Palmâs webOS installed and running on old Dell laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| Old used laptops are usually paired with old
| operating systems like Windows XP or some
| GNU/Linux variant. But for those of you who
| want to try out something completely
| different, check out Palmâs webOS.
|
| No, I have not gone crazy or fallen victim to
| a typo of some sort. Palmâs mobile operating
| system on the Pre and Pixi has been found to
| be capable of running on an old Dell laptop.
| See the image below for some introductory
| proof.

| Well, what have we here? A friendly
| tipster, who just so happens to be a
| registered Palm developer, has sent us the
| latest informational email from the
| recently-swallowed outfit, and while the
| tone here may be gentle, the implications
| are certainly serious. According to the
| memo, a new webOS update is "coming soon,"
| and developers are being alerted that
| they'll need to be prepared to test their
| apps when it hits.

HP Buying Palm, Might Make a webOS Tablet

Does HP + Palm = Facepalm?
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, the good news for open source is
| that it doesn't really matter whether HP's
| move proves deeply wise or totally witless.
| Both Android and webOS have Linux at their
| heart, and both use additional free
| software (that found in the latest webOS
| includes ALSA and webkit elements.) In that
| sense, the lifeline that HP has thrown to
| Palm and hence webOS is good news: more
| resources will be expended on making key
| parts of open source better.

A brief history of Palm
,----[ Quote ]
| The PalmPilot is credited with popularizing
| the personal digital assistant, or PDA. And
| it was the device that established the
| basic form factor that later smartphones
| would use. After earlier attempts by Apple
| and others, Palm proved there was a market
| for a third category of portable computing
| device, something more than a cell phone
| but less than a laptop.

Quick guide to webOS
,----[ Quote ]
| webOS itself is a Linux-based operating system
| but with Palm designed components on top of it.
| It gives it a rather curious mix of open source
| foundations and very effective proprietary guts
| at the same time, and the result is an agnostic
| way of integrating your social networks and
| other forms of communication. It's the default
| and entirely locked-in operating system for the
| Pre and will also be at the heart of the Palm
| Pixi which we'll probably see before the end of
| the year.
