Signs of Palm Mojo

Jan 11, 2009

Update – It turns out Blast Radius--an interactive agency that worked on the Palm web site--also has an in-house toolkit called Mojo. The toolkit described below is the Blast Radius tookit and doesn’t seem to be related to webOS.

The new Palm Pre will be the first phone to use Palm’s new webOS operating system and the Palm Mojo framework. Apparently the SDK is in private beta at the moment, and there’s not a whole lot of information on Palm’s developer site. However, it looks like Palm has rolled out parts of Mojo on their site. If you visit the Palm Pre CES launch video page at Palm.com, and check out the source, you’ll notice they’re already including mojo.js:

    <!-- GLOBAL JAVASCRIPT -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/extlib/dojo/dojo.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/dist/extlib.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/dist/mojo.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/palm-config.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/palm/global.js"></script>

I wonder if it’s a coincidence Palm also uses Dojo? Scanning the mojo.js file, here’s a list of mojo mentions:
