Palm today announced the Plug-In Development Kit (PDK) for Palm WebOS. The PDK allows developers to use C and C++ in addition to the Web-based framework of the Palm OS. With the new PDK, developers get access to OpenGL ES 1.1 or 2.0, which will improve 3D performance in games and other apps, and the new kit should make it easier to port games from another platform to Palm's WebOS. The PDK works with Windows Visual Studio and Mac's Xcode development tools. This release follows on the heels of yesterday's announcement from Google releasing a similar development package for Google Android devices, including OpenGL ES 2.0 support.
