    I'm actually a big fan of the Hyundai Veloster's touch screen. It provides all the functionality you'd expect, without the convoluted menu systems of other cars. http://gaspuol.fil…

    I wonder why Canada is never on this? Our ISPs deserve a little public humiliation.

    And they succeeded. Enyo is a nice, stable cross platform JS framework, and Open webOS has a decent sized hacker community around it (webOS Ports).

    I just feel bad for the smart people there that may be out of a job soon. And yes, most of my desire to see them succeed is because a lot of public money is invested in them, and i…

    While I don't use any RIM products personally, the Canadian in me wants to see them turn around this slump and be innovative again.

    Kind of misleading. The webOS engineering team is not leaving, just a few people in the Enyo team.

    Seems like they're doing some major house cleaning on the code. Probably best not to rush it out the door.

    Looks great, just a few little things: * "I am Filip Santa, 19 years old designer from Slovakia" sounds a little strange. Maybe something like "I am Filip Santa, a 19 year old desi…

    He brings up the point of Symbian going open source and having a fallout. I think this is different. Symbian was a old, tired OS that wasn't extremely exciting. webOS has a fairly …

    Enyo is absolutely amazing as a javascript dev framework. Very easy to use and understand, even for someone just starting out with JS and mobile development. In some ways, this was…

    Enyo is most definitely the best mobile development I've ever done. Clean & simple implementation, and I can use the Chrome dev tools to debug.

    Interesting that the author asks the question about how many were sold, and then mentions a few hundred. We already know that at least 5 digit values of TouchPads were sold before …

    "leap"? I think us webOS devs just wanted free hardware to expand our apps beyond webOS, but many still remain (especially in light of all the people with webOS devices over the we…

    I was initially going to stop development and wait, but after hundreds of thousands of potential customers emerged over the weekend, it's full steam ahead. I know it's the same for…

    Touchpads at rock bottom prices, ripe for toying with? Check. An OS (that is known to be compatible) to mod and run on this hardware? Hopefully their next step in this royal screw …

    This is a known issue to HP. It really stinks. The demo units aren't even using 3.0, they're using a special demo build.

    Well, pre-release hardware was pretty hard to come by. I'd imagine performance fixes to the VM image are also coming. Even webOS for phones was sluggish in the VM.

    Thought I should chime in here and say that the video demo is a bit laggy because he's using the Virtualbox emulator of webOS 3.0, which doesn't have the greatest performance.

    The damage is already done. Most of the major distros are switching to LibreOffice in their next versions. I've been advising those with OS X or Windows to follow suit.
