"Palm has released the first public beta of its innovative new development tool for webOS. Called Project Ares, this new webOS development environment runs completely in a desktop browser. Its aim is to simplify and lower the entry barrier for developing webOS applications by allowing developers to code, debug and build webOS apps within a standard web browser.The web-hosted development environment features an array of developer tools including a drag-and-drop interface builder, code editor, visual javascript debugger, log viewer, framework enhancements, single click deployment on a device or emulator and built in SVN/Mecurial version source control. With this set of features interested developers can simply log in and upload a project or build a new one from scratch. Projects can be easily be uploaded and downloaded for what Palm describes as a seamless "desktop/cloud workflow."Palm recommends that Ares users have the Mojo SDK v1.3.1 pre-installed, although it is not required.
Palm says Ares has been tested on:
    * OSX: Safari 4.0+, Firefox 3.5+
    * Windows: Chrome 3, 4, Firefox 3.5+, Safari 4.0+
    * Linux: Firefox 3.5+
Ares will not work on:
    * Chrome 4 beta for mac (Launch, other plugin-related features don't work)
    * Firefox 3.0.x
    * Internet Explorer" via palminfocenter.com
