Earlier, the Palm Pre was spotted running a YouTube app, and numerous screenshots from the webOS SDK emulator leaked out. Today, there is more good news for Pre enthusiasts, with Precentral spotting new icons for Documents to Go and Adobe Reader in the recent Palm Pre Podcast video. Other icons include a "Sprint" app (possibly for account management), Nascar, YouTube, and Sprint TV.
This is a strong indicator that the Pre will support Office 2007 docs (as noted by a Sprint insider) and have native PDF viewing, which the iPhone still lacks. In addition to the physical keyboard, could business functionality encourage mobile professionals to swap their iPhone for a Pre? Guess we will have to wait and see. What other apps would you like to see on the Pre?
New Mojo SDK screenshots have also surfaced via the Palm webOS Blog, including what the device will look like in Airplane Mode, as well as screenshots of the emulator loading screen and an unexpected kernel panic. Pictures after the break.
They also post a few notes on what to expect from the Mojo SDK Early Access Program:
- Once approved, you will get a username and password to access Palm's database and download the SDK.
- The Mojo SDK uses the "Coconut" font family
- Language support is unconfirmed, but currently there is no support for East Asian languages
To navigate between cards in the emulator:
- Home or End - get to the card view
- Left and Right Arrows - switch between cards
- Esc - return back to the program
- Home and drag the card up - close the program
