Some webOS PDK apps still having trouble in Sprint’s 1.4.5 release
Palm changed some system permissions in PDK -powered apps with the release of webOS 1.4.5 to prevent third-party apps from writing to the /media/internal partition of the phone's storage, which is all well and good -- except for the fact that a number of existing apps use it, which means they're unable to save data post-upgrade. Amazingly, Palm went ahead with the first US rollout on Sprint a month later anyhow, even though not all apps are kosher with the change yet. Good thing the dev community is all over it, then, right?

Palm’s webOS PDK beta adds Pixi native development, PDK’d apps will hit the Catalog mid year
We just sat down with Palm here at GDC and fished out a few more details on the PDK beta front . Firstly, and most interestingly, Palm has confirmed that the PDK now works on all of its handsets (instead of just the Pre and Pre Plus), which means Pixi buyers can stop hating themselves pretty soon

Palm suddenly means business with games, heading to GDC this year
That was a quick turnaround, wasn't it? Palm wasted no time in retailing 3D games that are as visually engaging as the best the iPhone has to offer just as soon as it made the big announcement back at CES, and now it's taking things to the next level by heading out to GDC in San Francisco this March.
