I'd like to know, because, like Nigel said, we're all <i>really</i> fired up about the Pre, and I'd like to begin putting together some apps on a new platform. I'm pretty new at writing code and the like, but it was virtually impossible for the public to get their hands on the Palm OS SDK. And, now that Palm OS is being discontinued, I figure that a good time to start is when you've got a new platform. I just need to know whether it's a block of usable codes & webOS GUI sprites or a software program that's designed to make programming easier. If it's just code, images, and a manual, that's no problem for me. I've got web development tools... I just want to know what I need to utilize this SDK. Also, I agree with Nigel when I say that the iPhone NDA was stupid. Apple just doesn't get it when it comes to open development or online community. Open talk about this SDK will only make the product better. The Pre is for the user; users should be able to help develop their smartphone. That's just my take on it. I've got really big hopes for Palm webOS. This thing's got potential; let's make it everything it <i>can</i> be.

There's nothing worse than paying for something only to not be able to download it as the provider's servers are hammered. 3) Please make a beta SDK available soon. We're all fired up over the Pre, but if we don't get an SDK soon we're just going to shift our attention to the next 'hot' platform (or sticking with the one that we're actually releasing apps on, now) and you'll have missed the boat.

All of the applications I would develop would be for offline usage (with no cloud components) and having the source code available for all to see would basically be forcing me to be open source if I want to code for the webOS, something that's just not practical from a business point of view.

It's very important to me, particularly regarding the Calendar and Contacts applications. I don't want to lose my lengthy history in the calendar, or have to re-enter hundreds of contacts, none of which I have in Outlook. What’s the word on backwards compatability with Palm OS?

So, what is the size (in pixels) of this status bar? Same question for notifications bar? Do we have the 480x320px available when the palm is in an hoizontale position (as suggested by the CES demonstration videos). We need to know the size of "Card" (in px) to create our applications. - Are Animated GIF pictures supported ? And PNG pictures with transparency? - You have shown a bit of code on the "Local Storage" which is specific to the palm pre (db = Mojo.Depot (...)). It seems to be similar to window.globalStorage from FireFox, but you use, for the webinar, the Safari browser, that is compatible with the HTML5 (with an API to handle SQL in JavaScript). Please tell us which browser and API for data storage, must be used to develop our applications until the SDK is released ?
