Still, it should not be that difficult to port some basic stuff on it, depending on the underlying blocks of course.

Errr... WebOS applications are technically something like self-contained web pages. No glibc, sdl/gtk/qt or somesuch (that's supposed to be the appeal - you just have to know web technologies and you're good to go). Here's how a hello world 'app' looks in WebOS

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"

        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">



<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">

<head>

        <title>Hello, world title!</title>

        

        <!-- Load the Mojo Framework -->

        <script src="/usr/palm/frameworks/mojo/mojo.js" type="text/javascript" x-mojo-version="1"></script>

</head>



<body>



        <!-- Make a fancy Pre-looking header -->

        <div class="palm-page-header">

                <div class="palm-page-header-wrapper">

                        <div class="title">

                                My First webOS App!

                        </div>

                </div>                

        </div>

        

        <!-- Make a fancy Pre-looking button -->

        <button class="palm-button" id="my-awesome-button">I'm an awesome button!</button>

        

        <!-- Just some text -->

        <div id="content">

                Hello, world!<br/>

                <img src="icon.png"/>

        </div>

        

        <!-- Footer -->

        <div id="app-footer">
