This thing is going to BlOW the hell up!
Palm is coming out swinging! (And they have to.) They know it, and the rest of the world knows it! What better way to get some bad-ass apps on your devise than making it super easy to build for?

I'M SORRY PALM! 😢

I am glad that the brand is evolving. I just switched from BlackBerry to Palm a few months ago and I don't regret it. I was able to upgrade my Centro's software with ease and the software is user friendly.

Not just that. Palm is successfully consumerizing its product, which RIM has failed to do, despite the fact that RIM is obviously targeting consumers with most new devices. WebOS looks to be very intuitive. Honestly, if any platform is going to truly dethrone iPhone in terms of UI "WOW" factor, then it'll be WebOS.
