00:01.25 | nt4cats | donrhummy: those pages probably don't answer all of your question, but they point you in the right direction (hopefully). If you learn more, please update one or both of those pages. |
00:02.13 | donrhummy | nt4cats: thanks for the links but they don't really point me any closer. I've already got that info which simply tells me how to turn it on, but not how to get any feedback from it |
00:02.58 | donrhummy | the phone app, as far as I can tell, simply turns it on/off but never listens for when someone's gotten near it, simply that it's been activated. |
00:03.28 | nt4cats | donrhummy: the phone app turns off the [touch]screen when the phone is near your face ... |
00:04.14 | donrhummy | nt4cats: no, it doesn't. The proximity sensor turns it off. The phone app simply tells the proximity sensor to start "listening" for someone's to be near it |
00:04.46 | nt4cats | donrhummy: You're making a (correct) distinction that I wasn't trying to :) |
00:05.49 | nt4cats | donrhummy: I haven't looked into this myself, I only noticed these pages when browsing the wiki recently. |
00:05.56 | donrhummy | nt4cats: lol, yeah I know, but it is an important distinction since it means the phone app doesn't pay attention to whether the proximity sensor senses anything |
00:06.12 | nt4cats | donrhummy: I appreciate the clarification |
00:06.46 | donrhummy | np |
00:06.48 | donrhummy | :) |
00:07.15 | nt4cats | donrhummy: this distinction would be a good finding to document on the wiki, by the way. |
00:07.40 | donrhummy | I hope it is possible (but I'm betting it's not) because it opens a lot of possibilities for cool apps (such as what's indicated in the wiki you posted, which is impossible without an event from the sensor) |
00:08.09 | donrhummy | nt4cats: how do I do that? |
00:09.10 | nt4cats | donrhummy: create an account for yourself on the www.webos-internals.org website and then click on the "edit" tab that will appear at the top of the page. |
00:09.27 | nt4cats | (there is no "edit" tab if you're not logged in) |
00:10.34 | nt4cats | donrhummy: if you want to make any of the fancy formatting changes like headings, bullet points, etc. you can look at existing pages to see how to do it or there is a pretty good help/reference pop-up that you can invoke while editing |

00:30.59 | bpadalino | alive!! |
00:31.18 | Gray_ | I was wondering about the closed source binaries used in webOS, interested in hackish ports of the platform. |
00:32.32 | bpadalino | can you be more specific ? |
00:35.13 | Gray_ | kinda, I know the OS is supported by a lot of open source components, but what I'm looking for is (optimally) a list of components that are closed source palm binaries. |
00:36.13 | *** part/#webos-internals nebula (~wIRCer@217.sub-97-255-215.myvzw.com) |
00:36.26 | Gray_ | i.e. the window compositor, things that are written in C and already compiled for the specific platform, but not opensource. |
00:36.31 | bpadalino | how detailed of a list do you want ? |
00:36.49 | Gray_ | well right now just an overview |
00:36.52 | Gray_ | would be great |
00:37.11 | bpadalino | lunasysmgr (window/main GUI handler) is closed .. |
00:37.14 | bpadalino | bluetooth stack is closed |
00:37.22 | bpadalino | wifi drivers and camera drivers are closed (i think) |
00:38.09 | bpadalino | comms driver to talk to the modem is closed |
00:38.16 | Gray_ | If I ported anything I'd probably replace the bluetooth stack and wifi drivers, lunasysmgr though would be more difficult. |
00:38.26 | bpadalino | hid daemon is closed (keyboard, touchscreen, etc) |
00:38.39 | nt4cats | donrhummy: Thanks for the update (I made a minor change to your last sentence). |
00:38.44 | bpadalino | you want to make it a completely free and open phone ? |
00:38.51 | jhojho | camera drivers are closed |
00:38.56 | nt4cats | s/update/wiki update/ |
00:39.27 | Gray_ | more like an actual port of webOS to similar hardware, kind of a stretch but worth looking into for me |
00:39.36 | jhojho | Gray_: great if you want to attempt getting bluez or something like that working... go for it |
00:39.50 | bpadalino | oh, trying to get webos on other phones ? |
00:39.56 | Gray_ | yeah, or a dev board |
00:40.50 | Gray_ | the main worry is what palm has as closed source, key components of webos. like lunasysmgr. |
00:41.07 | bpadalino | indeed - it would be very difficult .. |
00:41.18 | Gray_ | getting the rest working is no problem for me. |

