Jun 10 04:27:16 dohtem: full price? not waiting for devcoupon to happen? Jun 10 04:28:40 hmm... Jun 10 04:34:17 well, assuming it does Jun 10 04:53:34 hello? anyone awake? Jun 10 04:53:46 yep, just had lunch :) Jun 10 04:53:59 lunch? where u? singapore? Jun 10 04:54:14 :) Jun 10 04:54:38 Australia Jun 10 04:55:00 nice, was there about 7 years ago in the navy. Good times on King Cross Jun 10 04:55:12 anyway.. I just acquired a palm plus from att Jun 10 04:55:37 i installed webos quick install as usual.. I tell it to download a them or preware and it does nothing Jun 10 04:55:44 this didn't happen on my sprint pre 1 Jun 10 04:55:48 whats going on? Jun 10 04:56:14 theme Jun 10 04:56:28 i am on windows 7 Jun 10 04:56:49 but i think i had windows 7 in the past and my sprint one still worked just fine Jun 10 04:58:22 you awake, sugardave? Jun 10 04:59:12 hello? Jun 10 04:59:22 can anyone give some advice Jun 10 05:01:31 is there another channel that can help or should i just spam this one Jun 10 05:02:00 seriously, freenode sucks for help, even though it always says come here for assistance Jun 10 05:06:34 did you try rebooting? (phone and/or computer) Jun 10 05:09:35 unfortunately, I can't be of much help... I've only wosqi once. (but it was on win7 if that helps) Jun 10 05:14:30 yeah, ive rebooted both Jun 10 05:14:34 the phone and the computer Jun 10 05:14:50 wosqi acts like its installing b ut it does nothing Jun 10 05:15:01 i remember on my palm 1 from sprint.. Jun 10 05:15:16 if i installed a theme, the pre would flicker or ask me to reboot maybe Jun 10 05:15:23 this palm pre plus does nothing Jun 10 05:15:34 even when it looks like wosqi is installing it Jun 10 05:19:23 is there another channel on freenode that I can get help with this? Jun 10 05:20:04 Darksynz: what webOS version is it running? Jun 10 05:20:12 I bet it's less than 1.4.5 Jun 10 05:21:00 no, i just bought this yesterday and it is exactly 1.4.5 Jun 10 05:21:36 im thinking of going to 2.1 but I dont see why someone just cant come out with a webosdoctor 2.1 instead of doing all the linux stuff Jun 10 05:21:46 and having me install another linux paritition Jun 10 05:22:16 a little thing called copyright law is why Jun 10 05:22:37 why do you need another linux partition? Jun 10 05:24:04 Darksynz: the instructions don't have Windows instructions? Jun 10 05:24:34 no, the wiki page says to install wubi to do what you need to install 2.1 on a pre plus Jun 10 05:24:46 and quite frankly, I dont need 2.1 right now. Jun 10 05:25:00 i just want to add some plugins to my phone and theme it Jun 10 05:25:15 and wosqi isn't working Jun 10 05:25:38 it sees the phone. when i install something it acts like its dointg something. When i look at my phone, its done nothing Jun 10 05:25:41 what version of wosqi are you using? Jun 10 05:25:55 you don't happen to have the emulator running at the same time, do you? Jun 10 05:26:04 newest one i think.. holdon Jun 10 05:26:37 4.1.1 Jun 10 05:27:38 latest novacom drivers? Jun 10 05:28:38 yes, the most recent.. Jun 10 05:28:44 i just told it to install preware.. Jun 10 05:29:00 it had the little animation going saying, "transfering etc" Jun 10 05:29:07 i look on my phone and no preware Jun 10 05:29:17 sprint palm 1 use to flicker or reboot Jun 10 05:29:20 this does nothing Jun 10 05:31:02 7 Jun 10 05:33:13 does, anyone have any advice? Jun 10 05:33:17 yes? no Jun 10 05:33:32 i'm not really sure Jun 10 05:33:37 try an older version? Jun 10 05:33:43 i mean, if it works for everyone else, either your phone is busted or you're doing something wrong Jun 10 05:33:57 the changelog suggests some novacom stuff changed Jun 10 05:34:25 for windows 7? Jun 10 05:34:37 4.04 worked for me on win7 with the pre2 Jun 10 05:34:48 http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-coding/274461-webos-quick-install-v4-1-1-a.html Jun 10 05:34:49 i mean, does the latest version of wosqi suppose to work with 1.4.5? Jun 10 05:34:51 ^ changelog Jun 10 05:35:02 palm pre plus Jun 10 05:35:05 not 2 Jun 10 05:35:07 beats me. ask the guy who mad eit Jun 10 05:35:58 do you have a palm pre plus from att? Jun 10 05:36:04 no Jun 10 05:36:08 ok Jun 10 05:36:17 do you have a palm pre plus from verizon? Jun 10 05:36:23 no. I have a pre2 Jun 10 05:36:35 ok, im talking about a palm pre plus Jun 10 05:36:38 from att Jun 10 05:36:39 I know you are. Jun 10 05:36:57 have u ever had a palm pre plus from att or verizon Jun 10 05:36:58 ? Jun 10 05:37:23 if you're hoping for someone with the exact same hardware on the exact same carrier and exact same software, to be here, at your beck and call, I think you'll be sorely disappointed. Jun 10 05:37:50 well that would defeat the purpose of this irc channel because.. Jun 10 