  5. WebOS.. The Veer/Touchpad soon to be Pre 3 by gQuigs · · Score: 1 · on Jailbreakme 3.0 Released

    WebOS Devices have a great homebrew community that HP supports. HP donated servers and help them port some of the homebrew only apps. (One example: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/06/hp-soothes-homebrew-crowd-by-reaffiming-support)

    I've blogged about it before as well ( http://bryanquigley.com/uncategorized/hppalms-webos)

    From the webosinternals wiki: ( http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Accessing_Linux)
    "In general, simply installing the Palm SDK gives you everything you need for full access to the Linux operating system on the Pre or Pixi. There is no special "rooting" or "jailbreaking" process. Simply installing the SDK provides you with unlimited access to the Linux operating system logged in as the root user. Palm does not see this as a bad thing. Palm provides all these tools for download by anyone, anytime, for free."

  6. I'm on WebOS now... by gQuigs · · Score: 1 · on Nokia Introduces MeeGo-Powered N9 Phone

    I had been waiting for MeeGo, but am now happily on a Palm Pre Plus. It's not completely open source but so far they really respect the homebrew community. That doesn't appear to be changing with HP now in charge.

    I have longer post on it for those interested

    An excerpt:
    HP/Palm really deliver on openness. It’s NOT completely open source. However, they support their homebrew community, and be support I mean they have donated servers to them. All the devices I looked at (haven’t looked at the Veer) ship with the ability to go to developer mode, which really does mean typing in “upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart”. Which is just awesome.. The homebrew site even has (unsupported by Palm) instructions on how to upgrade a WebOS 1.4.5 device to WebOS 2.1 (the veer os).
    Part of the homebrew community is patches to change functionality. About 500 of them or so, for instance changing how the date displays, adding alarm options, and a lot more.
    Oh, and Ubuntu is a supported developer environment

  7. I left Facebook... by gQuigs · · Score: 4, Informative · on More Users Are Shunning Facebook

    And I have not looked back... For me, I got tired of changing my privacy options all the time to keep what I wanted private, private. They kept changing them so that I would have to reconfigure things, for the same level of privacy.

  8. Welcome to not being the market leader.. by gQuigs · · Score: 2 · on Windows Phones Getting Buried At Carriers' Stores

    Same issue when I was looking for a Palm Pre Plus... So I bought it online. Palm's .. err HPs new phones (right now just the Veer) are likely just as buried. This is a hard market to get into. In fact the one Palm phone I was able to get access to in the store didn't seem to work.

    I ended up getting a Palm Pre Plus and really like it and highly recommend it (well actually at this point you should get the Veer or Pre3). It's not all open source but they respect (read donate hardware too) their homebrew community.

    I don't see a reason why we should care that Windows Phones aren't getting "fair" time in the market, they have an unfair enough advantage in other markets. I also would much rather WebOS take off.