07:53.46 | noaXess | have ^ |
07:53.50 | rwhitby | hmm - I need a plastic spudger to get this case apart |
07:54.04 | noaXess | rwhitby: what are you talking about? |

08:02.19 | Cicci | but it still not recognize the phone |
08:04.37 | noaXess | Cicci: have you connected your phone in just charging mode and is the devmode enabled on the device? |
08:05.15 | rwhitby | noaXess: I am taking apart a Pre |
08:05.41 | Cicci | noaXess: yea i've done both things |
08:05.58 | noaXess | Cicci: hm... |
08:07.56 | rwhitby | Cicci: have you followed the recovery page on our wiki ? |
08:08.48 | Cicci | can u paste the link? |
08:09.08 | rwhitby | it's on the front page of our wiki, and the link is in the /topic |
08:09.31 | Cicci | kk listen |
08:10.00 | Cicci | my problem isn't to recover the pre at all because it doesn't function |
08:10.15 | Cicci | but i have some problems with patches |
08:10.24 | Cicci | from preware |
08:10.52 | Cicci | i can install all patches but they will not function properly |
08:11.38 | Cicci | so i thought that an hard reset is the best thing to do but as u know now i have problem |
08:12.00 | Cicci | however i'll follow the wiki and next i'll gently ask u :) |
08:12.03 | Cicci | thanks |
08:12.45 | rwhitby | well, you need to start with being able to reliably connect to your device, and Palm has instructions on how to do that for the webOS Doctor |
08:13.07 | rwhitby | we don't usually get involved until you can complete that step yourself |
08:22.10 | rwhitby | wow, the volume key is really finicky to take apart, and the keyboard connector will be hard to ensure it's placed correctly when putting back together |
08:23.26 | rwhitby | will need to work out which way around the volume key goes later too |
08:25.59 | rwhitby | excellent, the device still boots with the back off |
08:27.47 | geist | whatcha tryin to do? |