05:37:58 you can only have a palm pre from sprint.. Jun 10 05:38:08 plus from att or verizon or a palm pre 2 Jun 10 05:38:19 like 4 options Jun 10 05:38:23 really 3 Jun 10 05:38:47 and if we kick all the people who aren't from the US out, it'll be awfully quiet Jun 10 05:39:09 the geography has no consequence .. Jun 10 05:39:13 its the same software Jun 10 05:39:25 you're the one who brought up att/vzw/sprint ... Jun 10 05:39:41 obviously, because im here Jun 10 05:39:42 Darksynz: install the Palm SDK, then use palm-install to install Preware. Or ask in Jason's PreCentral thread Jun 10 05:39:46 but the software is the same Jun 10 05:39:59 ok, thanks rwhitby Jun 10 05:40:22 then why are you asking me what I have? Jun 10 05:40:35 if it doesn't matter? Jun 10 05:40:50 because i want to know your experiences with the software and try to duplicate it to resolve my issue Jun 10 05:41:04 if you had a palm pre plus.. Jun 10 05:41:13 and used a particular wosqi.. Jun 10 05:41:24 I already told you I couldn't give you an exact replica of your setup, like 30 minutes ago Jun 10 05:41:30 if it worked for u, it should work for me.. then i could further deal with the matter Jun 10 05:41:44 then be silent Jun 10 05:41:55 30 minutes ago Jun 10 05:42:04 well then, be not surprised if NOBODY IS HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WHEN YOU WANT IT Jun 10 05:42:13 and quit yer bitching Jun 10 05:42:20 holy crap people, keep it civil Jun 10 05:42:29 im sorry that its an irc channel and nobody talks.. Jun 10 05:42:38 what are u? 18? Jun 10 05:42:47 this is what irc is for Jun 10 05:42:49 knock it off Jun 10 05:42:53 ok ok Jun 10 05:42:56 sorry maik Jun 10 05:43:33 either people aren't paying attention or no one knows how to fix your problem Jun 10 05:43:45 you'll probably reach a wider breadth of people by asking on the forums Jun 10 05:44:13 good information. ill keep checking the forums, but they say check here Jun 10 05:44:21 ah Jun 10 05:44:27 and being on irc for at least 12 years.. Jun 10 05:44:27 who is the developer? Jun 10 05:44:36 i know it to be a good source of information Jun 10 05:44:48 generally, yes. Jun 10 05:44:52 maik: JayCanuck never frequents IRC Jun 10 05:45:17 and very few folks in WebOS Internals use WOSQI, cause we all have the SDK installed anyway and don't use Windows. Jun 10 05:45:30 that was going to be my next question Jun 10 05:45:35 * oil_pre uses windows :) Jun 10 05:45:35 understood Jun 10 05:45:44 i can boot into linux and do whatever.. Jun 10 05:45:54 why not install the SDK? Jun 10 05:45:54 my issue is that it has always been so easy from windows.. Jun 10 05:46:11 and even though its been 6 months since i last had a pre, its very different Jun 10 05:46:16 oil_pre: do you use WOSQI though? Jun 10 05:46:17 even wosqi is much different Jun 10 05:46:36 ill install the sdk Jun 10 05:46:39 no Jun 10 05:46:39 thank ou Jun 10 05:46:43 you Jun 10 05:51:20 is there a way to "cancel" an AJAX request/WebService? Jun 10 06:32:32 jaf0: req.abort(). but the server might not notice until it tries to send data, as you only can send a "FIN" packet, and if the server doesn't try to read from the connection it won't see it. (on write it will get a RST from the client) Jun 10 06:33:20 good morning Jun 10 06:33:22 stbuehler: actually, for enyo it's cancelCall(). Jun 10 06:36:03 ... Jun 10 06:37:07 oh Jun 10 06:37:32 well, i don't think you should ask enyo questions here anyway :D Jun 10 06:41:48 morning Jun 10 06:51:22 Morning swisstomcat Jun 10 06:51:29 morning hotdp Jun 10 09:17:57 webosians, I'm looking for the information Pre3 will run webOS3 and so Enyo apps, any pointers ? Jun 10 09:35:16 the fact is i'm a little bit lost... should I use my time on Enyo or on Mojo ? On both because they will stay alive together for a long long time ? Jun 10 09:35:53 if you're starting a new app, go with enyo Jun 10 09:36:48 :) Jun 10 09:37:59 but will my app run on Pre3 ? Jun 10 09:38:18 or should I develop a Mojo version for phones ? Jun 10 09:38:32 this part is unclear for me Jun 10 09:38:48 So you ask if Pre3 will lunch with enyo? Jun 10 09:39:02 yep Jun 10 09:39:13 I don't want to create apps only for Touchpad Jun 10 09:40:02 and I would like to see my apps running on Pre2, too (but am I dreaming... ? :)) Jun 10 09:46:04 hi Jun 10 09:46:19 anybody working on Enyo framework here? Jun 10 09:46:27 trying to ;) Jun 10 09:48:00 Adora> so can I forget Mojo and invest time on Enyo in order to have apps on phones and tablets ? Jun 10 09:48:33 did anybody try browser based enyo app? Jun 10 09:49:28 you mean testing an enyo app in chrome ? Jun 10 09:49:36 yep Jun 10 09:49:54 so, yes, I gave it a try Jun 10 09:50:21 did u try navigating the appp using keyboard? up down