Did anyone notice that this emulator is running on a Mac?

Now that's funny!

Gah just beat me to it... two interesting things I noticed, both in the launcher ( PreThinking - webOS early SDK - picture 17.png ) . One is that they split the note app into tasks and memos, two seperate apps. The other is the moon icon, which I haven't seen before. Maybe an alarm app? Weather? Also, the auto-complete for typing the URLs in the browser looks sweet!

Damn, nobody has leaked out a torrent of the SDK or anything yet?

**tattoonick** · 04/29/2009, 12:49 AM

Actually, it's not really that funny. It's smart. Provide a platform for all users to program on.

Mac's are nice machines, I use one, but I"m not an Apple fan boy. I have a Blackberry after holding onto my Treos for as long as I could.

The O'Reilly webOS book is written using Mac as the programming platform.

Oh this is fantastic, I actually wanted to see that screen. This is very good for me and people will many calendars.

Maybe "ironic" would have been a better choice of words? Because it really is.

exactly what i was thinking when i saw it on engadget! How is it possible that people posted screenshots, but couldn't post the SDK. I'm pretty sure either way they broke the NDA. Might as well go all out and post the torrent.

What's up with the battery charging and at 89%? Is that some sort of Easter Egg, or perhaps the SDK creators thought they'd just use the batter meter of the computer running the emulator?

The SDK probably lets you modify certain attributes in the OS to test situations, like an app that needs to check battery percentage for some sort of power-saving feature.

not sure if this was mentioned anywhere but it looks like google maps has street view.

Not according to Modular.

That's not street view, that's the satellite images. Street view is when they drive down the street in vans and take pictures from every angle so that you can get 360-degree images from any point on that street.

I gotta concur on this just looks like Satellite View to me. I really hope they add street view with the direction detection support thing that G1 has.

I was unaware of the difference. Thanks for the correction.

I liked how the on/off buttons looked like little switches in the settings screen. Just a nice UI touch, if you ask me. It's unique and it goes along with the hardware ringer switch.

Which screen did you find useful for calendars?
