Here’s an unlikely scenario: say you’ve been using a PalmOS device for all these years. Never mind how you managed to miss just about every modern operating system — maybe you work in an industry that standardized on it or you didn’t have an upgrade credit for six years — what do you do when […]]]> https://techcitement.com/hardware/smartphones/whats-a-webos-user-to-do-part-1/ https://techcitement.com/hardware/smartphones/whats-a-webos-user-to-do-part-1/#comments Thu, 07 Jun 2012 20:45:13 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=11614

I’m a diehard webOS user. My TouchPad is my daily workhorse, and I love the thing. Until a few weeks ago, I was still using my Palm Pre+ (hacked to run on Sprint). However, a recent contract change added Sprint’s $10 data access fee. As much as I love my Pre, I am not not […]]]> https://techcitement.com/hardware/smartphones/whats-a-webos-user-to-do-part-1/feed/ 1 https://techcitement.com/hardware/smartphones/dozens-rejoice-as-hp-details-plans-for-open-source-webos/ Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:58:42 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=8064

When HP announced that they’d make webOS open source, they neglected details of any kind. Instead, we got the usual “in the coming months” vagueness, the sort of thing that helped bring webOS to the strong market presence it has now.   Color me surprised, because today HP released a detailed road map for their […]]]> https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/new-york-times-article-on-webos-fails-almost-as-badly-as-webos/ https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/new-york-times-article-on-webos-fails-almost-as-badly-as-webos/#comments Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:27:57 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=7413

I really don’t want to become That Guy — the kind of guy who rails on and on about the superiority of his niche or failed tech (see: Betamax, DiVX disks, Newton PDAs, etc). But it’s hard to keep from doing that after reading the article titled “In Flop of H.P. TouchPad, an Object Lesson […]]]> https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/new-york-times-article-on-webos-fails-almost-as-badly-as-webos/feed/ 3 https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/why-im-not-typing-this-on-a-touchpad/ https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/why-im-not-typing-this-on-a-touchpad/#comments Thu, 07 Jul 2011 20:36:53 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=1253

I love HP’s WebOS. I love the smooth multitasking, the great apps, the PIM solutions, the card metaphor, and pretty much  everything else. It’s easy for me to talk for hours about how great the platform is and how it deserves wider attention. I can pontificate about having actual access to my filesystem and being […]]]> https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/why-im-not-typing-this-on-a-touchpad/feed/ 1