08:36.18 | dtzWill | rwhitby's hoping there's a golden ticket inside |
08:38.40 | rwhitby | geist: just practising taking it apart |
08:38.50 | rwhitby | geist: and looking for a serial port of course :) |
08:39.02 | dtzWill | ...a golden serial port... |
08:39.03 | dtzWill | drops it |
08:39.15 | geist | ah. no the main serial port is multiplexed with the usb port |
08:39.22 | geist | it's a feature of the twl4030 |
08:39.32 | geist | alas you have to whack it with sw |
08:39.59 | rwhitby | hmm - just wondering what the four test pads under the Q key do :) |
08:40.31 | geist | yeah, there's another serial port on there somewhere |
08:40.39 | geist | but it's not pin muxed that way by default |
08:40.50 | geist | so you wont see any activity on it or anything |
08:41.28 | rwhitby | after taking it apart this far http://s1.guide-images.ifixit.com/igi/NOJ3GWQvdHGNfKvP.large I'm reconsidering whether keyboard swap surgery is feasible |
08:41.32 | geist | on our debug builds of bootie we can hold a key and it'll switch to that |
08:42.32 | rwhitby | geist: I have a device which was sent to me for cost of postage - it was submersed a number of months ago. doctored it and it seems to be working perfectly apart from the LCD |
08:42.41 | rwhitby | backlight, buzzer, speaker all work |
08:42.45 | geist | sweet |
08:42.53 | rwhitby | keyboard works enough for ctrl-alt-del |
08:43.38 | rwhitby | I was going to use it as a practice device for swapping physical keyboards |
08:44.29 | bhuey | folks |
08:46.34 | rwhitby | aha, looks like many more test points on the comms board: http://s1.guide-images.ifixit.com/igi/JJearqTXeHJFscAB.large not just the 4 exposed on the top right |
08:46.51 | geist | yeah, there are tons of those |
08:46.59 | geist | modem folks use it to talk to the modem cpu |
08:47.32 | geist | that modem board is basically a fully functional seperate cpu + memory + flash |
08:47.41 | geist | has its own os, own boot procedure, etc |
08:49.00 | rwhitby | another antenna connector just left of mid on http://s1.guide-images.ifixit.com/igi/JJearqTXeHJFscAB.large too |
08:50.13 | rwhitby | ah, I guess that's just the same as the two large contacts which mate with the casing antenna directly |
08:50.24 | rwhitby | (bottom left corner of http://s1.guide-images.ifixit.com/igi/JJearqTXeHJFscAB.large) |
08:50.43 | rwhitby | could probably buzz that out to check |
08:52.10 | *** join/#webos-internals raster (~raster@enlightenment/developer/raster) |
08:52.27 | rwhitby | pity it won't stay powered just from the USB, but that's fairly normal with phones |
08:52.53 | geist | oh? |
08:52.59 | rwhitby | hmm - or maybe I just need the full 1A for that |
08:53.14 | rwhitby | yeah, laptop USB's not gonna be enough |
08:53.27 | geist | yeah, i think we added logic for it, since it's not generally sufficient as sooin as the modem fires up |
08:53.38 | geist | but a naked board with no modem can totally be run from usb |
08:53.47 | geist | though i think powerd will try to shut it down |
08:54.31 | rwhitby | it drives the backlight, but with no LCD I can't tell easily. I need some way to mux usb data to the laptop with 1A supply from the palm power supply |
08:55.40 | rwhitby | the slider is pretty damn neat when you take a close look at it |
08:58.59 | rwhitby | I need a better camera to document this. |

09:01.53 | Sn4k3 | hi all can anyone help me? |
09:02.01 | rwhitby | geist: so the bit of white paper (which is now red paper on this device) next to the keyboard connector on the reverse of the comms board at the top right of http://s2.guide-images.ifixit.com/igi/GaQO4UrFyuFTCruN.large is a second water damage sensor I presume |
09:02.27 | geist | yeah, probably |
09:02.50 | rwhitby | it's well and truly dark pink / red on this device :) |
09:04.25 | rwhitby | must be a lot of pins on the 50 pin connector allocated to power ... |
09:05.05 | geist | some, most of them are the lcd, iirc |
09:05.23 | geist | well.. hmm, no the lcd is some sort of semi serial thing |
09:05.25 | rwhitby | I thought the OMAP was on the board behind the screen? |
09:05.41 | geist | yah, was thinking of the other connector :) |
09:06.02 | rwhitby | ah, haven't got that far yet :) |
09:06.05 | geist | yeah, for the most part that connector is power + serial + usb to the modem |
09:06.11 | geist | dont have the schematic handy |
09:07.00 | rwhitby | interesting that the power is all bunched up rather than interleaving the signal pins |
09:08.38 | geist | yaeh, looks like about 10 power, 10 ground |
09:08.41 | geist | rest is actual stuff |
09:08.56 | geist | usb, serial, gpios, i2c, etc |
09:09.13 | geist | audio to/from modem |
09:11.01 | rwhitby | wow, that keyboard bezel is not easy to remove unless you know about the two little bumps in the top middle |
09:14.13 | rwhitby | ifixit is missing some steps between 15 and 16 :) |
09:15.53 | rwhitby | excellent, still works with all the screws out |
09:16.40 | rwhitby | yep, water damager sensor near the USB is pink/red too |
09:18.48 | rwhitby | geist: do you reckon I'd be able to just swap front half and modem board between a CDMA and GSM device and expect it to work? |
09:19.04 | rwhitby | (to get an unlocked GSM with qwerty keyboard |
09:19.50 | rwhitby | from what I can see, it'd just need some nvram swapping too (depending if that is stored in flash on the omap board or comms board) |
09:19.59 | geist | hw wise, i think they're the same. sw wise, absolutely not at all |
09:21.22 | rwhitby | wonders if there is more than the normal doctor image, and the tokens that trenchcoat can overwrite, like I do for changing the keyboard it thinks it has |
09:23.19 | rwhitby | geist: there's no flash on the middle section though (the metal slider with keyboard, camera etc attached) |
09:23.43 | rwhitby | so if I keep the omap board and the comms board together, and just swap out the middle metal section with the keyboard and camera, it should just work. |
09:23.55 | geist | this is where i must stop commenting |
09:24.04 | rwhitby | yep, no worries, understood. |
09:24.09 | geist | a) i dunno, and b) can't really advise you on that kind of stuff |
09:24.29 | rwhitby | I'll keep talking, but do not expect an answer from you of course |
09:26.07 | rwhitby | that'd be quite funny, a GSM device with a Sprint logo on the mirror |
09:27.52 | rwhitby | I love the little metal fingers that come down to support the back of the bottom row of keys |
09:28.39 | rwhitby | hmm - I bet the accelerometer is on the camera board too, so the trimming for that would need to be copied across |
09:30.12 | rwhitby | and the keyboard is off. icky sticky |
09:33.36 | rwhitby | awesome, still boots with they keyboard removed |
09:39.00 | rwhitby | wow, even boots with the top connector on the omap board remove |
09:39.50 | rwhitby | so the power button is on the bottom connector |