arrow keys i mean Jun 10 09:50:29 I am trying to get that Jun 10 09:50:48 keynavigation can be acieved using the jquery plugin Jun 10 09:51:04 however navigating the list is where I am getting stuck Jun 10 09:51:59 I dit not try keyboard navigation Jun 10 10:01:12 loic_m use enyo Jun 10 10:02:21 hotdp> I'd rather use enyo, I get more fun developing than with mojo. but... will enyo run on phones (pre3, 2)? Jun 10 10:05:31 nope Jun 10 10:06:51 so it's quite stupid by HP Jun 10 10:07:44 sorry yep anyo can run in mobile touchpad or even browser! Jun 10 10:09:42 so : touchpad = enyo, Pre = mojo (even Pre2 and 3) Jun 10 10:33:59 loic_m: it will run on pre 3 and pre 2 Jun 10 10:34:10 Not "now" but later Jun 10 10:34:29 for sure ? Jun 10 10:34:35 its official Jun 10 10:34:53 I was looking for the news Jun 10 10:35:07 but if you tell me it's official, that's a good news Jun 10 10:35:07 http://developer.palm.com/blog/2011/02/mojo-and-enyo-two-great-opportunities/ Jun 10 10:35:18 miss this one, shame on me Jun 10 10:35:35 There is nothing about pre 2 there but i think it was at the "show" in feb Jun 10 10:36:06 "While Mojo has been the foundation for apps on current webOS devices and the upcoming Veer and Pre 3, Enyo is the future." Jun 10 10:36:32 ok ;) Jun 10 10:36:50 bbl, sorry (and thanks for the pointer) Jun 10 10:36:52 I can't find it written about Pre 2 Jun 10 10:37:01 so i can't say for sure Jun 10 10:54:22 while enyo is the future, nobodoy knows whether pre2 is part of the future :D Jun 10 11:40:25 stbuehler> eheh, indeed pre2 is not that part of the future, but it's not that old ;) Jun 10 14:33:34 YEAH Jun 10 14:33:38 got that node.js module working Jun 10 14:33:49 now... how do I share objects across multiple assitants in one service? Jun 10 14:33:55 stbuehler? ;-) Jun 10 14:55:56 or maybe I'm wrong altogether Jun 10 14:56:18 I want to use a node.js object Jun 10 14:56:19 phoque: hm, have a global var :) Jun 10 14:56:27 hmm Jun 10 14:56:45 so... define it in any arbitrary .js file that I load using sources.json? Jun 10 14:56:59 well, pick one that is loaded early Jun 10 14:57:05 but it probably doesn't matter Jun 10 14:57:17 OK Jun 10 14:58:25 all that Service stuff is so weird Jun 10 14:59:50 should I save tokens and secrets that are being returned by the API in a db8 in the Service Jun 10 14:59:57 or in a cookie all the way up in the app? Jun 10 15:57:10 phoque: i don't know enough about the problem to help you with design decisions :) Jun 10 15:57:18 :-) Jun 10 15:57:24 me neither ;-) Jun 10 15:57:26 hehe Jun 10 15:58:13 but be careful with storing secrets Jun 10 15:58:54 perhaps even provide a mode where you have to provide login credentials on each app start Jun 10 15:59:53 so save them only in memory if possible Jun 10 16:02:29 I'm using Dropbox, they don't allow me to use login credentials every time I want to access the API Jun 10 16:04:57 phoque: thats cus oauth Jun 10 16:05:14 I know Jun 10 16:05:29 I'm thinking about what to do once I've requested the accesstoken and secret Jun 10 16:05:30 :-) Jun 10 16:09:57 ugh, oauth Jun 10 16:10:26 sugardav1 your nick is reconnect brooken Jun 10 16:10:32 doh Jun 10 16:10:43 ;) Jun 10 16:10:48 there all better :D Jun 10 16:11:36 there you are :D Jun 10 16:18:00 OLOLOLOLO Jun 10 16:18:02 its working Jun 10 16:18:03 so easy Jun 10 16:18:07 well... not easy Jun 10 16:18:11 but just 20 lines of code Jun 10 16:19:27 chuqui: how many touchpads have you sold until now :P Jun 10 16:20:29 morning!

Jun 10 20:56:32 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moustache Jun 10 20:57:23 "moustache is almost universal in British English while mustache predominates in American English, except for the third edition of Webster (1961), which gives moustache as the principal headword spelling. Later editions of Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary (from the 1973 eighth edition) give mustache." - typical.

Jun 11 00:50:08 i just hope it doesn't mess up the NFC Jun 11 00:50:17 rwhitby: yeah, i've seen it in the galaxy S and the evo Jun 11 00:50:49 it's a bit of a project, you have to solder some wires to the contact points of the NFC coil, then solder them to the motherboard at the 2 power points Jun 11 00:51:39 or just buy a pre ;) Jun 11 00:51:53 PatrickC: yeah, because a pre from a nexus S wouldn't be a step backwards or anything :P Jun 11 00:52:16 a Pre2 from a Nexus S would be a step up :) Jun 11 00:52:24 haha only you think that Jun 11 00:52:38 hmm.. who else agrees? Jun 11 00:52:46 all the webOS lovers Jun 11 00:52:52 see :) Jun 11 00:52:55 (i'd hope so anyways) Jun 11 00:53:09 i just got the nexus S to hold me over until the next nexus phone though Jun 11 00:53:21 that'll be december, quad-core processor, your