

Of course I’m wondering how much will be possible using those techniques and languages.
Will that mean you won’t have graphic acceleration for your games?
What if a developer wants to port a graphic app that uses double-buffering?
How is a programmer going to deal with sound?

That’s still all to be seen.
We can’t but patiently wait.
I’ll stick to my wonderful E71 for now, and keep using iPhone as a backup device and to play with.

For a more thorough examination I’d like to link to Rui Carmo’s take on the device.
I always treasure his opinions.
