Ben & Dion Discuss webOS 2.0, Cross-Platform Development 10

by Dieter Bohn Thu, 14 Oct 2010 1:12 pm EDT

Palm's latest Developer Podcast features Ben & Dion discussing webOS 2.0, cross-platform development, and a few of the events that Palm Developer Relations has gone to and will go to soon.

There's nothing that we could glean that's new compared to what we have already seen from webOS 2.0, but they did mention one development opportunity that hadn't occurred to us. Namely: creating apps that are designed from the get-go to use multiple cards. Since webOS 2.0 brings Stacks to the table, it's less of a pain if an app utilizes multiple cards - it stops being a hassle and suddenly becomes a big opportunity. Palm promises that they will be bringing that feature to their Facebook app.

So developers, give it a watch. Oh, one more thing. Ben, Dion - while we can forgive you for forgetting that Scrubs has already done an excellent musical episode, we cannot forgive the Sprockets reference. Ever.

I hope they utilize multiple cards for the messaging app too. I would like a card for each conversation arranged together in a stack.

Do you think Ben and Dion will give us hardware accelerated UI? Now even Nokia N8 have it, how come we are two years behind apple?

hopefully this will lead to two cards being open side by side on the palm pad at the same time. Talk about multitasking.

I can see it now...."Too Many Stacks" error. Hope the Uberkernel will take care of this one too.

Ooh, multiple cards is looking like a nice feature now. I'll have to incorporate that into my app.
