It’s nearly Thanksgiving in the US so for this special Turkey-day edition of the News Roundup we’ll cover some things you can be thankful for. For those who get a little too aggressive with patching their phones, webOS Doctor 1.3.1 is available. For the Europeans, there’s webOS 1.3.1. We’ll wrap up with a wide selection [...]
Interview With WebOS Internal’s Rod Whitby
I had the opportunity to have a virtual conversation with Rod Whitby recently. Rod is the founder of WebOS Internals and very active in the webOS open source community. It’s pretty safe to say that WebOS Internals led the way to the first homebrew on the Pre and that they continue to play a critical [...]
Need help with your Palm Pre or Pixi? Try Twitter!
Before I got my Palm Pre, I hardly understood what Twitter was. … But that was so June 2009.
I initially joined Twitter to sing my praises of the Palm Pre, but as I’ve come to find out, it’s much more than just a sounding board. It’s a community. It’s a search engine. And for many [...]

Interview with Palm’s Chuq Von Rospach
For those of you who are developing applications for Palm’s webOS the name Chuq Von Rospach should be familiar. For those who aren’t, Chuq is Palm’s Developer Community Manager. Chuq is an inordinately busy person and tracking him down is a bit like trying to track down an elusive bird, I imagine. If the previous [...]
Wednesday News Roundup – Pixi, Developers and More
The time machine is out of service this week so the Wednesday News Roundup is showing up a bit late. In the last week (and a day) the news has mostly revolved around the upcoming release for the Pixi. In addition to the Pixi we received word that Palm is allowing more developers [...]
A Guide to CSS Transitions in webOS
Bringing Styles Into the 4th Dimension
In the old days, in order to make HTML look the way you wanted, you used more HTML. Every element had to be individually styled, using ribbons of FONT and CENTER and B tags. Then CSS came along and gave web developers the ability to group elements into classes with [...]
Wednesday News Roundup – Pixi, Asia, webOS and iTunes
