Palm gets back into the game with touchscreen Pre, WebOS as the new iPhone competitor

noreply@blogger.com (The Dreamer) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:52:00 +0000

Palm was under serious pressure to hit a home run at CES today—and boy, did it deliver. Running Palm's gorgeous (if belated) new platform, dubbed WebOS, the touchscreen Pre could well be Palm's savior, and perhaps its biggest hit.

So, as for the Pre itself (due on Sprint in the first half of this year, no pricing yet): It's got a big, 3.1-inch 480 by 320 touch display (yes, with multitouch and an accelerometer), weighs in at 4.8 ounces, and comes with a curved, slide-out keypad. Yes, it does Wi-Fi and 3G (EV-DO Rev. A, to be exact), as well as GPS (with turn-by-turn directions courtesy of TeleNav), stereo Bluetooth, 8GB of internal storage, a 3MP camera, a 3.5mm headset jack, and a removable battery.

But the key to the Pre is its OS, and WebOS—previously code-named "Nova"—is one of the hottest mobile platforms I've seen yet, rivaling both Android and Apple's iPhone OS.

At a glance, WebOS doesn't look all that different from the icon-driven, touch-based Android and iPhone platforms; you've got your main, wallpapered home screen, complete with a row of icons along the bottom for your standard e-mail, calendar, and calling features.

I'm also happy with Palm's integrated messaging interface, which combines IM and text chats into a single, threaded conversation.

But Palm's done a few key things differently here, starting with the "gesture" area at the bottom or side of the screen (if you're, say, surfing the Web in landscape mode). For example, if you're browsing an individual contact in the Pre's address book, you can flick horizontally in the gesture area to go back to the contact list, or you can flick up for a translucent window shade of applications. Nice.

More importantly, though, is WebOS's way of letting you handle and sort all your open applications like a deck of cards. If you're composing an e-mail, for example, you can flick up, call open a new application, and then return to your e-mail at any point. All open applications appear as windows (similar to the windows in the iPhone's Web browser), and you can flick back and forth, reorder them, and discard them at will.

That's really cool, and it solves one of the biggest problems that's dogged the iPhone—namely, that its various applications are all walled off, making it difficult to easily switch from, say, the Web browser to the calendar and back again.

WebOS also introduces a concept dubbed "Synergy," which all applications can continuously get info from the Web. The best example: WebOS's unified contact list, which seamlessly displays all your contacts and grab their e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and IM handles from Facebook, Gmail, Exchange, you name it.

And then there's the WebOS "Dashboard": a flexible space at the bottom of the screen for calling, messaging, and appointment alerts. As you're working in other applications, you might see the first line of a text message or IM, or the Dashboard might open a bit bigger for a calendar alert, complete with "dismiss" and "snooze" options. When alerts appear, you're free to keep working in your open application, or you can go ahead and open the alert—and if you want to answer an IM, you can swipe to that "card" in WebOS, and then return to your previous application card. Great stuff.

A few other interesting notes: When you're sitting at the Pre's main screen, you can just start typing on the QWERTY keypad to call up a universal search menu; you'll instantly see any matching contacts, or you can quickly jump to Web results from Google, Google Maps, and Wikipedia.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention "Touchstone," a little hockey puck of an accessory with a killer feature—wireless charging. Just place the Pre on top of the Touchstone device to power it up. Awesome.

It's a lot to chew on—indeed, Palm's press conference is barely an hour old, and already I'm having the same feeling I did after the iPhone's debut two years ago. The Pre—and WebOS—look red-hot, and the two combined may well guarantee that Palm will live to fight another (and perhaps, many) days.

So, initial thoughts? Like what you see? Will developers take to writing WebOS applications? Fire away.

Note: Just to clear up any confusion—the Pre is not Palm's first touchscreen phone, not by a long shot. As any Treo fan knows, Palm has been making touchscreen smartphones for years, although earlier models worked better with a stylus than a fingertip.

webOS School to give live "developing for webOS" webcasts

noreply@blogger.com (The Dreamer) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:35:00 +0000

Iowa Code Camp ramps up on tomorrow, and the folks from webOS School are going to be presenting 3 sessions all about programming for webOS. If you can't catch the presentations in person, there's good news: they've decided to offer their presentations at the Code Camp for free, online, in the form of webcasts. Here's what to expect:

* Intro to webOS: 9:00 am - 10:15am
webOS is the newest mobile development platform. Specifically for the Palm pre and pixi, webOS is a mobile development framework based strictly on JavaScript, CSS and HTML. If you have used any of these in the past then you have a head start on developing in webOS. If you want to really jump into webOS or you want a glimpse of what developing in webOS is like, this session is for you. This intro to webOS will cover the basics of the framework, how to get started and the major points you need to know to get off on the right foot.

