Users / Orbiter on Palm Pre (WebOS)

« on: April 12, 2009, 01:55:24 am »

Guys,

Food for thought....I know the answer is that the phone and OS has not been released but do you think it will work as an orbiter?

(trying to ditch my wm6 phone)

WebOS seems to be linux based and capable of running C++ and Java applications.

Users / 8.1 question?

« on: January 29, 2009, 04:21:54 am »

Hi,

A friend of mine just showed me the MCE video. I am amazed.

He also said that to achieve all the features shown would take a lot of effort but that a relatively simple system is quite achievable. He also commented that I might wish to wait until the 8.1 version is out.

With the understanding that it is a community project and that it will be ready only when it is ready and not before.

Is there a ballpark ETA? Even if there is no target ETA, Does anyone remembers how long it took to go from the first alpha to a release candidate?

I ask this question because I recently bought hardware to build a W#$%$## MCE and for what I have researched the motherboard does not work very well with 7.1 but works well on 8.1.

Thus, I want to evaluate waiting vs. buying a new one.

I would appreciate any help as I have very little Linux experience and would like to face the least amount of hassles.

Thanks

Zacatlan.
