WebOS Suggestion​s for HP Palm

I'm a big fan of webOS so I want HP Palm to succeed.  I have a few suggestions that hopefully will help in that regard.  You've already heard common suggestions like releasing better hardware with HD displays and 4G speeds so I won't repeat those.  Hopefully these are unique...
The first suggestion is to utilize Wi-Fi Direct.  The Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer specification allows Wi-Fi devices to talk to each other without the need for an access point.  This means I could wirelessly send a document from my Palm Pre to a coworker's Palm Pre without an internet connection.
HP Palm is better positioned than anyone else to utilize Wi-Fi Direct.  What about HP printers running webOS with Wi-Fi Direct?  Now I can walk up to any HP printer, find it through a Wi-Fi Direct application on my Palm Pre phone, and print my document all without an internet connection!
The final two suggestions are to remove some artificial limitations that I think are hurting HP Palm more than they realize.  And for no good reason!  I've seen many posts on these issues and I suspect there are lots of customers who include them in their reasons for considering other OSes.
The first limitation is the browser image size limitation.  I know this limitation is artificial.  I can only suspect that the carriers require this?  But Android devices do not have this limitation.  Why not push for the same deal Google has with the carriers and remove this limitation?
The second limitation is the lack of autonomous GPS.  I know this limitation is artificial too.  Once again this may be a carrier requirement.  But Android devices do not have this limitation either.  So why not push for the same deal Google has with the carriers and remove it?
The first two suggestions are extremely important to the majority of your customers but I'll admit that the last one may not be.  I included that because I'm a hiker who would like to have one device for both communication and standalone GPS on hikes with no cellular signal.
I don't even care if the standalone GPS isn't very accurate.  Close is better than nothing when you're lost on a hike!  And the fact that it is supported in hardware but is artificially turned off even though Android phones have it turned on just seems like a wasted opportunity.
So I hope these suggestions help.  And I hope they make it to someone in HP Palm that can do something about them.  I personally think that they will contribute significantly to the success of HP Palm.  I know they would definitely keep me on board!
Thanks for listening...

I just realized that some people who read about Wi-Fi Direct might be asking "why not just use Bluetooth?"  Bluetooth is a low power consumer and that is great for mobile.  But it also limits the distance and speed at which this protocol can operate.
Wi-Fi has current and proposed specifications that permit greater distances and speeds.  The benefits I see here are having a consistent protocol for non-cellular communication and the obvious benefits of communicating at greater distances and speeds.
Portable gaming devices already use peer-to-peer Wi-Fi for multiplayer gaming.  This permits gamers to search and discover other gamers say at a football stadium while waiting for halftime.  It also permits practical things like sending files to devices you aren't standing directly in front of.

  • Flash for the Palm Pre

    Now that flash is on general release where do I go to download the Palm Pre version?

    It seems any post or forum that Adobe doesn't like gets "frozen" out when discussing Flash for the Palm Pre.  The missing Palm Pre Flash and the "shift of blame" by Adobe to Palm has been a common theme  (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2748422#2748422 as an example) is becoming tiresome.
    Yet if you ask Palm they tell you its nothing to do with them, why would it be?  That is such a silly dead-end statement that I suspect Adobe are far to embarrassed by what's actually happened.  If they want to prove me wrong then how about they release the flash to me rather than Palm?  LOL now, there's a novel idea!
    I suspect this has something to do the popular rise of Android, an operating system for mobiles that was still in design when webOS for Palm Pre was already established.  It appears, and no one denies, that the demo on the Palm Pre, you know the one, the one that made us all go out and get the Palm instead of the iPhone, was an iphoney.
    We have been duped.
    While much of the web relies on Adobe technology at the moment the end of their business cycle is in site, not just HTML 5, but sentiment in general.  The lack of respect, clarity, accountability and honesty in the main to blame.

  • Retail sources for new Palm Centro (Verizon?)

    I recently lost my Palm Centro (Verizon), and would like to replace it with another Palm Centro.  Unfortunately, it no longer seems to be avaiable from either Palm or Verizon.  Does anyone know of a retail (not eBay) source for the Palm Centro (Verizon) that is not excessive in price (i.e., over $100?).  I am hoping to locate a new one.  Thanks.

    You are looking for a discontinued model, so your sources are pretty much limited to after-market places such as eBay.  I doubt very much that you will find any new ones at any traditional retail outlets.

