May 25 03:11:49 i'll let you know when i finish one :-o May 25 03:12:32 i think you just have to confirm a paypal acct - but they wont take any $ unless you want a paid app May 25 03:12:54 but here i'm just talking out of my ... May 25 03:13:00 What if you don't have a PayPal account...? :P May 25 03:13:20 then you cant get those great deals on ebay May 25 03:13:34 BigBiff: there's no excuse for not learning cookies... May 25 03:13:59 ya well, i um, err May 25 03:14:24 i've been busy? May 25 03:15:17 sugardave: i've gone over the sample code, just havent tried to implement it yet May 25 03:15:36 i've spent more time on php/sql as of late May 25 03:16:11 yeah, just messing with you...I went all the way to sqlite before looking at cookies, and I've still never done any depot May 25 03:16:20 which reminds me - i havent said this yet today May 25 03:16:26 php is stupid May 25 03:16:31 So much for my webOS app :( May 25 03:16:52 oh George_e, it's time to get in bed with PayPal May 25 03:17:11 :P May 25 03:17:11 George_e: I hate PayPal, but I still have an account May 25 03:17:29 I don't need one. May 25 03:17:40 * except for this! May 25 03:18:08 I don't want to earn money... so requiring an account is stupid to say the least. May 25 03:18:26 sugardave will give you his account number, no worries May 25 03:18:35 heh May 25 03:18:36 hehe May 25 03:19:05 George_e: so then you're limited to homebrew distribution May 25 03:19:09 not horrible May 25 03:20:11 I know you're gonna hate what I say next... May 25 03:20:27 maybe May 25 03:20:36 Time to visit android.com May 25 03:20:36 more likely that I won't care :P May 25 03:20:58 good luck getting a webOS app accepted there May 25 03:21:03 android - a loving, welcoming community May 25 03:21:31 it's like a big brother, big sister, family atmosphere May 25 03:22:09 hehe May 25 03:22:14 sugardave: No,no,no. I'm not talking about webOS anymore. May 25 03:22:25 :) <---- evil grin May 25 03:22:56 you know android is all run by robots - i done seen the commercial for it on the picture box May 25 03:24:09 so anyway, filterlists are glitchy May 25 03:24:53 i bet tibfib has a filterlist fix on the forums - i shall search May 25 03:40:36 ok, found one fix May 25 03:40:43 but not the other May 25 04:17:53 Hi May 25 04:47:21 ok I know I am part of the problem but all the tweets about free ringtones is getting out of hand LoL May 25 04:50:39 hi everyone May 25 04:53:43 so here it is lol May 25 04:53:46 http://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=com.jamesharris.musicringtones May 25 04:59:32 are you the creator? May 25 04:59:58 no May 25 05:00:07 the person that reated this could have been on top in downloads if released sooner May 25 05:00:22 but it's an awesome app May 25 05:01:08 well the guy who did it is pretty high up on the paid hot apps May 25 05:02:04 Palm Flash Cards May 25 05:02:40 yea. he seems to be doing ok with webos May 25 05:03:29 he seems to be very skilled May 25 05:03:52 he also does another free app called zip code tools May 25 05:07:02 the other 2 paid apps is digloo and Poker Drops so a total of 5 apps 6 if you count flash cards lite which is the free version of flashcard May 25 05:14:15 later folks, time to hit the hay May 25 05:15:06 nite May 25 06:01:50 ? May 25 06:16:30 Can someone in here help me with a Ajax.Request / Activity problem? May 25 06:30:58 morning May 25 06:31:07 morning May 25 06:31:56 my new app is out, built with ares in 2 hours: http://developer.palm.com/webChannel/index.php?packageid=com.inorbit.migrosfinder May 25 06:32:59 including a little php-webservice May 25 06:34:25 nice ! May 25 09:29:41 hallo noaXess May 25 10:35:24 Is it possible to lower the timeout time on Ajax.request ? May 25 12:46:48 hey hey May 25 12:47:02 i'm searching a patch for contacts, so i can delete all contacts in one step.. any idea? May 25 12:54:58 hi noaXess May 25 12:55:28 hey swisstomcat May 25 12:55:36 have you a solution for my question? May 25 12:56:30 no May 25 13:06:04 unless you muck around with the contacts-database directly May 25 13:14:16 morning all May 25 13:26:59 morning May 25 13:30:08 morning May 25 14:10:42 looks liek somethign is in the works with a tegra chip May 25 14:10:56 huh? May 25 14:11:02 