I'm trying to make some design decisions for my application and don't know what's possible on the device. E.g., can a web link or SMS open an application? Does the GPS call return a location even when the signal is lost (i.e., last location, or approximate from WiFi)? What's available with respect to push updates? Is the HTML5 "web sockets" protocol supported, or do we have to resort to a streaming AJAX hack? The rough cuts documentation hasn't gotten anywhere near this. A basic outline of the APIs would be more than sufficient to keep things moving along in the design phase. Many coders are rather accustomed to "rough" documentation -- it can't be any worse than the motherboard manuals in the early 90's.</p>ScottWed, 06 May 2009 20:20:08 -0000http://pdnblog.palm.com/2009/04/chapters-four-and-five-of-developing-applications-in-javascript-using-the-palm-mojo%e2%84%a2-framework-now-available/#comment-9014342<p>@luke: Well I've got my mac and the iphone SDK. Sorry I can't wait any longer. I'll be back though to check out how it's going, but it's iPhone for the next six months for me.</p><p>I sent a request to PDN (via e-mail) late last week requesting an update on the early access program, but I haven't heard anything back. I'll admit to checking out the iPhone SDKs, having picked up an iPod Touch. That said, the the 'Touch generally encourages me to hold out for the Prē -- the lack of a real keyboard is terribly frustrating. The lack of multitasking is even more-so. The level of access you get to the device, however, is very nice, which makes me wonder even more about what's in the Mojo SDK.</p><p>Then again, being locked into a Sprint contract for a few more months is also an incentive to stick with the vaporous Prē.</p><p> -Scott</p>ScottTue, 05 May 2009 11:09:13 -0000http://pdnblog.palm.com/2009/04/chapter-three-of-developing-applications-in-javascript-using-the-palm-mojo%e2%84%a2-framework-now-available/#comment-8665549<p>When is the rest of the book scheduled for release? In lieu of access to the SDK, this is all most of us have to go on. And any word on opening up the SDK distribution a bit more?</p>ScottFri, 24 Apr 2009 16:09:08 -0000
