After a brief private testing period, Palm’s interesting Ares software development package has made its way into a public beta phase. Breaking tradition from Mojo — Palm’s other webOS SDK — the big news with Ares is that the dev environment is fully web-based with no additional tools needed for apps to get whipped into reality. Not only does that make getting started a breeze (theoretically, anyway), but Palm thinks that this is the way to bring mobile development to a whole new category of folks who may not come from traditional dev backgrounds — they want to pull in web geeks who’ve got the ideas and design experience but not necessarily the hardcore coding background that you’d normally need to take the next Air Hockey to production. Grab that sucker now and let us know what you come up with, alright? We’ll split the profits 60 / 40.