http://blog.laptopmag.com/nvidia-ceo-netbooks-and-tablets-to-meld-hints-at-tegra-powered-webos-devices May 25 14:14:22 interesting May 25 14:14:50 " I think the world will want webOS. I think it’s a fabulous operating system" -> Nvidia CEO May 25 15:01:06 is it possible to add tap-zoom functionality for html to anything other than a webview? May 25 15:01:45 I don't think so May 25 15:02:00 but I'm definitely not the expert on that May 25 15:07:58 is it possible to add html to webview, without it being an actual website? May 25 15:13:22 Chriswebos: nope May 25 15:14:23 sugardave: any way to save data to a file? May 25 15:14:40 download manager will do it, I think May 25 15:14:57 hey, weren't we just talking about this the other day ? :D May 25 15:15:31 aren't you using saveViewToFIle or something like that? May 25 15:15:32 i mean directly from an app (e.g. save "this stuff in the quotes" to a file)...might be...i thought it was swisstomcat...but i've been fighting this for a while :( May 25 15:15:55 no way to write a file from javascript, no May 25 15:16:13 yeah...but saveviewtofile only saves what is visible...so if you wanna save the entire page, it won't work :( May 25 15:16:28 so, i'm gonna have to wait for pdk? May 25 15:16:58 well, it depends on what you are trying to do....you could save the data you're interested in to a db/depot May 25 15:17:25 yeah, but i need it in a file so i can do an openurl with webview May 25 15:17:33 that's not happening May 25 15:17:38 no file:// May 25 15:17:48 or data: URI support May 25 15:18:37 will we be able to save to file in pdk? May 25 15:18:47 most likely May 25 15:19:32 will i be able to call my pdk plugin from my sdk app? May 25 15:20:04 so, why could you not save data to the db, re-construct it as a data URI that you pass to download manager, which then saves a file, then you .openUrl on a relative path from your app May 25 15:20:08 that might work May 25 15:20:37 hybrid PDK/Mojo apps are in the plan, but you can't do it yet, I think May 25 15:20:59 hold up...i might need you might need to explain that download manager thing to me some more May 25 15:21:21 so...download manager wants a URI of some sort May 25 15:21:44 you can take the contents of the web page you're interested in and make it be a data URI of the page (like we talked about the other night) May 25 15:21:57 and then have download manager save that as a file somewhere, I believe May 25 15:22:02 okay May 25 15:22:06 hmmm... May 25 15:22:18 if it's in your app path, then http:relative.html MIGHT work May 25 15:25:06 i guess i need to read up on download manager....i was even thinking of temporarily uploading to a server and then downloading back...it's a definite pain not being able to add html to a webview May 25 15:25:11 isnt there the "cant load local resource" thing thats going to be a problem there sugardave? May 25 15:26:00 Bmyers: you can't load a local html page in the webview? May 25 15:26:02 wtf? May 25 15:26:34 I hate webview now May 25 15:26:37 i dunno. i've just had that error trying to load local stuff b4. perhaps not in this case but i wouldnt be too surprised May 25 15:26:38 that's stupid May 25 15:27:20 writing a custom cloud backend might be easier in the long run. php or something..dunno what exactly he's trying to do May 25 15:27:51 sounds like he wants to write a web page caching app May 25 15:28:08 have you checked out email companion? May 25 15:28:30 MY email companion? May 25 15:28:50 uh...the one in homebrew May 25 15:29:09 have not May 25 15:29:53 well...basically, i'm trying to save the html in a webview for viewing later... May 25 15:30:33 i would be willing to do it in either of two ways: save the html to a file, then do an openurl(file:// htmlfile) later...or directly put the html into the webview May 25 15:30:47
Station 1
Station 2
