Apr 03 15:22:08 <mocker> Any recommended first steps with Palm Pre 2 that I should know?  Have one coming in the mail today (main phone broke and wanted to try out webos).
Apr 03 16:13:23 <DrOwl> mocker: if its not been done already you will need a patch for the WebOS Sorftware shop
Apr 03 16:13:35 <DrOwl> The Cert expired!
Apr 03 16:13:42 <DrOwl> and Install Preware
Apr 03 16:13:48 <mocker> Haha, wonderful.
Apr 03 16:14:33 <mocker> Is the factory Pre 2 OS usually the latest, or should I look into installing OS upgrade?
Apr 03 16:14:37 <DrOwl> http://www.webos-internals.org
Apr 03 16:16:07 <DrOwl> mocker: im not sure what version come on the Pre2, i would guess if its a totaly new one it would be nice to update it
Apr 03 16:18:28 <DrOwl> http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:MetaDoctor is your friend
Apr 03 16:20:21 <mocker> That's for if I decide to upgrade the OS, right?
Apr 03 16:20:35 <mocker> I'd seen it while googling around, but wasn't sure if it was just to upgrade the OS.
Apr 03 16:21:34 <DrOwl> thats right
Apr 03 16:21:40 <DrOwl> you do not have to update
Apr 03 16:22:05 <DrOwl> if you are happy as is, Preware is your friend for "open apps"
Apr 03 16:22:26 <DrOwl> its the comunity based app catalog
Apr 03 16:22:42 <DrOwl> and even still gets updates now and again =)
Apr 03 16:23:24 <mocker> Cool, think I got it.  WebOSQuickInstall is just for getting preware stuff easily, or does it update OS as well?
Apr 03 16:24:11 <DrOwl> its like an off phone version of preware
Apr 03 16:24:44 <DrOwl> you will need the "NovaTerm" stuff for it to run =)
Apr 03 16:25:47 <mocker> Should be fun to play around.
Apr 03 16:25:57 <mocker> Thanks for the info.
Apr 03 16:26:09 <DrOwl> No Problem,
Apr 03 16:26:27 <DrOwl> Come back there are people with far more knolage then me in here
Apr 03 16:27:01 <mocker> I'm surprised to find this many people in the channel.
Apr 03 17:31:20 <dwc-> mostly idlers
