No. And yes/yes.

This is one of the most exciting threads on the board. I kept having a feeling that WebOS was going to be highly skinnable and that it'd be a nice middle ground between the Touch Focused UI of the iPhone and the highly customizable one of WinMo.

Love the start of a real today screen. Now if only we could get a "Dashboard"-esque effect from Palm where we can press a button to make the cards vanish/go transparent and reappear.

Well I'd love to do some testing when you release the alpha, but I'm always a bit of a troll and don't have enough posts to PM. I did get my pre Sunday, and I'm seriously missing a home screen with all my information on it like I had on my HTC Touch.

One thing, I read that it updated the weather every 10 minutes? Isn't that a bit much? I would think every hour would be plenty, and save the battery since typically having the phone connect for data all the time can really drain a lot. Plus this would probably be a program that is on all the time. Just a thought.

Keep up the great work. Looks Gorgeous!

Love the RSS and extra icons

Pupator · 07/07/2009, 11:02 AM

I'd be interested in testing this as well. I've got lots of alpha/beta experience and can install the app without being babysat. Even if that doesn't work out I'm looking forward to the apps release!

joek71 · 07/07/2009, 11:03 AM

How do you install it? Do i have follow the instructions from the other posts with sdk and virtual Pre? Or did Palm release a installation guide?

dkotoric · 07/07/2009, 11:45 AM

hey I would love to have the 6 apps for the quicklaunch and also where can I get that background.
Thanks

koxler · 07/07/2009, 03:27 PM

The_lane · 07/07/2009, 03:43 PM

+1 I would like to just mod my quick launch to show 6 icons instead of five. If you have the source code for that could you release it?

THanks!

Omg i cant wait, palm should pick you up for help in development of os

dhMassacre · 07/07/2009, 06:52 PM

How do we get access to the closed alpha/beta testing you speak of on your site?

areyes163 · 07/07/2009, 07:07 PM

Keep up the good work. I plan on donating to help your cause. I just hope it is easy to install without rooting when your done. Good job though. Its exciting to see whats posible to do with this device.

SirataXero · 07/07/2009, 09:01 PM