May 25 15:30:50 whoa May 25 15:30:57 why put it back in webview? May 25 15:31:14 * sugardave waves his hands around. "Don't pay attention to the pasted text." May 25 15:31:16 i want tap/zoom functionality in case the html is too small to read May 25 15:32:28 best bet would be to try it or May 25 15:32:45 find another app that does what you're talking about and look under the covers May 25 15:32:56 to see how its done May 25 15:33:52 sugardave: doesnt even know what window he's in so dont listen to him May 25 15:34:01 that's sage advice May 25 15:34:42 don't know any apps that do any caching of webpages May 25 15:35:19 uh, well, does the builtin browser do it? May 25 15:35:58 it saves a png of the current page but i don't think it saves the html May 25 15:36:17 unless i haven't been using it to its potential May 25 15:38:26 havent looked into it myself to know. i would wonder what would happen if you just spit out the html onto a scene May 25 15:39:11 it won't zoom May 25 15:44:12 rehi May 25 15:45:32 anyone know what is on the horizon for pdk May 25 15:45:41 what kind of apps can one expect May 25 15:46:02 many types of apps May 25 15:46:07 with the new api's May 25 15:46:16 hybrid apps too May 25 15:46:50 hybrid apps? so i'll be able to create a file read/write plugin in pdk, and access via my sdk app? May 25 15:46:58 basically May 25 15:47:10 think of the pdk part as a plugin to your sdk app May 25 15:47:27 when? May 25 15:47:38 summer/autumn they said May 25 15:47:58 that's a while away May 25 15:48:36 i thought pdk would be availble with the next update May 25 15:48:51 but no hybrid apps as far as i heard May 25 15:49:09 *sigh* until summer/autumn? May 25 15:49:28 but quantum teleportation and other stuff :) May 25 15:50:37 summer is not that far off May 25 15:51:06 we'll also get new javascript-based services to access from the sdk (including file i/o) May 25 15:55:29 true...summer isn't far off May 25 15:55:41 but autumn is :( May 25 16:04:25 true May 25 16:07:44 they didn't say what comes first May 25 16:22:25 hey chuqui May 25 16:22:34 howdy! May 25 16:23:13 what's up in palm land today? May 25 16:23:55 who makes a widget that loads web pages but NOT local html resources and/or data URIs? May 25 16:24:02 Palm May 25 16:24:17 ridiculous May 25 16:24:20 hmm? May 25 16:25:07 * oilsworkn guesses webview widget? May 25 16:25:14 yep May 25 16:26:21 is it possible that I have the path incorrect? . = app directory? May 25 16:26:33 yeah May 25 16:26:38 e.g images/bla.jpg May 25 16:26:47 yeah, that's what I thought May 25 16:27:16 not much. May 25 16:27:20 how is http:./views/main/testhtml/test.html NOT a valid URL? May 25 16:27:25 gonna work on upgrading the guts of the blog today. May 25 16:30:25 sugardave: there is no webserver on your phone? May 25 16:30:35 sugardave, try sticking with local filesystem URIs May 25 16:31:08 sugardave, mojo.appPath() reveals the path of the app, so you can concatenate this with your relative directory structure May 25 16:31:09 thalunil: BrowserServer should be responding, but it isn't and unfortunately, file URIs are verboten for WebView May 25 16:31:21 sugardave, i missed that May 25 16:31:34 no service for you May 25 16:31:40 thalunil: yeah, I"m just bitching May 25 16:40:09 what do you want to do? May 25 16:42:55 date question May 25 16:43:09 how do i convert 1973-06-14T01:10:45Z to a date object? May 25 16:45:24 or different question, how do you save a date in a cookie and read it back? May 25 16:48:42 * oilsworkn would do it with a timestamp May 25 16:49:18 hah May 25 16:49:28 I figure out hot to open local .html with webview May 25 16:49:31 what a PITA May 25 16:52:13 oil: save the getTime() value? good idea May 25 16:53:56 swisstomcat: you can do the timestamp. May 25 16:54:13 how? May 25 16:54:29 Math.round(new Date().getTime()/1000.0) May 25 16:54:43 you can just save the timestamp into a cookie...i do it to set a trial period for my app...fairly straightforward May 25 16:54:59 i can paste code if you need May 25 16:55:01 by timestamp you mean the getTime() part of a date object? May 25 16:55:17 getTime is in milliseconds? May 25 16:55:21 hold on... May 25 16:55:25 yeah milliseconds May 25 16:55:31 yeah May 25 16:55:36 hence /1000.0 for a normal timestamp May 25 16:55:37 of seconds May 25 16:56:06 makes sense May 25 16:56:11 let me try May 25 16:56:15 this.stateInfo = this.cookie.get(); May 25 16:56:15 //if the cookie is not available then initialize it. May 25 16:56:15 if (!this.stateInfo) { May 25 16:56:15 trialdate = new Date(); May 25 16:56:15 time = trialdate.getTime(); May 25 16:56:16 time1 = time + 1209600000; May 25 16:56:18 enddate = new Date(); May 25 16:56:20 enddate.setTime(time1); May 