* Intro to webOS UI Widgets: 10:30am - 11:45am
This session will go over the basics of working with user interface components (widgets) in webOS. It will cover the basic widgets you will use in almost every application and will also cover some of the advanced widgets you will need.

* Intro to webOS Services: 12:45pm - 2:00pm
All applications need data and webOS applications are no exception to that rule. In this session you will learn several types of ways to retrieve and work with data within your webOS application. This will include working with local storage as well as retrieving data asynchronously from servers. And let's face it, it would suck to develop on phones that don't give you access to their cool services like GPS, the address book, calendar and other things. Thankfully you can access these things and more using Mojo's services via webOS calls. This session will cover the basics of making service calls.

In addition to what's listed in the above descriptions, I'm told that they'll be writing two applications to help demonstrate the concepts they'll be talking about: the first is an interactive game, the second is an app that will showcase the services available in webOS.

eXo WebOS Technology

noreply@blogger.com (The Dreamer) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:48:00 +0000

eXo WebOS : a revolutionary and intuitive interface

Because portal users want to use latest technologies, eXo Platform developed a revolutionary portal interface: the eXo Portal WebOS. The aim of eXo WebOS is to reproduce the environment of classic operating systems, where you can easily find your useful applications and organize your work space through desktop windows that can be maximized or minimized. Application windows can also be moved in the desktop and from a desktop to another enabling you organize your working environment according to your preferences and requirements.

While you can easily launch applications through the “Mac OS-like” dock, you can edit your preferences in a simple way through the “Windows-like” start button. Moreover eXo WebOS enable you to quickly switch between your virtual desktops and to arrange each according to your environment preferences.

eXo WebOS comes with 3 skins for the usual and WebOS layouts:

an eXo skin
a Mac OS like skin
a Vista like skin

eXo WebOS : a user oriented solution

eXo WebOS, like eXo Portal, is accessible from anywhere at anytime. Installing and updating applications is no longer a problem as nearly no computer knowledge is needed and thus, anyone can add services in less than two minutes. Users can use portlets developed by the company, install third party applications using JSR 168/286 standards.

Moreover Widgets use is a hot topic in the consumer area, they are now part of PC or Mac desktops. Little by little they are entering the enterprise world to provide information on the IT system status. In eXo Solutions, widgets are natively part of the Portal product to provide a simple and easy way for users to get information and notifications on their applications. They complete the portlet application that target more transactional behaviors. In fact widgets inside the WebOS layout have exactly the same granularity as the Mac OS widgets.

eXo WebOS : Technology and Adaptability to your portal

Thanks to an extensive use of Web 2.0 technologies (AJAX and Javascript), it is now possible to reproduce inside a browser the complete behavior of a typical Operating System such as Windows Vista or Mac OS. Applications are built using W3C standards and leverage the Portlet API specification which defines a common set of rules to build WebOS applications.

Based on eXo Portal, the eXo WebOS interface brings to your company the same benefits:

The eXo framework enables your IT department to build flexible SOA based solutions, and to be scaled to your organization whatever its size. This flexible solution lets your company adapt to fast changing environments by enabling you to easily deploy the services needed tomorrow, all at significantly lower costs. It supports major industry standards like portlet technologies JSR 168/286 and Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) with bridges capabilities for JavaServer Faces (JSF), Spring, Struts and JSP. Its flexible deployment architecture offers options for efficiently sharing portal resources and managing portal security. Security capabilities in eXo Portal simplify integration and deployment.

Thanks to single sign-on (SSO), which can be combined to a LDAP server epending on you security requirements, you are able to easily manage authentication and the personalization of content from services depending on who you are and your role within your groups. eXo Portal leverage a unified service that manages users, groups and the relationships between them. That information can be stored in a database or in a LDAP directory (including Active Directory). eXo Portal relies on Java standards (JAAS) for propagating the user identity and roles from the directory to the application server.

iTunes Updated to 9.0.2, Pre Sync is Dead.

noreply@blogger.com (The Dreamer) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:27:00 +0000

Here we go again. Apple has updated iTunes to version 9.0.2 and Palm Pre sync is dead again using webOS 1.2.1, despite Palm's Hurculean efforts to spoof nearly every aspect of USB identification known to mankind. As with previous breakages, iTunes does launch when you connect a Pre with Media Mode, but it doesn't appear as a device on the sidebar.

Pre owners can at least take comfort in knowing that Apple's main goal here was adding support for the new AppleTV format, but breaking Pre sync support was a nice cherry for them.

iTunes 9.0.2 adds support for Apple TV software version 3.0, adds an option for a dark background for Grid View, and improves support for accessibility.

Round and round we go. It's your move, Palm, what's it going to be?

Preware 0.9.5 Version Supports for Multiple webOS

noreply@blogger.com (The Dreamer) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:32:00 +0000

Ubiquitous open standards software/patch/theme installer Preware, which is developed and maintained by the enterprising developers over at webos-internals, has received support for multiple OS versions in its latest update to 0.9.5. The new version of Preware automatically selects the webOS-patches feed to match the running version of webOS (the GSM variant of the Pre currently runs 1.1.3, as opposed to 1.2.1 on the CDMA version), which ensures that any patches you install are compatible with the version of webOS that's running on your device.

Thanks to everyone that sent this in!

Virtual Desktop And Web OS

noreply@blogger.com (The Dreamer) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:45:00 +0000

Have you ever imagined of a Virtual Desktop which can be accessed through a normal web browser?

It’s reality as the open source community has come up with Virtual Desktop accessible from any geographical location. It has integrated Office applications like Word Processor, Spread sheets, Presentations, Mail client, User management, Desktop customization just like Windows & Linux.

EyeOS , Ulteo & Psych Desktop are few examples of Web OS and Virtual Desktop. I have tried EyeOS and it’s installation is really simple.

Ulteo has now released Open Office integrated in it’s Virtual Desktop version but it is still in Beta stage. Once I try it I will share my experiences.

Psych Desktop installations seems to be tough as I was unable to install it after several attempts. The error message s during instalation process is alos not user friendly.

Web OS 2009 Competition | Palm Pre Just the Beginning for WebOS

noreply@blogger.com (The Dreamer) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:21:00 +0000

There has rarely been as much anticipation of a single smartphone as there has been about the Palm Pre since it made its grand entrance at January's CES in Las Vegas. Still, if things go as Palm plans, the real news is more about their new WebOS than it is about the Pre device specifically. Palm sees the Pre as just the beginning of a WebOS based ecosystem, which is essentially corporate speak for saying we plan to make a bunch of different phones based on WebOS.

If history is an indicator, that's a good tactic for Palm to pursue given that the company was king of the PDA hill when they made both the hardware and the software.

We're all for the optimistic outlook, but the essential task at hand is getting the Pre launched successfully. Palm and Sprint, the devices exclusive U.S. distributor, have been frustratingly slow to release details, particularly those regarding pricing and a debut date. As we wait for product information, Palm's dismal financial position is being given ever more attention. The company reported a net loss of $98 million for its fiscal third quarter on revenues of $90.6 million. That revenue figure is down from $312 million in the same quarter a year ago. Smartphone revenue was off by 72 percent.

Palm Chief Financial Officer Doug Jeffries noted that "With these financial figures it's easy to forget the progress we've made." Nonetheless his tone was upbeat about the successful launch of the Pre on the Sprint network. The company's CEO Edward Colligan sounded the same chord, saying that "I have never had more confidence in Palm's ability to bring a new product to market on time and at scale."

Key to successful introduction of the Pre and WebOS is Palm's relationship with Sprint. Both companies have a lot riding on the smartphone and CFO Jeffries said they had been working "more collaboratively" with the wireless provider. Palm is also working hard with software developers to have applications ready at launch having released its MOJO Software Development Kit to select developers.

Definition of Web Operating System From Wiki

noreply@blogger.com (The Dreamer) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:36:00 +0000

For the smartphone operating system developed by Palm, see webOS.

In metacomputing, WebOS and Web operating system are terms that describe network services for internet scale distributed computing, as in the WebOS Project at UC Berkeley, and the WOS Project. In both cases the scale of the web operating system extends across the internet, like the web.

However, the terms WebOS and Web operating system have been employed more broadly and with far greater popularity in the context of "the web as in HTTP", and for many meanings ranging from singular systems to collections of systems. In April 2002, Tim O'Reilly spoke of "the emergent Internet operating system" as an open collection of Web services.

Common to uses for collections of systems, a Web operating system is distinct from Internet operating systems in that it is independent of the traditional individual computer operating system. This conception of the system reflects an evolution of research in the field of operating systems into the increasingly minimized (for example, TinyOS and Exokernel) and distributed (for example, Inferno), and for distributed systems increasingly defined in terms of the specification of their network protocols more than their implementations (for example, Plan9's 9P).

In a usage referring to singular network services, a Web operating system is another name for a Webtop. These services turn the desktop into a service that runs on the Internet rather than on the local computer. As these services include a file system and application management system, they increasingly overlap with the functionality of a traditional desktop computer operating system.

In a usage referring to desktop (or handheld) computer application environments, a Web operating system is a traditional operating system that is focused on supporting Web applications themselves, or a desktop operating system solely providing Web access.^[10]^[11]^[12] Systems like these also are known as kiosks.

History Of WebOS

WebOS gained popularity in 1999 when a much touted start up, WebOS Inc. (at first known as Hyperoffice and later known as MyWebOS), was founded by Berkeley grad Shervin Pishevar and Emory grad Drew Morris. WebOS licensed the WebOS technologies from Duke University and University of Texas (Austin) and recruited Dr. Amin Vahdat, Professor of Computer Science at Duke, who had pioneered the WebOS technologies at University of California at Berkeley where he got his PhD on his WebOS research. WebOS acquired WebOS.org, which was created by a young Swedish programmer, Fredrik Malmer, who had created the first online desktop environment.

Soon after, some of the top DHTML and Javascript programmers in the world such as Erik Arvidsson of WebFx fame, Dan Steinman, creator of the Dynamic Duo Cross-browser DHTML API, joined WebOS. WebOS raised over $10 million in financing from Impact Venture Partners led by Adam Dell and Grotech Capital. WebOS was launched with a vision of creating the first web operating system complete with a WebOS API allowing developers to create Windows-like web applications that worked at extremely fast speeds by caching much of the code in the local browser. Arvidsson later launched Bindows, a framework very similar to the WebOS API, that does much of this and is used by many large companies and the US Military.

WebOS filed the very first WebOS patents in 1999. WebOS competed with another start up, Desktop.com, which was aimed more at the consumer market. WebOS was covered by many media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, financial Times, LA Times, Power lunch on CNBC, Fox News and CNN and helped spread the WebOS meme further. WebOS launched Hyperoffice, a full office suite, back in 1999.

A 2003 scientific publication was made about BolinOS, a "Web Operating System for Internet / Radiology"^[14] based on works started in 1995 by the University of Geneva in Switzerland, and relates the diverse aspects of this kind of online platform, based on client and server side distribution of applications using platform independent software.

What is Web 2.0 from wiki

noreply@blogger.com (The Dreamer) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:41:00 +0000

The term "Web 2.0" is commonly associated with web applications which facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design and collaboration on the World Wide Web. Examples of Web 2.0 include web-based communities, hosted services, web applications, social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, mashups and folksonomies. A Web 2.0 site allows its users to interact with other users or to change website content, in contrast to non-interactive websites where users are limited to the passive viewing of information that is provided to them.

The term is closely associated with Tim O'Reilly because of the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but rather to cumulative changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Web. Whether Web 2.0 is qualitatively different from prior web technologies has been challenged by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee who called the term a "piece of jargon"

Glide Webos Online for Free

noreply@blogger.com (The Dreamer) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:59:00 +0000

What can you use the application for?