pre 3 won't touch it :o Jun 11 00:53:22 I would honestly have a nexus s with webos then a pre- with webos Jun 11 00:54:10 yeah, because the Nexus S should be called the Sexus N, it's uber sexy Jun 11 00:54:16 or just about any other hardware that had webos on it... Jun 11 00:54:32 the pre- is so outdated...... :/ Jun 11 00:54:35 lol Jun 11 00:54:43 even the pre+, its keyboard, wow Jun 11 00:55:02 i don't see why HP insists on continuing the trend of terrible keyboards Jun 11 00:55:30 the pre2 has an awesome kb Jun 11 00:55:40 and the plus is a ton better then the minus Jun 11 00:55:50 lol, i dont wanna touch a minus then Jun 11 00:56:14 i had to enter that unlock code for the canuck in here i bought the pre plus for, and in 10 seconds of typing i can already say that keyboard would NEVER work for my fingers Jun 11 00:57:02 hmm, 3.1 inch, 320x480, slideout keyboard... sounds like my ADP1 Jun 11 00:57:17 which is over 2 and a half years old, they grow up so fast *sniffsniff* Jun 11 00:59:00 pre-? Jun 11 00:59:06 pre 2 Jun 11 00:59:53 well.. the sizes are the same :) iirc Jun 11 01:00:09 yeah Jun 11 01:00:26 the way i feel about webOS hardware is the way i feel about blackberry hardware Jun 11 01:00:44 the Torch is a decent phone, great slideout keyboard, decent screen, it was great for 3 years ago, but came out last year Jun 11 01:00:53 webos hardware is waaaaay better then blackberry hardware Jun 11 01:01:01 well.. pre2 is better then bberry hw Jun 11 01:01:03 compare the pre to the Torch Jun 11 01:01:09 yeah, pre2 has a 1ghz proc, 512mb ram Jun 11 01:01:35 the pre- is about equal to the Storm 1 Jun 11 01:01:39 but pre+ and torch came out around the same time i believe, torch was like, august 2010 Jun 11 01:01:59 the plus came out before then iirc Jun 11 01:02:03 and both have 600mhz processors, similar resolutions, slideout keboards (blackberry's is actually usable of course) Jun 11 01:02:19 pre plus came out may 16, torch came out august 12 Jun 11 01:02:19 I love my keyboard Jun 11 01:02:28 so that's a 3 month difference, basically the same time Jun 11 01:02:32 yeah Jun 11 01:02:46 hey cwayne1 Jun 11 01:02:50 very similar phones, and both are decent phones, i'd never say they're the worst you can buy Jun 11 01:03:18 but the pre 3 is going to have WVGA, while android phones have had qHD since march and iPhone 4 has had better than qHD since last year Jun 11 01:03:21 I would buy a minus over a torch though Jun 11 01:03:35 eh, i like the torch's hardware much more Jun 11 01:03:55 I do to.. kinda/sorta... but webos is sooooo much better Jun 11 01:04:00 but the point is, iphone/android are keeping on the cutting edge, best hardware you can find, while webOS just kinda hangs back and comes out with decently quick phones Jun 11 01:05:21 the pre 3 is coming out with what, 1.2, 1.4ghz single core chip right? like the samsung infuse has right now? Jun 11 01:05:41 1.4GHz single core I believe Jun 11 01:05:45 yeah Jun 11 01:05:54 i think it's the same chip as the 1.2ghz in the infuse, both made by samsung Jun 11 01:06:01 but it's just clocked higher Jun 11 01:06:10 the touchpad has a 1.2 Dual-core I think Jun 11 01:06:22 yeah Jun 11 01:06:31 i'd like to see HP, who does have a long history with making good hardware (albeit not always phones), make a top end, jaw dropping phone Jun 11 01:06:46 the Pre4 will be Jun 11 01:06:50 * PatrickC hopes and prays Jun 11 01:06:51 .... Jun 11 01:06:55 the pre 4 will be like 2 years from now :P Jun 11 01:07:03 I think it'd be dumb at this point to assume that the first batch of webOS devices would be on the furthest cutting edge Jun 11 01:07:06 next year.. it better be Jun 11 01:07:14 in DECEMBER the next nexus phone is coming, and it'll have the quad core kal-el (tegra 3) nvidia chipset Jun 11 01:07:22 SineOt: "first batch"? Jun 11 01:07:32 was the pre-, pre+, pre2 or pre3 considered the "first batch" Jun 11 01:07:41 I'd say it's a safe assumption to assume that HP's total role in the design and build of the Veer and Pre3 was still building heavily on what Palm had designed prior to the merger Jun 11 01:07:42 since HP acquired palm.. I think Jun 11 01:07:43 or are you considering 3 years worth of phones the "first batch" Jun 11 01:08:09 No, I'm saying the first round of devices out of HP owned Palm and not Palm by itself Jun 11 01:08:33 eh, they bought palm in 2009 didn't they Jun 11 01:08:39 nope Jun 11 01:08:41 last year Jun 11 01:08:45 The Veer got submitted to the FCC with all of Palm's names on it Jun 11 01:08:53 Yeah, Palm's been owned for like under a year Jun 11 01:08:54 oh right, much later than that, my bad Jun 11 01:09:04 it's been like 12-14 months Jun 11 01:09:14 not even 12 months I think Jun 11 01:09:26 *shrug* , whatev, the