25 16:56:24 this.stateInfo = { May 25 16:56:26 date: trialdate.getTime(), May 25 16:56:28 enddate: enddate.getTime() May 25 16:56:30 }; May 25 16:56:32 this.cookie.put(this.stateInfo); May 25 16:56:35 time + 1209600000;? May 25 16:56:45 the above sets a cookie that is checked to allow a 2 week trial May 25 16:56:50 ah May 25 16:56:57 time + 12096... is two weeks of milliseconds May 25 16:57:00 unless ofcourse, they remove and reinstall xD May 25 16:57:11 yeah...will have to do that later May 25 16:57:26 if they're smart enough to do that they're prolly smart enough to hack code anyways May 25 16:57:31 lol May 25 16:57:39 of course obfuscating will make it a little harder May 25 16:58:04 very cool, that works May 25 16:58:06 thanks guys May 25 17:08:06 sugardave: have you checked out this forum topic? http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=5740&start=0 May 25 17:15:07 hello all!

May 25 17:52:36 there are tons of websites that have those 30 second clips free. never heard of any them in legal trouble May 25 17:55:41 for sampling yes, but not for redistributing May 25 17:56:11 artists make $$$$$$$$$ on ringtones May 25 17:56:21 so publishers aren't too keen to give those away May 25 17:56:58 tell itunes to remove those feeds then where anyone could download the clips May 25 17:57:00 http://ax.itunes.apple.com/rss May 25 17:57:24 http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/ws/RSS/topsongs/sf=143441/limit=25/xml May 25 17:57:29 heh interesting May 25 17:57:52 fair game :) May 25 17:58:25 there is an idevice app i think that does the same thing May 25 18:13:42 Chriswebos: thanks for the link, but the PDK is 'meh' to me...first of all, I only know javascript (and very basically at that) AND the PDK doesn't run in Linux (seriously, whose brilliant idea was that?!) May 25 18:14:31 sugardave: it doesn't??? May 25 18:14:35 oh, i thought you were trying to have webview open html as i was May 25 18:14:44 saved html, i mean May 25 18:15:04 Chriswebos: I already did that, but for supplied local html..next part is figuring out how to save from webview to something May 25 18:15:11 pandora--: nope May 25 18:15:17 lawls. May 25 18:15:35 wait...you have webview opening supplied local html? May 25 18:15:49 indeed, but only as a shipping file at the moment May 25 18:16:00 I'm about to work out how to use download manager to make the file May 25 18:16:20 how'd you get it to open local html? May 25 18:16:34 ancient Chinese secret! May 25 18:16:47 hahah May 25 18:16:48 i'm ancient and chinese!! May 25 18:16:55 oh snaps May 25 18:16:55 well, one of those two May 25 18:16:58 I'll be writing it up at some point for webos101, but I want to test the download manager part first May 25 18:17:17 coolness...you've been holding out on me!! May 25 18:17:34 no, I announced it WAY back and then took naplunch :D May 25 18:19:16 i must've missed the announcement...when should we expect webos101 post? May 25 18:20:06 well, first I have to make sure I know how to use download manager...sometime today, I'd imagine May 25 18:21:02 * Chriswebos shakes with excitement May 25 18:31:26 Chriswebos: so, using download manager I can save an HTML response from a server to /media/internal/files/somefile.html, then I can open it in my WebView May 25 18:31:38 the problem appears to be that I cannot then ZOOM in that webview May 25 18:31:42 not sure why that is May 25 18:32:03 but, I can write up the how to do the other part May 25 18:32:11 you're using openurl(file://pathorwhatever)? May 25 18:32:18 not exactly May 25 18:32:26 file: isn't supported May 25 18:32:36 that's what i use to open from a local file...supports zoom...yes it is May 25 18:32:42 well, i use it... May 25 18:32:43 oh really? May 25 18:32:48 yep... May 25 18:32:49 then I'm doing it wrong May 25 18:32:52 let me try with file May 25 18:33:08 or, i may be able to because i'm using com.palm. in my appid May 25 18:33:36 yeah May 25 18:33:49 because when I try it, it automatically appends http:// to the front May 25 18:33:54 which causes big problems May 25 18:34:25 the trick is http://localhost:8080/ May 25 18:34:34 that May 25 18:34:46 that's where BrowserServer is listening for http requests May 25 18:34:49 here's what i have: this.webview.mojo.openURL("file://" + message.textURI); May 25 18:34:50 May 25 18:35:19 message.texturi = path to html file May 25 18:35:46 Chriswebos: I'm curious to know if that works without com.palm as your app id May 25 18:36:24 let me check real quick... May 25 18:38:03 Chriswebos: word May 25 18:38:14 I was trying file earlier and it wouldn't let me May 25 18:38:17 now it appears to May 25 18:38:22 and zoom is working May 25 18:38:26 coolness!!! May 25 18:38:41 it was taking me a while to get that thing set up May 25 18:38:41 now I'm really confused WHY file: is working, but hey May 25 18:39:13 because earlier it was telling me unsupported Mime type or some shit May 25 18:40:15 Chriswebos: so really, all you need then is to use download manager...you point it at the page you want, save it somewhere, then openURL it in your webview May 25 18:40:18 oh, today is #towelday .. did you bring your towel? May 25 18:40:57 * sugardave finds his towel. May 25 18:41:22 but the file i am viewing in the first place is already a local file May 25 18:41:30 ermm.. towel day? May 25 18:41:46 can download manager still download it to a different place? May 25 18:41:51 Chriswebos: now you're confusing me...if it's already local, what is the issue? May 25 18:42:00 http://bit.ly/5B8Eqp May 25 18:42:52 i'm doing stuff with email....email is stored in a local html file. It's opened via webview. i wanna save it to somewhere else for my app May 25 18:42:58 pandora: http://www.towelday.org/ May 25 18:43:26 and for my app to then open it via webview from where i stored it May 25 18:43:53 i could grab the local html file ( i know where it is), but i can't then stuff into webview... May 25 18:44:04 is this why you are in com.palm appspace? May 25 18:44:23 i mean i could grab the html code from the local file, but can't stuff the html in the webview May 25 18:44:24 yep May 25 18:44:43 ah, so this app has NO chance of ever making it to the catalog May 25 18:44:57 i don't want to use their file because they may delete May 25 18:45:05 true...but it's in preware May 25 18:45:11 preware ftw May 25 18:45:38 .openURL('http://localhost:8080/full/real/path/to/file'); May 25 18:45:39 i do hope to charge for it...planning diabolical scheme to have in app catalog or web dist May 25 18:45:41 that's the magic May 25 18:45:58 do that in download manager? May 25 18:46:02 nopr May 25 18:46:05 webview.openURL May 25 18:46:33 i have no problem opening the original email file in webview..that's how i was doing it, and is what i showed you May 25 18:47:00 the problem is the original file may not always be there (ie the person deletes the file) May 25 18:47:22 and also, i want a quicker way of getting to it (so person doesn't have to go through hundreds of emails to find it) May 25 18:47:59 so, that's why i need to grab the email file and store it somewhere else...i have a db that makes it quick and easy to find it May 25 18:48:24 BUT i can't store the file somewhere else until pdk comes out May 25 18:48:25 okay, download manager, save it to another location, then open at will May 25 18:48:32 sure you can May 25 18:48:42 so, just to be sure of steps: May 25 18:48:54 I just copied index.html from a remote host to /media/internal/files May 25 18:49:35 downloadmanager.openurl (http://local:8080/originalemailpath.html) -> save to /media/internal/files (or something similar) May 25 18:49:49 is that what i do? May 25 18:49:49 no, hang on a second May 25 18:50:11 http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1790&Itemid=273 May 25 18:50:28 I used the example as-is and changed the host and filename only May 25 18:50:31 works beautifully May 25 18:52:05 if it's straight html, what is the mime type? May 25 18:52:16 i used txt May 25 18:52:19 wait May 25 18:52:21 hang on May 25 18:52:22 hi May 25 18:52:43 yeah, I used txt (so I changed that, too :P ) May 25 18:52:52 application/txt May 25 18:52:59 application/html might work May 25 18:53:10 (I don't really know much about Web programming) May 25 18:54:03 for someone who doesn't know about web programming, you may have helped me solve something i've been fighting with for weeks... May 25 18:54:21 let me try this out... May 25 18:54:24 I do what I can :D May 25 18:55:20 who needs web programming? May 25 18:55:30 exactly May 25 18:55:46 lol May 25 18:56:07 i use cloud services alot so need to know web programming May 25 18:56:08 hi metaview May 25 18:57:06 mr. swiss May 25 18:58:13 are html and animated gifs considered webd programming, May 25 18:59:31 one of the best web sites of all time http://www.pixyland.org/peterpan/ May 25 19:05:50 oh, those were the times May 25 19:06:18 yeah animated gifs!!

