Why You Should Develop WebOS Apps for the HP TouchPad

[InvisiMan2006]

Wow, HP actually wants us to hack our devices?  Does it still void the warranty that all other manufacturers do?

[Craigoryi]

@InvisiMan2006 definitely not, they fully support the homebrew community!

[TommyBNSF]

Why should you develop? It's Awesome!  It's Super! We Love it! It's gonna revolutionize the whole tablet industr.... Oh wait, it's dead.

[WeirdoTheater]

The HP guy looks kind of like Gordon Freeman. Doesn't sound like I'd imagine him to though

[dbmarquand]

THAT GUY SOUNDS SO UNBELIEVABLY GAY

[KingKoreSpeedcore]

I love companies that have a lot of opensource support.

[mikethedj4]

@TheTrueTechCentury Where can I get the emulator? I wanna see if my apps will work on the TouchPad

[stri8ted]

@mikethedj4 developer.palm.com download the SDK. It comes with the emulator

[tcpsolid]

the one good thing is that hp inclined for you to be able to apply ur ideas and hacks easily without restraint because they feel that the device is yours. And a hp tablet with a linux kernel? the only thing that couldve made this better is hp making the ram 4 gb or more 1 gb isnt enough 2 gets the job done 3 works fine but 4 6 8 and 12 make the computers and tablets godlike. we need more ram in these devices thats always been the reason why devices dont work so well. that and hard drive space

[thedailyxoom]

thank you HP, for redefining the standard in opensource

[ryan4888]

I own the Pixi. I can honestly say.... Its the worst phone ever. Its like using a really old PC with Windows 7. Its so slow, and constantly restarts because its overloaded. I really like the OS... But i feel that Palm made some really poor decisions.

[wax147]

webos in spanish means eggs xd

[Certain]

That OS looks extremely crisp and responsive. Hmmmm. Now I want one.

[icicle1906]

@Certain Go get it!!!  It's great!!!

[Namenloser08]

the os looks sweet

[gax8627]

mas putooooo

[SqeakyGoldfish]

@TheTrueTechCentury It sounds like the Web OS apps could be run in a modern Internet browser. If that is so, then they are web pages... I think...

[icicle1906]

@SqeakyGoldfish webOS will be running on PCs by the end of the year per HP. They are "like" web pages.

[technologyinffo]

I am now working on a app for HP. Thinks for the video!

[TechNick1]

An advanced 3D game... like Space Invaders.

[CRICILUS]

sweet....hummmm.....yes



[lebaanul75]

Wow. Its very cool. Of course a lack of apps might make you think otherwise. I'm assuming that's why you made this video.

[plotikai]

less than 500 sold world wide since launch, well on its way to beating the ipad

[Supralobe]

WebOS is great and it's such a green field for developers. iOS is still the platform of choice because of the potential market capacity but hopefully that will change. The problem with iOS is you need a mac/hackintosh to develop. WebOS is all about open standards. Look at Sencha Touch if you're a developer.

[alanw516]

Wait until iPad 3... It'll pwn all of the other tablets...

[Jallandhara]

@alanw516 Are you implying that the iPad 2 currently doesn't?

[icicle1906]

@alanw516 Wait until TouchPad2. It'll pwn all of the other tablets!! See how easy that was to say? :)

[HenricMaverick]

HP touchpad is very slugish for being a tablet man

[Khalduknight]

Interesting. I actually didn't know that HP was allowing free development on their WebOS platform, especially with the fact that the new HP TouchPad is essentially a fully hackable device to throw test codes/kernels/etc... in. I'll jump into the developers program for WebOS in a few days. Looking forward to it.

[HardcoreGamerAus]

LINUX!!!!!!!!

[kakashi02saidHOTKOF1]

iOS FTW



[bozotheclown9]

that guy sounds so gay lol

[WeirdoTheater]

That guy looks kinda like Gordon Freeman. Tell me I'm not the only person to notice this...

