This time we have some nice new screenshots of WebOS. This batch of screens leaked by a PalmPre developer didn’t actually orginate on a real Pre – they were screen grabbed from the emulator that developers use to test their code.

The pictures show off what the Palm Pre looks like during a call, a one-touch panel for controlling wifi, toggling Airplane Mode, a setup page for Facebook, Google Mail and Microsoft Exchange (Synergy integration).the native Palm Pre Google Maps app and also some general setting pages.

The SDK will be made available to developers that the company will be cherry-picking from today and this should help get the number of 3rd party applications up for the launch of the Palm Pre

The application will be utilize the mass storage mode of the device to allow for drag-and-drop of PRCs, though according to the press release, the emulator "won’t be able to leverage core webOS functionality," meaning that not all application will work 100%.  This will most likely effect applications that require deeper access into the phone.

The following quick list of questions and answers has also been produced:

• They would not comment on the release date for the SDK or the Pre.
• They expect to see a fair amount of games on the platform. Right now, web-based games will be most suitable; other games (that need deeper access to the hardware) will come later.
• When asked if "connected" apps will run when no connection is available, they should. Apps are designed with storage functions so even web apps will have storage functions and be able to cache and load data, rather than just displaying a blank page.
• Headless apps are not limited other than the fact that they have no associated card. They operate in the dashboard panel, and technically can be as functional as a card app.
• The app catalog was mostly under wraps, but will be the primary way to get apps at launch.
• The ability to build apps will not be operating-system specific. The tools in the Mojo SDK will be supported on Mac, Linux and Windows.
• Performance is of primary concern, and once the device has been released, performance should be just as good as the pre-release demos from CES and the MWC.
• They are not commenting on how fullscreen will be implemented in 3rd party apps (currently the pic viewer and video player will support this feature), but they stated it was important, and will be looked into. They noted that window sizing will be handled at the system level.
