It's no secret that Palm's been taking it niiiice 'n slow with their app strategy, whatever it is. Here's their next baby step: Ares, a browser-based, drag-and-drop development toolkit for making simple apps. It's a marginally good idea!

WebOS 1.2(.1) is here, and yes: It broke homebrew. Amazingly, it only took devs about two days to bounce back. Here's how to bring hundreds of free apps, tweaks and themes to your Pre, without flashing your firmware.

According to sources inside the company, Palm is ready to cash in on the iPhone's Google Voice rejection nightmare with a full app for the Pre. According to sources within the company, Google has no idea that this is happening.

Softening the blow that Apple struck yesterday, Palm has released its Mojo SDK for anybody to download. They'll start taking app submissions for the App Catalog from all developers in the fall.

Palm's Mojo devkit has leaked to the web ahead of schedule—they had announced it would arrive in late summer, and instead developers are treated to the SDK right now.

One of the biggest gripes people have with Palm's Mojo SDK is that it won't give developers full access to the OS, potentially curtailing 3D gaming. Now, with WebOS leaked and dissected, homebrewers are picking up the slack.

Feel like developing crazy $1 programs for the Palm Pre, and one day starring in Gizmodo's weekly Pre app roundup? Start early by applying for the Mojo SDK at the Palm dev site NOW.