[RaPiiDHUNT3R1]

Yeh but where's Cydia :(

[silasviris]

lol @ their advanced 3D game.

[SqeakyGoldfish]

So... Web OS applications are web pages? Fucking hell!

[lockergnome]

@SqeakyGoldfish - They've come a long way since 1995.

[Toedoog]

WINDOWS 8 TAB YEAAAAH.

[VaryGeek]

Frankly, I would like to keep the web to Google and OS's with Apple and Microsoft (more so Apple).

[mikethedj4]

Wait! There's an emulator?

[Garyyx24]

Still don't like HP LOL 

[lockergnome]

@Garyyx24 - Are you on team Voldemort, then?

[Garyyx24]

@lockergnome no, team EMPIRE AVENUE :D 

[ktchong]

@lockergnome WebOS is dead. HP has just killed off -- i.e, will no longer produce -- WebOS phones and touchpad.

It's the first casualty of the smartphone/touchpad war.

Next to die: Windows Phone OS.

Prediction: In the end, only iPhone/iPad and Google Android will remain. Everything else will be competed out of the market.

[WATSONMUTH]

@ThePnFrank absolutely correct  Its a Popularity Contest

[ianmolt]

Why you should develop for iOS?

??????

MONEY!!!!!

[lockergnome]

@ianmolt - Little fish, big pond.

[mrgeekygeek]

@lockergnome As an Apple dev, I can say that you would be surprised.

[jacobbubble2]

@lockergnome What about Android? Large user base and not as many apps as IOS wouldn't you think it has less competition and more of a market?

[bood3e]

thats no 3d game

[WakingLife55]

@bood3e The 16 bit space invaders were coming right at your face! How didn't you notice??

[chris8sirhc]

@bood3e i may not be 3d but it sure is advanced. gaming has not changed at all over the years

[TheDjWMD]

im liking the fact that its Linux based. bet you could get ubuntu installed on it then the possiblities would be endless

[oldlyswansea]

@TheDjWMD i would pay to see that

but i'd think you'd need some more power under the hood at least 1GB of ram at most

but if you were to put ubuntu onto the HP phones that would be funny

[grandmasterhack]

H.tmlP.rograming? lol anyways they got me on board as a dev! now to get the money...... #fml

[mariokid2115]

@lucatechxx webos is so buggy and slow on the touchpad and until they fix it im going with. Ios and android - webos.

[xs1ner]

No thanks. Gonna develop apps for iOS and Android.

[AppMagnet]

@tetw2010 no, but I bet you would ;)

[Tetw2012]

@AppMagnet you'd like that, wouldn't you?

[lucatechxx]

@ThePnFrank just kidding, i dont have a problem with IOS. WebOS is just better and HP gives you the password to ROOT it. yeah good job Apple.

[itouchhacker241]

i dev with html and use it on anything i want

[CoreCyan]

I'm starting to like HP.

[lucatechxx]

@CoreCyan So am I. Linux FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jakeludington]

@Worfox1 I certainly like that approach better than marginalizing users who want to extend their device the way Apple does with iOS and their stance on jailbreaking.

[vmxrm85]

oh alright

[vjortega43]

WEbOS SUCKS

[lucatechxx]

@vjortega43 Thats because you can't understand what Linux is and you like Apple's close source B.S

WebOS > IOS 

[lockergnome]

@vjortega43 - Have you actually used it?

[vjortega43]

@lockergnome Yes But I Can't Think Your Replyed!!!!!!!!!

[Jallandhara]

@lockergnome He's like 11, bro. He hasn't use anything more advanced than a speak and spell.

[BrandurJustinussen]

@vjortega43 You suck.

[jacobbubble2]

@vjortega43 I am an android fan and I have to say its not that bad. I still prefer Android.

[lucatechxx]

because its Linux!!!!!!!!!! DUH

[jakeludington]

@Worfox1 Most of the tablet computers make it pretty easy to restore to factory settings.
