“How Apple centric is the new Palm team? Well, Chris McKillop is director of Software at Palm. He worked on the iPhone team (showed me pictures of me and my son buying iPhones at the Palo Alto store). One of the PR people at Palm did PR at Apple. Jonathan Rubinstein, who runs the Palm Pre team and led off the announcement, was a key person in development of the iPod and lots of people followed him from Apple to Palm, I heard from several people today.”

“Perhaps the part our anonymous contact was most excited about was Palm’s extensive use of open standards throughout the entire development stack. This is yet another point where Palm’s development model appears to be the antithesis of Apple’s iPhone model. Palm’s inclusion of the Mojo MVC framework is one of the developer’s favorite features—perhaps even better is that it’s optional and you can build your own from scratch if you prefer. According to our contact, the Mojo framework is extremely nice, well thought out, and significantly improves the speed and efficiency of developing mobile applications on the prė.”

- The pre’s got Mojo: a developer speaks about Palm’s new SDK The more I read about the Palm Pre the more I’m convinced that Palm pulled out the stops for this one. woot. 2009 is gonna be a good year for the continued emergence of the mobile platform. RIM what you got?!
