webOS Development

So I've picked up the Mojo SDK and have been having some fun developing for the Palm Pre. What a cool device this is. I have two apps now, GroceryList and QuickPass.

Quick Pass

Brian,
Do you have an idea of when Quick Pass WILL be available? Are you waiting on Palm? I've done quite a bit of research and this seems to be the right choice for me.
Thanks,
Marchell

Bought and tried to download Grocery list but it didnt

Hello,
I bought and tried downloading Grocery List, but it didnt work (the download). However I was charged by your company for it. Please help me or refund my money back.

Thank you,
Heather

Send an email...

Heather,
Please send an email to entreesdujour at gmail com and we'll figure out what's going on. In general, the whole purchase, download, install steps are done by the Palm App Catalog, so after getting some details from you, I might need to work with them to solve the problem.

If you are having trouble installing GroceryList, I bet you're having trouble with other apps in the app catalog as well.

Sorry for the trouble,
Brian

quickpass

Sorry, but no, it's not

Sorry, but no, it's not ready yet.

Including GroceryList in Sprint press release

Hi Brian,
Sprint would like to include GroceryList in a press release we're issuing Dec. 28 highlighting apps that can help customers stick to several popular New Year's resolutions. We'd like to include the following description of GroceryList in a section on eating healthy:
• GroceryList can help customers organize their shopping lists to remind themselves to purchase healthy foods. Users can create a list of items and check them off as they pick them up. This app, available to Palm Pre and Palm Pixi users, even keeps a history of what has been purchased to avoid duplicates.
Please let me know by COB Monday, Dec. 21, if we have your approval to include this language in our press release. Thank you!

Communications Manager - Sprint

Palm WebOS Java

Hello! I'm not a developer, but I'm a Palm Pre user who would be very interested in a WebOS app that would allow installation of .jad/.jar files and allow java files to run on the Pre. . . . I ask having no idea if it's technically possible. Thanks!

Nope...

At this time, it is not possible. WebOS uses javascript for all applications. At some point in the future, they are opening up their API's for native code. Then, it may be possible, but someone will have to port a JVM to run natively on Palm webOS.
