Oh how I can't wait for February when I can "click on the player above" while on my Pre.
I'm counting down the days.. Oh how my girlfriend loathes me.. :)
This is my favorite three mobile phones or the middle of that! I have used it to play the game of Gaia Online, the speed is very fast!
You guys with your constant talk of main devices and secondary devices are starting to lose me. I have exactly one device. I *think* (but could be wrong) that most people have only one device. How much different would your experiences with WebOS devices be, if you didn't have some other device to use as a fallback when WebOS couldn't do what you wanted? I suspect that it would still be frustrating, but slightly less so because you could still accomplish what you needed in some other way. But for those of us with only one device, we don't have a backup. We have to live without that feature.
After 7.5 mos of living without features that we'd gotten accustomed to on other platforms, I suspect that results in a substantive difference in perspective on the devices. Imagine if you had no way (at all) to search your calendar for 7.5 months. Or no way to capture a video. Or you couldn't make voice activated call from your car for 7.5 months! Doesn't this have to change your perspective a little bit?
What do you think?
As for the Microphone API in 1.4 or not... they have to have SOME kind of framework for it. The video camera is going to capture sound, or at least I hope so. That means that the API may be there, but not quite accessible yet.
Still, it could be a sign.
Where can i get the qr barcode app?
I'm looking for it too! Can't find it through the means they mentioned in podcast?