Glide is a web based operating system that is used to integrate web applications into an all new web based work place. It is a web-top, or we can say a virtual desktop located on the web, that runs as a complete software in a web browser. Web desktops are often characterized by a setting, similar to that of Mac, Linux, or Windows but they are now considered to have more functionality because of the dependence on the Internet. Distinctive benefits of Glide OS include the capability to save the settings and work, directly over the internet and not on the local desktop. Glide OS is a wonderful way to keep a record of all media-related information. It enables the user to organize his/her digital life. The “mission” of the application is to provide a designer platform to the users, where they can frame their lives accordingly. The site puts it a bit differently, it says Glide is the users “playground”, a learning “laboratory”, or a social milieu. In short Glide is a medium to mix and match the stuff, rise above the boundaries and reinvent your own life, (at least this is what the website claims). The glide operating system offers three plans for the users. The first plan is absolutely free of cost. The other two plans are designed for monthly or the yearly usage of the application. The latter plans allow the user to pay the rental either on the monthly basis or on the yearly basis.

What is the history and popularity of the application?

Glidedigital is web application of the company named Transmedia, which was established in the year 2001 and claims to have millions of users who are currently using the application. The company is presently situated in New York, USA. Donald Leka is the Chairman and CEO of Transmedia. He is the basic architect of the company. The website is rapidly increasing its user base and large part of it can be attributed to the growing interest in web based desktops amongst computer users.

What are the differences to other applications?

The application is somewhat different from other applications as it allows the users to get screen shots of the software before actually installing it. The users can check out how the Glide OS looks like. So this comes as an additional advantage for those who wish to try and compare different applications.

How does the application look and feel to use?

As far as the looks are concerned, Glide OS comes across as pretty decent package. The front page features the logo and an attractive tagline that says, “Glide: The complete mobile desktop solution”. The home page with a blue background also features a snapshot of the web top. This allows the user to checkout the design and features of the operating system. Navigation is also intuitive in the site.

How does the registration process work?

The registration process involves three simple steps, and one can choose from free plans and the paid plans available on the website. For registration information like first name, last name, desired username and email address, password and current email address are required. Credit card details are not required for registration.

What does it cost to use the application?

Glidedigital consists of 3 basic plans for its users- Glide Free, Glide premium monthly and Glide premium yearly. A user can choose any of the three plans as per his requirements. Monthly plan can be subscribed with a fee of $4.95 per month and for yearly plan a fee of $49.95 annually is to be paid. Both paid plans include 20 GB of storage and upto 25 users.

Who would you recommend the application to?

The application is recommended for those who wish to organize their digital life. This is a wonderful application for those who are fed up of browsing online desktop applications and haven’t yet found a genuine and reliable application. Easy registration, news flash, loads of information on the working of the site and straight forward approach, surely makes it a great choice among other applications.

Glide Features

Straightforward and user-friendly approach: this is one of the best features of the site as it makes browsing more convenient and less complicated.
Glide Write: this feature is more or less like the Microsoft Word and keeps records of all the word documents.
Glide Mobile: it allows the user to checkout songs, videos and keep a record of the same.
Photo editor: this is yet another feature of the operating system that is fully equipped with remarkable photo editing ability.

Cloudo the beautiful Web OS with cloud computing

noreply@blogger.com (The Dreamer) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:46:00 +0000

About three months ago I spoke about the new Google operating system called gOS Cloud. No joke! If you don’t believe me and you want to look for yourself, here is the article. gOS Cloud is a fully developed operating system which “lives” in the Internet. As a matter of fact, it boots from your favorite browsers and contains almost all the most important tools you have on your Windows/Mac/Linux. Of course, all the documents you write there will be saved in some remote server on the other side of the world, with the side-option to save it locally. If you have’t fully understood the meaning of what I said just image to be able to reach your personal operating system wherever you are and from whatever computer you use! That’s gOS. Recently a Swedish company called Cloudo and composed of a team of 5 men has developed the Google operating system further, to offer you a free, fully, virtual operating system which has nothing to envy to the one you are using right now!

Cloudo is a real operating system offering you all the tools you have in your computer. The user interface is quite stylish and captivating. I like it! Here is a list of its most important tools:

Application Manager: an easy platform to install whatever applications you wish.
Textpad: a very limited text editor, all in all similar to Notepad.
CHamp: an easy to use audio player which reminds me of WinAmp.
Media Player: a simple player to play your videos.
Calendar: keep track of your appointments.
Weather widget: keep an eye on the weather while working.
RSS reader: read your favorite news directly on your desktop.
Google Maps.
Games: Iceman, Gomoku, Othello, Connect Four, MineSweeper, Snake, Sudoku