    I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

    Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

  • Suggest BAPI for change notification IW52

    Hi,
    Kindly suggest BAPI for change notification IW52.
    Regards,
    Tanaya

    How to find function module or Bapi for particular transaction in sap?
    If you mean that you need to know what BAPI's a particular tranx uses, which I can only assume that's what you mean, then you should access the code behind the transaction and search for 'CALL'. That normally is the standard method that think that most people use. 
    Suppose you want to find the bapi for creating a sales order, you usually use transaction VA01 for this. 
    1. Find out the package of the transaction. 
    Start Va01 go to system --> status. 
    Double click on transaction 
    Package is VA 
    Open this package in SE80 
    Open business engineering-->Business object types 
    Find the BO which sounds the most appropriate 
    I would suggest BUS2032 Sales Order 
    Double click. 
    Open methods. 
    Find the released method with from data or something similar in the name 
    , Createfromdat2 
    Position the cursor in it and click the program button 
    Scroll down to find the bapi used in this method 
    With this way you can also find out programs and FM's 
    2. Start va01 go to system-->status 
    Double click transaction VA01 
    Double click on package 
    Read the application component. (this is SD-SLS Sales) 
    Then open the transaction BAPI 
    Sales and distribution>Sales>sales order 
    createfromdat2 
    Answer: This is  the BAPI for your mentioned   transaction code BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.
    thanks,

  • Finding 3.0.1 CD for Desktop (Palm III-e) older desktop

    I am looking for a CD for installing the Desktop Software for a Palm IIIe.  I need version 3.0.1
    I downloaded the version 4.1.4 but it is a step backward and isn't easy to read at all, no color looks good,
    gridlines in the calendar are nearly invisible and overall I think it is a step backward from the older one.
    Does anyone know how to find the 3.0.1 CD ?

    Unfortunately that software is no longer supported and provided by us. If you want to have this older software you would need to look at places such as eBay or craigslist.com

  • Can I create a java app for my palm zire 71 that uses floating point calc

    I am an eclipse user that is looking at studio creator 2 and was wondering if I could create a java app for my palm zire 71. I have read alot about no floating point support in midp... is that true for java on the palm? If so, how does one calculate with floats and doubles to do sqrt functions etc?
    Thanks in advance for your time
    Dean-O

    I looked at netbeans and it does not support floating points in midlets. Not good for palm app if no floating point ability. J2ME supports floating point but in netbeans... is uses midlets and there are no floating points. Now what does one do? Not that dreaded C++
    THanks in advance

  • Protools Suggested Tweaks For Mac Performance

    Anyone got any experience of the pro tools suggested tweaks for mac performance e.g turning off Dashboard and Spotlight in terminal and so on. They are found on the DUC forum. I use mainly Logic 8, but occasionally Protools LE. I am trying to squeeze as much juice out of my early MBP as possible so have used them. Any thoughts. Any known issues for Logic.
    See my other post re eSATA etc, also any advantages putting apple loops and extra audio content on external eSATA with BFD etc?
    Thanks,

    Turn OFF Airport, if you have wireless internet.
    Run Logic by itself e.g. don't run email, safari, videogames, unix console, Word, etc... at the same time. This goes for ANY DAW platform.
    Printing effects when you have commited to them, ie if you have a CPU hungry plugin, print it as soon as you're done editing the MIDI / or audio performance. then remove the plugin.

  • Any suggested patches for CF9 communicating with SHA2

    Hi. We are still running CF9 and have noticed that HTTPS calls to web services using the newer SHA2 algorithm fail. It appears that CF9 cannot support SHA2. Does anyone have a suggested patch for this issue. Obviously we need to upgrade to CF11, but that will take a couple weeks. Looking for an immediate work-around. We have two installations of CF9 - one enterprise and one standard edition. Any ideas?

  • Changing OS for my Palm TX

    I've been using my Palm TX with my PC for a number of months. Now, I'm thinking about getting rid of my PC (finally) and using the Palm with my Mac.
    If I do this, will I be erasing all the data in my Palm when I sync it with the Mac?
    And if I want to, can I sync with the Mac and PC? I have a PC at work and I may need to use BOTH OS's with my Palm.
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I'm not trying to poke you in the eye here, but when you ask, "…what is a conduit?" my reaction is that you have a lot of reading to do! If you don't know what a conduit is at this point, then you're going to run into severe and insurmountable problems with enabling synchronization.
    I would start with documentation for the Palm Desktop, likely bundled for Mac OS X on the install CD-ROM provided in the package with your handheld organizer. Read that thoroughly and be sure that you understand it before you install the Palm Desktop and attempt to configure it and synchronize with it.
    And be sure that if you decide to use either iSync or the Missing Sync for Palm OS that you thoroughly read and understand the documentation available for them, as the documentation for the Palm Desktop—and the synchronization technology it describes—have very little to do with either of these applications. iSync and the Missing Sync for Palm OS are very different applications, and little of what is described for iSync is applicable to the Missing Sync.
    There is nothing 'plug and play' about the Sync Services framework. It is a complex construct, and you can easily and irreversibly damage or destroy your data records if you don't know exactly what you are doing.

  • Compressing for the Palm Pre

    I was wondering if anyone knew what was the optimum codec to use for the Palm Pre. Is it basically an iPhone?

    It uses H.264 so the iPhone presets should work on it.

    So slow?  Sorry you feel this way.  Most folks feel 3 updates in month's time is pretty good for a brand-new device with a brand-new OS...
    I'm guessing the issue is a bit more complicated than just changing a few bytes of code...  Update 1.1 is on it's way, and is rumored to have EAS fixes in it.

    What you need to look for is that the charger is an "international" model. With that model, you can use the different interchangeable plugs that are supplied for each country that requires a different plug and voltage.
