Quick thoughts on webOS:
  • Was I right or was I right about the JavaScript presentation layer running over Java middleware? I love this architecture. If/when Palm enables developers to write services in the device middleware the webOS ecosystem will really take off.
  • By hitching its wagon to the rising HTML 5 star Palm is going to have less trouble supporting gaming and high-performance graphics than many expect.
  • I still haven't bought a Pre because the Sprint coverage near my house is so spotty. Not to worry: I put the house on the market :-)
  • I'm more certain than ever that webOS will soon have a desktop story to tell. I don't have the usual evidence to offer for this, just feel the stars aligning that way.
  • I'd have a lot more to say about this platform were it not for a legal problem than I cannot discuss. I can't even develop on webOS right now, which is supremely frustrating to me.