article i saw saying they purchased was april 28 Jun 11 01:09:34 doesnt matter if it's 10 or 14 honestly, same shit Jun 11 01:09:39 yeah Jun 11 01:09:53 but the longer the OS is around and not garnering interest, the more it becomes the windows mobile of the market Jun 11 01:10:14 * PatrickC hopes not Jun 11 01:10:17 and i don't want that, i like webOS, so give me something that makes me say "holy shit, i know i like android but this phone destroys anything i can get with android on it" Jun 11 01:10:43 right now it's the opposite, by the time i ever get a chance to play with a pre 3, it'll feel like the last generation of android phones did Jun 11 01:10:55 Bought in April, and cleared the SEC etc in August Jun 11 01:11:23 So the actual time that HP and Palm have been together was since August of last year, not including time going "wtf" and shuffling departments and management swaps Jun 11 01:11:23 mmk Jun 11 01:11:38 SineOt: as i said, it really doesn't matter Jun 11 01:11:47 but yeah, like I said, I think the Veer is if not entirely, was mostly done by Palm Jun 11 01:11:53 on Palm sized budgets lol Jun 11 01:11:58 if palm wanted to be successful with webOS they had to know they should have something for the higher end market Jun 11 01:12:31 yeah, but bankruptcy looming 8 months ahead you want to make stuff that's quick to get to market and doesn't cost you too much Jun 11 01:12:48 SineOt: that's where motorola was when they released the Droid Jun 11 01:12:51 which is probably the biggest reason the Pre2 is basically just a CPU upgrade Jun 11 01:12:51 how'd that work out for them? Jun 11 01:13:02 motorola did it the smart way Jun 11 01:13:05 didn't motorola split off/sell their cellular division ? Jun 11 01:13:14 they were going to Jun 11 01:13:15 bpadalino: they split into 2, but didn't sell anything Jun 11 01:13:26 but ended up holding on to it after the Droid release Jun 11 01:13:41 but here's the difference, palm vs motorola Jun 11 01:13:59 palm said okay, we have a great OS, let's get a bunch of decent phones out there to make people grab onto and use in their daily lives Jun 11 01:14:13 motorola said okay, we have a great OS at our disposal, let's release the best phone on the market and wow people. Jun 11 01:14:56 and they did, it was the only WVGA handset i can think of that was being sold in the US, was a little short on ram but the processor was quick, easily overclocked, got it on verizon's network, it sold like ice in hell Jun 11 01:14:58 vzw had a little help with the advertising/pushing of the phone too .. :( Jun 11 01:14:59 keep in mind that Palm said okay, we just finished making a great OS entirely in house, and Motorola say okay, Google just handed us this OS :p Jun 11 01:15:10 bpadalino: oh big time, verizon pushed the Droid haaaard. Jun 11 01:15:24 SineOt: regardless, you need to put it on some good hardware or you end up in the toilet, as palm found out. Jun 11 01:15:34 it's difficult to sell a phone the carrier isn't into Jun 11 01:15:55 1) don't sell it exclusive on sprint if you're worried about that Jun 11 01:16:13 2) it's hard to be interested in a HVGA, 3.1" phone when you know that's not what your customers want :\ Jun 11 01:16:24 (the majority of your customers, don't mean that with offense, just saying it's a niche market) Jun 11 01:17:55 note: smartphone market is a niche market .. majority of phones are still feature/dumb Jun 11 01:18:06 bpadalino: ummm, that's becoming less true every day. Jun 11 01:18:31 bpadalino: http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/consumer/smartphones-to-overtake-feature-phones-in-u-s-by-2011/ Jun 11 01:19:09 I don't know if almost 3 year old analyst projections are really still valid today Jun 11 01:19:11 so i'd argue it's an up and coming market, certainly not niche. Jun 11 01:19:18 SineOt: i'm looking for something more recent Jun 11 01:19:26 also, "almost 3 year old"? Jun 11 01:19:31 March 26, 2010. Jun 11 01:19:36 that's a year and 2 months Jun 11 01:19:49 14 months is forever ago .. Jun 11 01:19:52 didn't you just say that ? Jun 11 01:20:05 re: hp buying out palm? Jun 11 01:20:10 bpadalino: http://gigaom.com/apple/verizon-boosts-iphone-smartphones-now-54-of-all-u-s-phone-sales/ Jun 11 01:20:17 "Smartphones overall had a strong quarter, though, as they represented a majority of all new U.S. mobile phone sales for the first time, with 54 percent of total purchases. " Jun 11 01:20:20 The projection's last hard date was Q4 2009 Jun 11 01:20:26 so I rounded off 2 years! Jun 11 01:20:28 SineOt: look at what i just posted. Jun 11 01:20:33 how's that, it's a month old Jun 11 01:20:44 Q1 2011, 54% of phones sold were smartphones Jun 11 01:20:46 niche that. Jun 11 01:21:01 54% of sales