Re: Palm WebOS on N900
 

Nevermind, for me (after living with it since October) webOS is mostly worthless, but good luck :D

Re: Palm WebOS on N900
 

Meanwhile on Hacker News goes on a discussion about what is worth stealing from WebOS... I'm not sure many of the features originate from it - we can easily recognize some of them or better in Fremantle/Harmattan and even further back in Diablo :)

Re: Palm WebOS on N900
 

I would say it is quite nice, especially on big tablet screens and with a few Preware hacks. The main WebOS hurdle in my option is proper support for real GUI toolkits, like Qt. Things might be moving in the right direction though. :)

How worthless? Don't you wanna have Angry Birds HD which's free?! :)

Re: Palm WebOS on N900
 

I doubt angry birds is JavaScript. I presume it's native just.like Rio (who plays already on our N900)

Re: Palm WebOS on N900
 

That's not what I'm thinking about.
the App €atalog is enyo based. If I manage to run the app catalog I cen the touchpad apps which are free (such as AB HD)

Re: Palm WebOS on N900
 

Games are not Enyo based, they use the PDL libraries (SDL based) and are native binaries.

Re: Palm WebOS on N900
 

Worthless as in:

Some games are nice, but... i just need a DAMN desktop-like browser with proper LastPass etc. integration (aka Opera or whatever), and good DLNA support with multiple container and codec formats supported!

EDIT:
And since when is advanced Browser free? Or do you mean shitty Angry Birds? Aren't you bored of that game after it is available for some loooog time now, for multiple platforms?

Re: Palm WebOS on N900
 

I mean Angry Birds. It's just an example. There are still some apps, which are free and I'd like to see 'em on N900 (such as chess.com)

This would make all the apps from WebOS available for Maemo.

This I know ;) . I repeat: if we have the enyo app catalog, we can get the free PDL games and apps! Maybe with a bit of effort hybrid apps too

Re: Palm WebOS on N900
 

Porting the app catalog is a real b*tch :)

I tried porting some apps instead. And you know what? No errors thrown. But it ain't that great :)

I tried with the chess.com app, v1.0.1.
Link's here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=14

My steps:
1. Download webos Doctor for Pre 1
2. unpack it, symlink to /usr/palm, for example
3. unpack chess.com app, so that com.chessdotcom.chess folder is in /usr/palm/applications/
4. run index.html in your favorite browser with web console (chromium or firefox tested)

And what's the problem? Nothing's the problem! In the windows nothing is shown.

What's strange, there are no errors reported. As I've seen, there are lots of htmls in app/views, but I'm not eager to put them all by hand. If it's the only choice: alright ;)

Have you got an idea, why nothing's shown & no errors are thrown??
