However, just for the sake of discussion, what do you reckon might happen if Palm builds their WebOS on top of Android? Could it be possible?

It's like building a racecar that can only be driven by old ladies with vision problems. It might be impressive in a way, but it's not the correct strategy to win races because none of the experienced drivers can operate it.
Not that web developers are old ladies or anything, but they're just not the people who are going to make the next great handheld app. Their skills are tuned for a different kind of experience completely.

Some application developers will love working in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Some web *SITE* developers will move their programming skills to writing applications. Web technologies are the most popular in the world, both in terms of users and developers, so both groups are potentially huge.
Palm's strategy is fine, and makes the most sense for a small competitor. #aressdk

Also, not to be a whiny bitch, but with the CMD+Shift+4 trick for capturing windows, if you tap the spacebar after the crosshair comes up, it puts you into a window capture mode, where it'll screencap just the window you highlight, plus its shadow. Makes it really nice looking for embedding into guides like these, as it leaves out the border of stuff around the window :)

I don't see how this is easier than jailbreaking. Purplera1n couldn't get any easier when it was available. Redsn0w is also extremely easy. You turn off your phone, run Redsn0w, and hold the power and home buttons down when it prompts you to do so.
This looks a little more complicated than iPhone jailbreaking.
"and the benefits are much, much greater."
How so? Just wondering. Serious question.

Remember when Apple didn't have flash with their web browser? No outrage at PALM for not having flash or video or many other things.
Also, companies that have game consoles have a closed platform, but it's not okay for Apple to have one.

Similarly, Skype allows users to pay for data and then make unlimited calls. The technology may be different, but again, the end result is the same.

I'm kinda excited about this. If the framework isn't too difficult to learn, I may take it upon myself to make a Pre game. But I won't set my goals too high.

They do realize there are Pre owners now on their THIRD Pre right?

The only reason I clicked on this story was because I thought it said "Palin's Working on the Pre's Gaming Problem" and I thought "That can't be right!"

The entire job description on Palm's site is: "design, implement, debug, and optimize frameworks for game development and then quit before the job is done" so I think they're looking for her.

As a fun fact, the SDK is Windows only (Virtual Box is required on Linux and MacOS X)