isn't 54% of use though Jun 11 01:21:05 oh my god Jun 11 01:21:15 yeah because some people like my dad have a dumbphone he's had since 2004 Jun 11 01:21:22 regardless, are you calling it a NICHE MARKET? Jun 11 01:21:35 market = who you're selling to, doesn't matter what's being used.... 54% of phones sold are smartphones Jun 11 01:21:43 so it is the majority of the MARKET you're selling to. comprendes ingles? Jun 11 01:22:59 there we go Jun 11 01:23:13 Nielson, Feburary, US smartphone ownership among all phones is 34% Jun 11 01:23:22 er actually, that's wrong Jun 11 01:23:24 SineOt: did you read what i said about markets? Jun 11 01:23:25 31% XD Jun 11 01:23:40 if i'm selling a product, i don't care what people are using now, i care how many of them want to buy what i'm selling Jun 11 01:23:48 and 54% of people who are buying new phones buy smartphones Jun 11 01:24:28 so bpadalino couldn't have been more wrong in calling it a niche market, it's the majority of the USA customer base Jun 11 01:24:50 reading this it's kind of lol Jun 11 01:24:55 brb Jun 11 01:25:18 White smartphone ownership is 27% of the white phone ownership total Jun 11 01:25:24 Tommy: surprisingly enough, smartphones offered by vzw make up 40/63 of their offering Jun 11 01:25:45 so maybe the increased sales are really due to lack of choice? Jun 11 01:25:59 carriers love smart phones since they can charge more monthly for their use Jun 11 01:26:11 ^^ yeah Jun 11 01:26:20 not that people care about having a smart phone, but the alternatives just aren't there Jun 11 01:26:48 bpadalino: so it's back to being a niche market at 40% of all phone sales? Jun 11 01:26:48 before I had a smartphone.. my "feature" phone was crap and didn't work at all Jun 11 01:26:55 or can you finally admit and agree that it's not a niche market Jun 11 01:27:18 that's the only reason i brought stats into it, i don't care about exact numbers, my point is it's not a niche market whatsoever, it's an enormous amount of people that buy these things Jun 11 01:27:21 I know many people who don't have a smartphone because they don't want to pay for daya Jun 11 01:27:27 large screened dual core smart phones are the niche market though Jun 11 01:27:30 in the US it's a fast growing market, but i think it's still niche Jun 11 01:27:33 or they would have gotten one a long time ago Jun 11 01:27:36 anyone else watching the hockey game? Jun 11 01:27:37 PatrickC: right, and that's what makes it even MORE amazing that more than half of the phones that sell are smartphones Jun 11 01:27:42 that everything requires a data plan Jun 11 01:27:46 cwayne1: ooh what channel?! Jun 11 01:27:58 i know a ton of people who switched to trac phones and still have their razr's .. Jun 11 01:27:58 Tommy: nbc Jun 11 01:27:59 nvm found it, didnt know if they were playing tonight Jun 11 01:28:02 SineOt: yeah Jun 11 01:28:04 go canada! Jun 11 01:28:09 Tommy: we're fighting Jun 11 01:28:29 bpadalino: 54% is not niche, nor is 40% Jun 11 01:28:49 Tommy: we're entitled to our opinions Jun 11 01:28:53 SineOt: dual core is only niche because there aren't many available (1 on AT&T, 1 tablet on verizon, 1 phone on t-mobile?) Jun 11 01:29:09 but big-screen phones? Droid X, Evo, Infuse, Inspire, Mytouch 4G? Jun 11 01:29:11 certainly not niche. Jun 11 01:29:23 wasn't the whole reason this started was because of the Pre3 being a 1.4ghz single core Jun 11 01:29:27 how many people want a huge screen???? Jun 11 01:29:40 PatrickC: apparently a lot... Jun 11 01:29:50 I know MANY people who don't want an Evo cause they don't want a big screen Jun 11 01:29:55 the pre3 specs do seem somewhat "last generation" Jun 11 01:29:59 i think 4" is the perfect size for a screen, i've used 3.7 and 4.3, the last 2 phones i've had were 4 Jun 11 01:30:08 how many buy it because there aren't any options that aren't big screened? XD Jun 11 01:30:20 SineOt: exactly! lol Jun 11 01:30:33 SineOt: unfortunately, that may be the case, if i was buying an AT&T phone now it'd be the 4.5" infuse just because the atrix bootloader is locked down Jun 11 01:31:32 also, super amoled plus <333 Jun 11 01:32:15 bpadalino: that's how the whole conversation started, last gen specs on a new phone, that's why you won't pick up tons of users for a new webOS phone Jun 11 01:32:39 Tommy: there are a ton of last gen spec phones still being sold tho .. Jun 11 01:32:47 lots of people are still buying iphone4's Jun 11 01:32:51 but yeah, anyways my (drunken) thoughts on the matter: the Veer especially and probably the Pre3 as well were more than likely designed largely by Palm who was operating under the Palm mindshare of cheap fast oh shit we're bankrupt in a few months mindset of doing a cpu upgrade and calling it the Pre2 type