TheStandard.com published a report on the initial reactions to the Mojo developers kit that Palm announced a few weeks ago. The feedback is good. Developers are claiming that Palm has made it incredibly easy to access the best features and functions of webOS and the Palm Pre. They’ve addressed the issues associated with multi-tasking, such as memory usage and other reasons that Apple cites as reason for their restriction of the feature.

These restrictions are basically non-existent on webOS. Palm is using HTML and Javascript, two coding languages that nearly every developer has been using for years, so they already have an army of coding experts at their disposal. API’s are easy to access and incorporate into applications, and the results are impressive. Developers have been able to push out final versions of applications in as little as a few weeks. FlightView was one of those, where the company was able to develop the application in a short period of time thanks to the ease of webOS.
Developers are also making use of Synergy in new ways, and developers are pleased with the outcomes. “What’s exciting about Synergy is that today I have to think about where to go to get all these bits of information,” a developer says. “What Palm has done is unified all this from the perspective of the user experience, by understanding there are certain kinds of online systems that share common semantics, which we can merge at the UI layer.”
