litl webbook with big news

We announced some really exciting news this morning!

In a few short weeks, litl will be releasing our first-ever software development kit (SDK). The SDK — a set of tools for software developers — will enable developers outside of our team to create their own custom applications for the litl webbook. Better yet, the SDK will fully support Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1, the newest and most powerful version of this popular web platform. Developers can learn more at our resources website and then attend the SDK's official launch on May 14.

If you're not a developer, why is this news important to you?

The litl webbook is amazingly versatile. It goes online like a a conventional laptop and helps you visit your favorite websites with its modern browser. However, it can also stand upright like an easel when its screen and keyboard are flipped around its hinge. In this new mode, users can access web content through custom applications or “channels”. Check out litl’s fun Facebook Status channel as an example. With the SDK’s release, users will benefit from a much larger selection of free and paid channels created by independent developers.

Our planned upgrade to Flash Player 10.1 is also important. Adobe's Flash is a software platform that's popular for adding animation and interactivity to web pages. The web isn't much fun without it! The new version will use the litl's processors more efficiently and will ensure your favorite websites run faster than ever — especially the ones with games and videos. When it's released on the litl, we expect to see improved performance everywhere from Club Penguin and Farmville to Hulu and Miniclip.

And, as always, upgrades like this are done automatically and at no cost to litl's webbook owners.

Let us know what you think — here, by email, or on Twitter. We'd love to hear from you.
