Re: [xmlvm-users] Palm Pre / WebOS

[Sascha H. <sa...@xm...>]

Well, the reason I started with Pre in the first place, is because XMLVM
already has quite a mature JavaScript Output library. This is due of the
history of the project, which has its origins in cross-compiling
AWT/SWT/Swing Apps to the Web. So to push this output in shape to fit it on
the Pre, is quite straightforward. Only (and most important) piece missing
is of course the compat lib.

Another reason we started working on it, is because we thought the Pre might
really catch on, because it looked promising and WebOS is really nice. But
reality has proven us wrong.
