Boygeniusreport has posted some screenshots of Palm's webOS SDK in action. In them, they demonstrate that apps can be previewed in the web browser and that the SDK runs as a local server (most likely to process the specialized Javascript API calls to hook into webOS services).
For starters, everything is tested and previewed in the web browser (our shots are of the Mac version, so Safari), which bodes well for Palm’s “anyone who knows how to program in Javascrizzy can write an application”, line. We’re told that even in Safari, apps work just like they would on the actual device, and much like the iPhone Simulator, just in the web browser. This means scrolling and rubberband-man bouncing. Very cool and very sneaky. The SDK operates as a local server that serves up the web pages (applications), and you can hook into it from your local browser.