May 25 19:09:19 sugardave: are you still there? when i check the target directory, i'm seeing nothing there...but the download manager is saying success May 25 19:09:43 I dunno... it could have been my backup styff crashing spectaularly again May 25 19:09:48 did you do it to the /media directory? May 25 19:10:37 Chriswebos: yeah, I used /media/internal/files....I think there's something about the onSuccess of download manager, it will return s=even before the file is completed May 25 19:11:00 onComplete is possible, or? May 25 19:11:09 i went back and checked...still nothing May 25 19:11:18 no, you have to do some weird stuff with subscribing, etc. May 25 19:11:36 Chriswebos: what about with an external html that's not the internal email stuff? May 25 19:11:54 hmm...lemme try May 25 19:18:40 worked with a remote file...but i also changed the directory...let me try with the email file to the other directory May 25 19:19:25 Oh bullcrap May 25 19:19:52 E3 Phone spam....

May 26 01:55:18 no it dont...droid keyboard just takes time to get use to May 26 01:55:30 * halfhalo is meeting with razer on june 16th May 26 01:55:38 hey I went from a v9m to a Pre May 26 01:56:04 I'm still trying to figure out why I can use the browser, Ajax request, etc. to open some local .html pretty much anywhere on the phone....but I can't save it with download manager they way you can with ANY external web page May 26 01:56:07 Getting used to the pre keyboard was 10x harder for me than the droid since it was my first keyboard... so I can't really compare the two May 26 01:56:08 what gives? May 26 01:56:34 yea pre keyboard worse than droid May 26 01:56:48 well it was nice once I got used to it\ May 26 01:56:50 new ringtone app is sweet May 26 01:57:36 Verizons pre hardware better than the crap that came out on sprint? May 26 01:58:34 yea May 26 01:58:38 and software May 26 01:58:48 well for the mobile hotspot May 26 01:59:06 Oh.... May 26 01:59:47 I was so pissed when I got home from the 3 sprint stores I went too, I brought my pre home and beat it with a fucking hammer lol May 26 02:00:45 The thin piece near the usb charge port broke off and my usb cover fell out. I took it in and they told me that it was physical damage and they couldn't replace it... May 26 02:01:07 lol May 26 02:01:19 So I took it home and about a week later I noticed a crack moving from the usb to my screen... After a couple weeks the crack went onto my screen and my screen quit responding... May 26 02:01:31 damn May 26 02:01:41 was all this before or after you took the hammer to it May 26 02:02:11 So I called Sprint and they told me to take it into the local authorized repair center so i did and they told me the same shit the other one did prior.. Said it was physical damage and wasnt covered under warranty.. I took it to a third and them bastards told me the same thing... May 26 02:02:33 So I took the thing home and destroyed it with a hammer and went to verizon and got my Droid... May 26 02:03:18 lol May 26 02:03:19 Then I heard the Pre was coming to verizon and I was torn cause I had bought the Droid but really loved WebOS May 26 02:03:24 lmao May 26 02:03:54 But All in all they are both great OSs... Sprint will never get my business again though May 26 02:04:09 u and me both May 26 02:04:14 i hated selling their shit too May 26 02:04:21 ^back in the days May 26 02:05:16 I hate you now if you worked for them :P May 26 02:05:33 I rank Sprint right up there with SallieMae May 26 02:05:50 lol...i rank sprint along with Charter Communications May 26 02:06:01 wtf? who is that May 26 02:06:34 OMG! they are the worse cable/isp company in the world May 26 02:06:41 like a comcast May 26 02:06:45 lol May 26 02:07:15 Waiting for comcast to have cellular service May 26 02:07:18 the one thing i LOVE about Verizon over every other corporate company is that they DONT