Title: AGS for Palm Pre can be coming soon
Post by: Joseph DiPerla on Fri 09/04/2010 15:26:53
First off, I love my Palm Pre. Of all the phones I have ever owned (Android, iPhone, Windows Mobile, Symbian OS) it is absolutely the best smartphone. I have never been amazed at its ingenuity, its simplicity and the power it has as an OS. Having said that...

The Palm Pre is a linux based phone. And it actually allows developers to develop in c/C++, Javascript, html5 and css to develop apps. It already has precompiled libraries as support for programming such as OpenGL and SDL. And of course any other cross-platform library can be compiled for it to work. Basically, what one of the sdk/pdk developers for Palm told me was that if a library works on Linux, it will work on the Pre.

Anyway, the point of this post is that they have an app that runs actual linux apps. What does this mean? It means that AGS for Linux should soon be working on the Palm Pre. Yay!
