Another in a series of webOS interviews, PDA-247 asks Palm developer, iambic, about their thoughts on the new platform. In the interview, Adriano Chiaretta from iambic expresses their disappointment regarding backwards compatibility, but offers an optimistic view on the potential of the system:
Palm appears to have put together a formidable solution (especially with its touch optimization and the focus on ensuring user-friendliness) that should stand up nicely to the iPhone. In fact, it could truly be the strongest competitor to the iPhone yet.
They also went on to say that they plan on developing for the Pre. "we are...looking forward to getting our hands on the SDK", Chiaretta said.
When asked if Palm is back in the game, he said:
If they can rally the army of Palm OS developers to create for this new platform AND provide an experience that exceeds how developers are being dealt with for other platforms, they could truly be back.
iambic, founded in 1994 and headquartered in San Jose, CA, has an award-winning product line including products for the Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Palm, and Windows Mobile.
We look forward to hearing more thoughts from the established developers, and hopefully from some new developers as well.