stuff and not a more HP lined budget eased mindset that I'm sure the next revision that's conceived, Jun 11 01:32:51 designed, and built by the new HP Palm team from start to finish will be the ones to look for being on the "cutting edge" Jun 11 01:32:54 bpadalino: right, but they're not trying to kickstart an OS Jun 11 01:33:08 iOS is very stable and has a gigantic userbase, same with Android, HP can't compare themselves to that Jun 11 01:33:17 Tommy: the webos experience is unmatched Jun 11 01:33:18 they have to come out with something to draw users in, android/iOS only need to keep users from leaving Jun 11 01:33:27 in usability and frustration Jun 11 01:33:32 bpadalino: i love the multitasking, but the lack of developer support is lame to me Jun 11 01:33:55 it's a chicken and egg problem, is it not ? Jun 11 01:34:02 i have slingplayer on my phone, how's your webOS slingplayer? it isn't... netflix, watchESPN, HBO Go, i don't know which of those are avialble for webOS either Jun 11 01:34:12 bpadalino: yes, but it all starts with sick hardware. Jun 11 01:34:22 or does it start with an awesome OS ? Jun 11 01:34:23 the motorola droid was the giant kickstart that got android going Jun 11 01:34:34 bpadalino: well, apparently it doesn't, because palm is down the toilet with an awesome OS Jun 11 01:34:38 or does it start with developer buyin ? Jun 11 01:35:39 bpadalino: watch this video, and look at when the droid releases, how much that changed the size of the android userbase Jun 11 01:35:40 symbian had a huge user base Jun 11 01:35:44 and more users = more developers wanting money Jun 11 01:35:46 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fqFpq9WXbJo Jun 11 01:36:09 symbian was big? Jun 11 01:36:19 symbian is a monster in terms of user base Jun 11 01:36:27 look at the whole US light up Jun 11 01:36:56 * PatrickC never heard of symbian till he started hacking/developing Jun 11 01:36:57 Symbian is huge, it just sucks really bad so no one really cares Jun 11 01:37:05 yeah symbian's done Jun 11 01:37:48 Tommy: the people who bought the original droid were people looking to get an iphone on vzw's network .. don't you agree ? Jun 11 01:37:59 not at all Jun 11 01:38:02 wow Jun 11 01:38:07 * oil does Jun 11 01:38:14 some of them, sure, but if that was the case wouldn't you see iOS' market share go way up when the vzw iphone came out? Jun 11 01:38:29 but it didn't, android continues to gain ground on iPhone in market share Jun 11 01:38:58 that's because android is on tonz of phones Jun 11 01:39:01 iOS is on 4 Jun 11 01:39:09 PatrickC: regardless, he just said the people who bought the droid wanted an iphone on verizon Jun 11 01:39:11 Tommy: will android growth stagnate as those who bought their droids and are still on contract switch to iphones when they get the chance ? Jun 11 01:39:15 if they want an iphone on verizon, they can now get one. Jun 11 01:39:32 bpadalino: coincidentally enough, the iphone 4 came out right about when they'd be up for an upgrade Jun 11 01:39:38 bpalidino has a point Jun 11 01:39:40 verizon gives you an upgrade 6 months before your contract ends Jun 11 01:39:50 Droid came out Nov 6, 2009 Jun 11 01:39:59 do the math, that's May 2011 Jun 11 01:40:08 iphone 4 came out when, february/march 2011? Jun 11 01:40:25 maybe they came to like the hw keyboard and went to the droid2 Jun 11 01:40:37 *shrug*, maybe they just like android more than iphone? Jun 11 01:40:46 the Droid X has sold like crazy, Droid 2 not as much Jun 11 01:41:06 Droid Incredible had some sales numbers that lived up to its name, Evo set all sorts of sprint release day records Jun 11 01:41:17 ...people just buy android phones, no matter what network or hardware Jun 11 01:41:40 I would never buy a droid phone... Jun 11 01:41:41 Tommy: and you think it's because they want to, or like it .. or is it marketing ? Jun 11 01:41:51 PatrickC: that's fine, they get 300,000 activations a day, they won't miss ya :P Jun 11 01:42:04 I would go iphone or blackberry over droid Jun 11 01:42:15 bpadalino: we just talked about people who have used the phone for the last 18 months and are upgrading, i don't think marketing is going to convince them their phone is better than it is Jun 11 01:42:35 Tommy: you just said people just buy android phones no matter what .. Jun 11 01:42:40 yeah Jun 11 01:42:41 and i am posing the question as to why Jun 11 01:42:47 bpadalino: because it's a good OS? Jun 11 01:42:47 and the reason? their app store... I don't like the fact that it can have viruses uploaded to it Jun 11 01:43:11 PatrickC: they remove any malicious apps, they just don't review them before posting Jun 11 01:43:14 Tommy: sounds like conjecture? Jun 11 01:43:22 and speculation? Jun 11 01:43:23 