in News on January 14, 2009 at 1:19 pm PT

Lots of chatter this past week about the Palm Pre and the Web OS on which it runs–most of it overwhelmingly positive, if not euphoric. Clearly, Palm is on the mend.

When the iPhone was released in June, many developers were disappointed by the absence of an SDK for writing third-party applications on day one.