16:41.38 | *** join/#webos-internals halfhalo_T400 (~halfhalo_@130.166.209.11) |
16:42.19 | mickeyl | as you will need to implement all the support libraries |
16:42.21 | mickeyl | think "wine" |
16:43.13 | zsoc_wirc | flare576: no gesture area on other devices |
16:43.55 | flare576 | no defined gesture area, true, but nothing saying I can't black out part of the screen and treat it as such :) |
16:44.37 | flare576 | Could even have a smart way of only using that real estate when a gesture is input, otherwise use it as viewable. |
16:44.42 | zsoc_wirc | flare576: too much proprietary low level software. maybe if other omap34x phones are similar enough |
16:44.44 | mickeyl | urm |
16:44.54 | mickeyl | i would not think about gestures :) |
16:44.57 | flare576 | I don't want to use a phone. |
16:45.00 | mickeyl | that's faaar away |
16:45.06 | flare576 | I want to make a tablet. |
16:45.22 | mickeyl | you need to think about power management, sensors, wakeup, suspend |
16:45.27 | mickeyl | itchy lowlevel details |
16:45.30 | mickeyl | all which you need to reimplement |
16:45.46 | mickeyl | and you're forced to omap btw. |
16:45.50 | mickeyl | since you can't recompile the code |
16:46.09 | flare576 | not saying it'd be a fast project, just curious if we could talk about it here and if anyone was working on it. |
16:46.21 | zsoc_wirc | you could probably do it on a beagleboard |
16:46.45 | mickeyl | i'm sure you can talk about it |
16:46.49 | mickeyl | but it's very ambitious |
16:46.51 | mickeyl | and frankly... |
16:46.59 | mickeyl | work would be better invested in reinventing that |
16:47.08 | mickeyl | since you will not be able to ship it legally anyways |
16:47.34 | zsoc_wirc | right\n |
16:47.37 | flare576 | hrm |
16:48.58 | mickeyl | given Palm's state you might be able to talk them into licensing it, if you are able to pay enough $$$ |
16:49.07 | flare576 | Well, I'll poke around with it and see if I can figure something out: I just know I'd love a webos tablet, and so would a lot of people, but no one is taking up the task. |
16:49.36 | flare576 | heh, true, but I don't think "Hey, Palm, I got $20, what can I get" will get me very far :) |
16:49.49 | mickeyl | yes, i was more thinking about a couple of zeros appended... |
16:49.57 | mickeyl | webos may fly on a phone |
16:50.08 | mickeyl | but don't let yourself be tricked it will work unmodified on a tablet |
16:50.14 | mickeyl | you have to revisit the UI paradigms |
16:50.16 | flare576 | Can you imagine it on a snap dragon? |
16:52.32 | flare576 | In any case, it's probably way more than I can handle, but I'm interested enough to see what I can do; I've never tried low-level stuff before so it'll at least be a learning experience :) |
16:53.13 | mickeyl | sure |
16:53.16 | mickeyl | feel free to go for it |
16:53.24 | mickeyl | my group is doing insane things as well |
16:53.33 | mickeyl | slightly related to what you're doing, but the other way round :) |
16:53.59 | flare576 | hah |
16:53.59 | mickeyl | like - using only the Palm Pre hardware with completely different software |
16:54.25 | mickeyl | which is tough as well |
16:54.30 | flare576 | I wish yah luck :) I use the Pre for WebOS, though, not the other way around |
16:54.43 | flare576 | but I LOVE seeing crazy stuff be done on devices |
16:54.48 | mickeyl | hehe |
16:55.32 | flare576 | meetin' time, thanks for the info zsoc_wirc, mickeyl :) |

16:59.25 | zsoc_wirc | mickeyl: hows the fspo world going? |
16:59.38 | mickeyl | good and bad |
16:59.47 | mickeyl | good: have been adding support for the sensors |
16:59.48 | mickeyl | ambient light |
16:59.51 | mickeyl | proximty |
16:59.53 | mickeyl | vibrator |
16:59.58 | mickeyl | all easy and done now |
17:00.01 | mickeyl | bad: |
17:00.07 | mickeyl | showstoppers are still modem and touchscreen |
17:00.10 | zsoc_wirc | cool cool\n |
17:00.21 | mickeyl | touchscreen may have seen a breakthrough yesterday, as some guys found the bisplines |
17:00.24 | zsoc_wirc | ah\n |
17:00.44 | mickeyl | modem needs a couple of more manmonths intensive protocol reengineering |
17:00.45 | zsoc_wirc | well that's good news |
17:00.50 | mickeyl | yeah, all in all it's well |
17:00.57 | mickeyl | let me get you a screeny |

17:07.40 | mickeyl | well, it's linux |
17:07.52 | zsoc_wirc | that's not what I asked lol |
17:07.57 | mickeyl | it runs on Openmoko devices, on the HTC Dream, and some other HTC devices, and some OpenEZX devices |
17:08.04 | mickeyl | in varying degrees of support, of course |
17:08.09 | zsoc_wirc | ah ok, cool |
17:08.11 | mickeyl | "thanks" to kernel and hardware issues |
17:08.18 | zsoc_wirc | of course :) |

17:09.17 | mickeyl | and since middleware essentially is invisible |

17:09.34 | mickeyl | this is what you're seeing in the screenshot |

22:06.20 | flare576 | So, from what we know about the Linux behind the current webos, would a dual-booting tablet be feasible if someone wanted to run another OS beside our beloved WebOS? |

22:29.59 | LarrySteeze | I'm wondering what, if any, effect it will have on the relationship we have with them |
22:31.15 | tmzt_ | gps? |
22:31.18 | LarrySteeze | although to be honest, I'm incredibly excited at the prospect of a webos tablet...it's something I was hoping palm would do |
22:31.46 | sethron|work | rwhitby: hope it's not like humpty dumpty |
22:32.09 | LarrySteeze | people are blinded by the iPhone, but if a tablet came out soon enough, the strengths of the OS would certainly shine |
22:32.37 | tmzt_ | 17SAAB8DM:27 < Mousey> well HP is still a huge MS supporter |
22:32.39 | rwhitby | sethron|work: it actaully still boots while mostly in pieces |
22:32.53 | sethron|work | ponders how cool it would be to run stellarium on a webOS tablet and look up at night |
22:32.56 | tmzt_ | isn't HTC the one that just paid to license some patents from Microsoft? |
22:33.02 | EvanDotPro | you know what sucks? i missed the news so i didn't have a chance to sell my stock at $6+ :( |
22:33.03 | hemna | yup |
22:33.17 | LarrySteeze | I am disappointed though. I was hoping to see palm to go it alone |
22:33.31 | Mousey | tmzt_: no that was Google |
22:33.32 | sethron|work | rwhitby: fascinating |
22:33.51 | Mousey | LarrySteeze: that's been said a lot in here today |
22:34.12 | LarrySteeze | I believe it |
22:34.21 | rwhitby | sethron|work: with two out of four connectors disconnected, it still boots without the keyboard or camera board assembly connected |
22:34.35 | LarrySteeze | but with a bigger company backing Palm, it may help with developer relations |
22:34.50 | rwhitby | sethron|work: I'll probably put up some pics today |
22:34.51 | LarrySteeze | and by developer, I don't really mean for the app catalog |
22:35.07 | LarrySteeze | I mean more like...I want friggin google voice to be better. |
22:35.49 | tmzt_ | Mousey: was it? the reporting is wrong then |
22:36.00 | Mousey | well i saw google |
22:36.01 | halfhalo_T400 | second shot at plus on sprint... |
22:36.20 | tmzt_ | it was for android devices (but not clear if the patents were supposed to be linux, ril or directly related to the android code base) |
22:36.43 | Mousey | well knowing MS, that FUD's on purpose |
22:37.02 | tmzt_ | I guess the interesting thing here is we have three serious unix-based mobile os's (on phones) |
22:37.10 | tmzt_ | maybe four if nokia commits to theirs |
22:37.18 | LarrySteeze | my other fear is that the OS may become more locked down |
22:37.35 | Mousey | no maybe about it, Maemo is still a superior linux-based phone OS than all others |
22:37.46 | tmzt_ | mine is more of an assurance that the code remains proprietary, not that that was going to change anyway |
22:37.52 | LarrySteeze | meaning eventually, we may be forced to custom roms instead of tweaks for some |
22:38.04 | tmzt_ | or then, maybe they could suprise us by opening a tiny bit of it |
22:38.11 | Mousey | platforms that force custom roms rarely last.. apple notwithstanding |
22:38.21 | tmzt_ | of course that just leads down the android 1.5/1.6/aosp path |
22:38.30 | LarrySteeze | you mean moving more towards an open-source approach? |
22:38.31 | tmzt_ | so I don't expect it to be available to anyone to license |
22:38.35 | Mousey | hell even linksys and dlink are embracing the OEs and the tomatos and such |
22:38.36 | hemna | I dunno. HP sells a lot of linux hardware |
22:38.55 | hemna | I don't see a reason they would start locking it down and stripping it |
22:39.04 | Mousey | HP is a massively hugegantic linux sponsor |
22:39.05 | tmzt_ | well, HP/cpq/DEC were the ones with the first linux pda I think, sharp shortly after |
22:39.10 | tmzt_ | unless you count lineo |
22:39.19 | joshua | http://hp.sourceforge.net/ |
22:39.38 | tmzt_ | my favorite thing would be an upstream kernel that works on both omap and msm devices |
22:39.46 | tmzt_ | airlife is snapdragon based right? |
22:39.56 | LarrySteeze | part of me wishes HTC would have been the buyer, if there had to be one...because they have such a strong hardware angle. But my biggest fear with them would have been throwing webos away...they have a strong commitment to microsoft and google. |
22:40.09 | tmzt_ | nah, HTC would have used it to springboard Sense to an OS |
22:40.18 | Mousey | well a commitment to google is at least in the general direction of linux |
22:40.33 | LarrySteeze | If HTC bought it, I think it would have been for the patents |
22:40.51 | tmzt_ | so reports today that Google pulled the Nexus from vzw over customization issues |
22:41.01 | tmzt_ | at 1.2b? |
22:41.13 | tmzt_ | that seems high when they could settle with aapl for less |
22:41.25 | tmzt_ | 17SAAB8DM:27 < Mousey> well HP is still a huge MS supporter |
22:41.35 | tmzt_ | I just wish HTC would have stood up to the MS patent grab |
22:41.45 | LarrySteeze | I hope HP doesn't try to jump on the widget bandwagon |
22:41.53 | Mousey | HP is big enough to have a healthy internal schitzophrenia |
22:42.07 | tmzt_ | slate phone gps |
22:42.10 | tmzt_ | hmm |
22:42.20 | Mousey | webos/ubuntu slate |
22:42.21 | tmzt_ | what's wrong with widgets? |
22:42.46 | tmzt_ | I'd still like to see chrome os though |
22:42.59 | tmzt_ | I guess that doesn't make sense in this climate |
22:44.05 | sethron|work | rwhitby: hope to see some demented photos :) |
22:44.22 | LarrySteeze | I relize HP is a huge ms supporter, but (at least in the US market), they haven't really done much with MS in the smartphone market |
22:45.40 | jbrett | EvanDotPro: they announced after the markets closed. You'll have a chance to sell tomorrow :) |
22:46.26 | EvanDotPro | jbrett: oh nice i didn't pay attention to the times. i guess that makes sense, most (or all) takeovers are announced after closing. |
22:46.29 | jbrett | LarrySteeze: every phone HP has made has been a wimo/wince device, what do you mean? |
22:47.11 | tmzt_ | when's the last phone they made? |
22:47.53 | jbrett | the 910 IIRC. Sometime late last year? |
22:47.57 | tmzt_ | of course it's interesting to see what HP was saying about consumer earlier today |
22:48.01 | tmzt_ | before the announcement |
22:48.25 | tmzt_ | and noticing that HP and Dell are both treating it as a sort of undesirable segment at present, with hopes of changing that |

