“Project Ares is the first mobile development environment hosted entirely in a browser, lowering the barriers for web developers to jump into mobile development.”

This is certainly an interesting idea for mobile app development.  Will be interested to see if Apple or Google responds with a similar idea down the road.

“Like webOS, Project Ares embodies Palm’s belief that the future of mobile will be built on the web. Project Ares aims to enable a next-generation mobile development workflow, in which developers move quickly and seamlessly from editing in a browser, to debugging on a device, to selling applications in Palm’s App Catalog or on the web.”

“Project Ares is now available to all developers as a public beta. We invite you to join us in Project Ares – try it out, build apps, and give us your feedback as we work to make the Ares vision a reality.”
