WebOs Update Coming Soon

After the acquisition by HP, Palm came up with their first big announcement. Palm is informing its developers that a major webOS update is coming soon and they should be ready to test their Apps with the new OS. Pretty welcome news after months of not so “happening” months over webOs. Yes we can expect decent amount of changes and upgrades . Check out the mail being sent to developers below.

webOS™ Update Coming Soon – Prepare to Test Your Apps

The next version of webOS is coming soon.

You will receive an email alert in early May announcing the availability of an SDK release candidate. Please be prepared to begin testing your apps right away.

Because the scope of the changes in this update is limited, we won’t be going through a full SDK beta cycle:

* You will have approximately one week to report show-stopper bugs in webOS before it is released to carriers.
* Once the build has been released to carriers, you will have another 2-3 weeks to address app-level bugs before the update lands on consumer devices.

It is especially important to test PDK apps against this release candidate. Developers of non-PDK apps should also test their apps to catch any unanticipated issues.