outsoure their customer service! May 26 02:07:48 I was lucky with sprint.. I usually got people that spoke very good english May 26 02:08:28 Haven't had to deal with Vzw CS yet May 26 02:08:53 90% of the time verizon CS is really good May 26 02:08:54 Then again my Droid don't fall apart while looking at it May 26 02:09:26 they actually know what they are talking about and try to settle the issue right away without pulling a Sprint and transferring you to 9 different reps May 26 02:11:08 what exactly is the web channel? May 26 02:11:41 i mean webfeed May 26 02:12:01 there are some apps not in the catalog but are on what they call a webfeed May 26 02:12:36 rolsworth: palm-web and palm-web-updates feeds in preware May 26 02:12:58 what are they exactly. May 26 02:13:12 why put a paid app in those when they don't show up in the app catalog May 26 02:14:33 it's a way to make apps available without going thru the catalog & Palm's review process. May 26 02:14:36 approval is automated, no need to wait May 26 02:14:48 (only automated security checks are done) May 26 02:16:13 I've found that if you keep telling the Sprint people that you'll wait for their supervisor to get out of the meeting, and call them "Son," they'll give you basically anything you ask for. May 26 02:16:38 lol May 26 02:17:13 Little late for that advice now lol May 26 02:18:26 Definately gonna check out the webos tablets though May 26 02:18:27 It got me a free HTC Hero.

May 26 02:35:58 it took droid almost 2 years to get in the game. Palm still has a chance May 26 02:36:05 yea May 26 02:36:18 yeah if they pull their head out of their ass and use decent hardware May 26 02:36:21 i was thinking palm might be waiting to announce new hardware to not mess up AT&T launch... May 26 02:36:32 if Palm would have put Pre on verizon initially instead of Sprint it would be more popular May 26 02:36:45 no...remember creepy commercials May 26 02:36:46 webos devices will rule the world! May 26 02:36:53 i just hope they don't make a device without a keypad May 26 02:36:54 Atleast they'll have HP's money. May 26 02:36:54 lol May 26 02:37:06 tibfib: thanx...i'll try to pm him May 26 02:37:09 aliens will come to earth to use a webos device! May 26 02:37:19 lol May 26 02:37:22 they should make devices with and without keypads May 26 02:37:37 that could work May 26 02:37:53 i can't use a phone without a keypa May 26 02:37:53 hopefully they'll have a release schedule approaching HTC's with HP's backing May 26 02:37:57 with materials that don't crack when you breathe on them May 26 02:38:11 HTC puts out a new device every month it seems May 26 02:38:28 yea May 26 02:38:28 all running same hardware May 26 02:38:40 Droid incredible, HD2, TP2, new Win7 phones, EVO May 26 02:38:51 HTC = better BB May 26 02:38:54 HTC, has 6 years olds building the phones May 26 02:39:28 iPhone will die soon after all the foxconn people off themselves May 26 02:39:48 There's literally thousands of people that apply for those jobs every day May 26 02:40:01 Yeah well right now they are like lemmings May 26 02:40:15 everyday someone is doing the freefall May 26 02:40:39 Although I wonder if they are being helped by management May 26 02:40:50 does anyone use filterlist or filterfield? May 26 02:41:34 i still hate the fact that i cant download mp3s ota successfully even after applying the patch May 26 02:42:07 on what? May 26 02:42:07 Chriswebos: haven't looked into other solutions for saving files, but looks like that's the answer....I'm still unclear as to why I can look at those email html files in the browser, with Ajax, however in Hell I want to, but I can't make downloadmanager copy it May 26 02:42:33 thats what i miss about my Incredible/Droid, i could dl a fuckin movie to my sdcard and then transfer to comp when i got home May 26 02:42:42 on my pre May 26 02:43:00 why cant you on pre? May 26 02:43:35 it wont work...it always wants to stream instead...when i click download it finishes in seconds and then when i view file its corrupt May 26 02:43:49 sugardave: yeah, makes no sense...i guess there's a security issue we're not seeing May 26 02:44:01 file size is always 0kb so its obviously not dling properly May 26 02:44:02 lol May 26 02:44:06 but, you could upload that file, righ?

