made connectivity with non-HP phones possible

I wonder what that means. Synchronization? Tethering? Notifications about calls and SMS on the device?

For some reason this reminds me of the guy who recently ported Prince of Persia from the Apple 2 to the Commodore 64.

Thanks for the link! Does anyone know if this breaks the 3.0.2 recommended patches (e.g. muffling logging, etc.)

Love one of the anonymous comments on there:

"From one HP employee to another: THANK YOU for this awesome OS and OTA. The Touchpad, the Pre 3 ... such awesome products. I truly hope our new leadership will do the right thing and bring the platforms back."

Word 'round the Precentral forums is that it breaks most patches. Like with all updates, you'll lose custom kernels until the kernel source is released. So I made a list of all the patched I use then removed them along with UberKernel.

I am lucky enough to own a tablet of each breed, and my TouchPad is by far my favorite. Sure there are less apps by an order of magnitude, but HP nailed most of the core services. For example, mark all as read -- I've yet to find this basic feature on my Honeycomb tab or iPad.

The TouchPad can now work as a Bluetooth speakerphone for non-webOS phones that support the right profiles. It can also do SMS access on phones that expose that database.

Yet did HP not announce there would be no more Web OS devices, HP needs to open source this. The more choice the better! I can see Samsung or HTC producing some slick devices running Web OS. Hardware was always a key issue for me, the Pre was slow and boring.

Hi. I don't understand anymore. Didn't HP kill the tablet and WebOS?

What does this mean? Will there new tablets? If not, why WebOS is being updated?
