Palm's Ares IDE builds on bespin (opens in new tab)

I think people are just very skeptical about Palm's future. They've been slow to fix some of WebOS's biggest shortcomings and for some odd reason they decided to release a slower more limited WebOS device out before bringing the Pre to GSM or Verizon. What Palm really needs is a higher end WebOS device -- something with more than 8GB of non-expandable storage and perhaps a larger touchscreen model with no physical keyboard. At that point they'd be in good shape to compete with Android & iPhone. Otherwise they're just another "also ran"

I like everything they're doing; I just don't trust their capability to win enough market share to make developing on their platform meaningful. Plus, I don't own one so I wouldn't dogfood.

I'm excited by the ideas and approach of Palm, but their phone bores me. When I hold it I don't feel like I'm holding something substantial -- a sensation the iPhone does give me.

Nobody runs WebOS.