I can access every single piece of information from that file otherwise....I just can't make it go into my own webview May 26 02:46:39 certain lovely places May 26 02:46:40 over a 3G connection? May 26 02:46:43 yea May 26 02:46:56 how long that take? May 26 02:47:07 can't make it go into webview?

May 26 02:48:05 lol...i dl at like 300kb/s May 26 02:48:16 usually May 26 02:48:18 never ending movie = http://urloid.com/bp1 May 26 02:48:22 Chriswebos: you can, you just can't copy it to another file and open that May 26 02:48:27 like you were talking about May 26 02:48:47 oh...i misunderstood previous comment May 26 02:49:09 yeah, I'm trying to have 4-5 conversations atm...typing in incomplete thoughts :D May 26 02:49:17 Well I am guessing the Droid2 will be out near end of year.. would be nice to have some decent webos devices to also have as choices... May 26 02:49:30 yea it would May 26 02:49:51 I refuse to purchase another one of the plastic jellybeans May 26 02:49:56 faster for me to download a movie on pc then when ready transfer it to pre wireless May 26 02:50:08 lmao May 26 02:50:13 wish the pre could play xvid videos though May 26 02:50:38 What do you use to transfer wirelessly? May 26 02:50:45 Now I am all ruffled about Sprint lol May 26 02:50:49 STiK: you are right the Pre does look like a black JellyBean May 26 02:50:55 wifi media sync May 26 02:51:05 yea but convenient for me....u can download a 700mb movie at home in less than a minute May 26 02:51:24 Well the pre itself looks pretty cool... WebOS is amazing... May 26 02:51:36 i liek the pre form May 26 02:51:42 yeah me too May 26 02:52:07 But until they raise the quality of their devices I will most likely stick with android devices... May 26 02:52:38 if they make another device i would liek it to be the same form as the pre. would not mind if they increase the screen size just a little May 26 02:52:39 Which really sucks cause like I said... WebOS is very nice... May 26 02:53:29 all my coworkers even at other stores cant understand why i carry a pre plus instead of my Droid or Droid Incredible May 26 02:53:38 lol May 26 02:53:39 all store hate pre/pixi May 26 02:53:45 why May 26 02:54:05 Have they even used them? May 26 02:54:23 cuz they dont know how to use them and love Android million times better. they dont like kb either May 26 02:54:45 cause all they know is android lol May 26 02:54:58 they got android coming out their ears May 26 02:55:19 yea May 26 02:55:22 for me.. webos was much easier to learn that android was May 26 02:56:13 WebOS is more touch friendly May 26 02:56:24 Android has better apps May 26 02:56:35 Android has a lot more functionality May 26 02:56:46 But it's not fair for me to compare android of today to webos cause I don't know how far webos has evolved since I used it... May 26 02:56:59 And in terms of customization, I'd say that Android is a lot better as well. May 26 02:57:38 when I used it, webos was missing alot... seemed unfinished... but what it did have was amazing May 26 02:58:25 I say slap webos interface on top of android.... May 26 02:58:42 Which is why I'm making a card system for Android. May 26 02:59:05 i can't stand android May 26 02:59:14 no GPL code + java = no no for zsoc May 26 02:59:40 java is a boo for me too May 26 02:59:47 I dont get involved in all that like I used to.. I just use what works **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed May 26 02:59:57 2010
