When I first saw that Palm's Pre SDK was called Mojo, I couldn't beleive that will pick such a ridiculous name for their brand new platform. I mean come-on Palm, Mojo!?! Yeah we get it, like Austin Powers you got your Mojo back ... It will be more than fine for an internal codename, but for a public name? Not very classy ... Then, there is the whole thing about the framework been based on HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. How many mobile developers knows theses, or have time and will to learn them? Apple got a a lot of flak from the developers community from using Objective-C on its mobile platform, which only a small (tiny?) fraction of the developers (most of which live in the Mac platform ghetto) knows ... and it's a C superset!!! At the risk of sounding like an a$$, I'll like to said that web developer != software developer ... experience, education and skills are usualy very different. But maybe, that's what Palm is after? A platform where applications are quick and easy to hack and release?
