Palm Shows Ares WebOS Development Tool
Techtree News Staff, Nov 09, 2009 1120 hrs ISTPreparing itself for times when RIA would be usable on WebOS?
Palm WebOS got a lot of appreciation by the Pre users and also introduced the Mojo SDK for boosting app development. The next step by Palm is a web-based development environment dubbed Ares. Meant for WebOS, this Ares development tool would be available by the end of this year.
Palm gave a public demonstration of Ares at the Open Mobile Summit conference in San Francisco. Ares has been designed to put various components in JavaScript to make apps for WebOS based Palm Pre and Pixi.
Ares being web-based development interface, Palm has added drag-and-drop feature for faster development. The Ares environment would include debugging and libraries-APIs sharing function. Of course the web interface will have phone emulator for the developers to check and see how the app looks like.
Michael Abbott, senior vice president of application software and services at Palm Ares, is expected to work on variety of web browsers including Safari and Firefox. However, it's unlikely that the Ares environment will work over Internet Explorer.
Palm is part of the tough competition ground that has Apple iPhone, Google Android, Research in Motion BlackBerry, Symbian and other mobile platforms. By offering web-based development interface, Palm is possibly taking steps ahead of time when Rich Internet Applications would be usable on WebOS.
