I have just over one week in the WebOS 2 pre installed on my Palm. Time in which I can make some comments on its operation.
You know: the stack of cards, a good thing. Multi-tasking makes it real. Flash format files can now be seen without problems. Universal search is simply wonderful. The excellent exhibition mode. But that is something that has already been said.
* What is not said is that the device (not pre2) becomes very slow with the new WebOS. The operating system is heavy and of course, not having even a new kernel for this release in the Pre we have to run the machine at 500 MHz This means that some applications are heavy and even answer the phone sometimes turns geneal quite slow. I can award it to this case was used to running my Pre 800MHz and now feel I have a turtle:? .
* The virtual keyboard is a wonder though, freezes the device by the poverty of resources in the RAM. Another detail is that keyboard to turn have to install a patch (already available in Preware) and then do the same movement of virtual dock activation (ie below the gesture area up). So once you have installed the patch for the keyboard and can not use the dock. That for me was the reason that best descactivé. Of course, without having to reboot my Pre because at the time of writing suddenly froze. In this case I think it is more RAM can be solved and if a developer wait until you have found another way to activate it than not using the dock.
* A range of applications still are not fully compatible and show clumsy when trying to power them. For those who used the old Classic apliaciones running the PalmOS, could go say goodbye, because the Classic definitely not running.
* Sometimes the handling of mail may also become clumsy. A bug is already reported and HP already corrected in version 2.0.1
* You can install music from a third party application such as iTunes. At least not yet, which to me is a huge bug because I manage my music from iTunes and now you have to upload your songs as USB mode. In other words, old-school.
* On the navigation is very good indeed, but some cons that I've found is you can not add pages to the initiator and the time does not permit me or add bookmarks. I'll have to see if you need to activate something.
* The message appears again: "Its too open cards" when the RAM is over, but more is an open apliacación. Of course, this only occurs when running a heavy application, otherwise it keeps open between 15 and 20 applications (of course no one has this need me to open five and that much because I'm using). However, I am sure that with a "overclock" would be luxury.
In short, these are some of the details that I found the new HP WebOS. See if in the course of the new versions correct all these details. I am also convinced that with a new kernel many errors can be resolved.