23:04.01 | tmzt_ | so Apple blocks third party dev environments from targeting it's devices, webkit starts to become a lowest common denominator for mobile applications, but without a packaging solution for offline |
23:04.45 | tmzt_ | and handset makers actually move closer to first party OSs and fragmentation across form factors |

23:05.13 | tmzt_ | which the Android meme seemed to be contradicting |
23:06.38 | tmzt_ | this also leaves the question of what HP will do about x86-based mobile devices, such as the 'lauded' slate |
23:07.31 | dgathright | I think HP, who up until the now the biggest name in Windows tablets, paying $1.2 billion to ditch Windows is a pretty bad sign for MS tablets. |
23:08.06 | tmzt_ | if they were serious about Windows tablet they'd buy motion anyway |
23:08.30 | tmzt_ | first big OEM to do so wins that segment, though toshiba could make a play with toughbooks, and Lenovo of course |
23:08.31 | hemna | even better. |
23:08.56 | tmzt_ | hemna: I'd love to see what they could do with arm hardware |
23:09.06 | tmzt_ | once the dropped iPads start piling up |

23:19.45 | PuffTheMagic | tmzt_: webOS can run on the Slate |
23:20.00 | PuffTheMagic | webOS does not need arm hw |
23:20.19 | PuffTheMagic | tmzt_: in fact, webOS WILL run on the Slate |
23:20.41 | PuffTheMagic | i would bet money on it |
23:22.10 | jhowirc | webos already runs on the emulator which is x86 |
23:25.30 | tmzt_ | right, I'm aware |

23:41.59 | oil | typed it out |

23:52.17 | LarrySteeze | sorry, was afk |
23:53.11 | LarrySteeze | I know every phone HP has made has used windows mobile....but my point was that HP hasn't exactly gained much market share...or put out many mobile phones |
23:54.42 | Abyssul | Too bad we won't see the result of the merge til like the end of the year |
23:55.11 | LarrySteeze | yeah... |
23:55.33 | LarrySteeze | but above all...I just want a webos tablet. AND I don't want to wait until the end of the year for it |
23:55.53 | Abyssul | Prob at the end of the year to tell the truth |
23:56.08 | bpadalino | i think the results of the merger will be apparent relatively quickly .. in terms of developers coming aboard and investing time with an HP backing versus just Palm |
23:56.10 | halfhalo_T400_ | gives up in the palmcast chat |
23:57.01 | Abyssul | We are thinking of hardware though |
23:59.18 | bpadalino | oh |