bpadalino: isn't that what we're doing here? Jun 11 01:43:32 you said "is it because of marketing", what is that if not conjecture? Jun 11 01:43:34 Tommy: my point exactly.. I can get the virus before its removed Jun 11 01:43:47 PatrickC: well, i never have, i'm not too worried. Jun 11 01:44:04 usually you just make sure you're not THE FIRST PERSON to install an app off of android market :P Jun 11 01:44:05 I'm not either.. but I don't want to take a chance Jun 11 01:44:10 most apps i get i hear about via word of mouth Jun 11 01:44:21 I think google doesn't care about android... Jun 11 01:44:25 PatrickC: if it makes you feel better, i have an application on my phone that scans every app as it installs to detect if it's malicious Jun 11 01:44:32 lmfao, "google doesn't care about android" Jun 11 01:44:37 do you have any idea how much money android makes google? Jun 11 01:45:02 I know that android makes google tons Jun 11 01:45:09 and that's why they bought them imo Jun 11 01:45:09 yeah, so why would you say they don't care Jun 11 01:45:11 they don't like money? Jun 11 01:45:18 for money.. not to help them Jun 11 01:45:20 yes, of course that's why they bought android Jun 11 01:45:23 to help who? Jun 11 01:45:36 android Jun 11 01:45:38 you think HP bought Palm out of the goodness of their hearts? grow up, get real. Jun 11 01:45:47 they bought webOS because they saw potential for money, welcome to business Jun 11 01:45:57 they don't care enough to take 1 hr and scan apps to make sure their safe Jun 11 01:46:08 ...1 hour? per app? Jun 11 01:46:17 ok.. a few hrs Jun 11 01:46:29 do you realize how much they'd be investing, in pure resources, to do that? Jun 11 01:46:45 i guess you think windows should scan all applications too, right? scan everything on the internet Jun 11 01:46:54 or are you a mac user who thinks mac viruses don't exist? Jun 11 01:47:17 there is virus protection for windows and mac Jun 11 01:47:20 you treat android the same way you treat your computer, use some common sense. Jun 11 01:47:24 PatrickC: and there's virus protection for android Jun 11 01:47:32 really? Jun 11 01:47:35 i just told you no more than 3 minutes ago i have an application that scans every app i install for malicious intents Jun 11 01:47:47 " PatrickC: if it makes you feel better, i have an application on my phone that scans every app as it installs to detect if it's malicious" Jun 11 01:47:59 does it fix it if something happens? Jun 11 01:48:03 it's called lookout mobile security, it also tracks your phone if you lose it etcetc Jun 11 01:48:16 PatrickC: it prevents the app from installing and removes the apk Jun 11 01:48:21 just like any good antivirus on windows Jun 11 01:48:43 PatrickC: android made 0 money before google bought it Jun 11 01:48:55 cwayne1: lolol did you see the old prototypes of android? Jun 11 01:49:09 Well, windows has virus because its security design sucks. You're saying the same about android Jun 11 01:49:11 Tommy: not good. Jun 11 01:49:35 cwayne1: PatrickC this is where android was, even after google bought it and was working on it: http://www.techchee.com/img/google-android-prototype-181207.jpg Jun 11 01:49:44 if you think it had a chance to compete with iphone at that point, raise your hand. Jun 11 01:49:54 * cwayne1 raises 0 hands Jun 11 01:49:56 NuttyBunny_Pre2: i'm not saying that at all, he's worried about viruses Jun 11 01:50:06 i'm not worried about any malware on my phone, i use common sense Jun 11 01:51:28 the only reason i have lookout is because it can locate your phone if it's stolen or lost, set off a siren so you can find it, etc Jun 11 01:53:57 lolololol Jun 11 01:54:16 oh man yeah Find My Mac is coming with Lion, that's pretty awesome Jun 11 01:54:26 o.o Jun 11 01:55:15 cwayne1: 12 goals against luongo in the last 2 games and now nobody's scorin Jun 11 01:55:26 Tommy: it's Find my iPhone but for desktop/laptops instead Jun 11 01:55:32 SineOt: interesting. Jun 11 01:55:50 Tommy: i know right? maybe playin at home refreshed him Jun 11 01:56:06 yeah, now all he needs is his team to score Jun 11 01:56:13 yeah. Adds a "guest" account that runs only Safari to try to get people who aren't paying attention to connect it to the internet :Q Jun 11 01:56:16 Tommy: fuck that Jun 11 01:56:18 but also adds remote locking and remote wipe Jun 11 01:56:20 b's all the way Jun 11 01:56:26 ....lololol Jun 11 01:56:34 you from trashachusetts or something? Jun 11 01:56:40 (sorry, i had to come up with some name to show my disdain for it) Jun 11 01:56:44 filthadelphia is better Jun 11 01:56:51 Tommy: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA but yes Jun 11 01:57:04 Tommy: and more accurate Jun 11 01:57:06 i lived in MA for 14 years, i used to watch roberto luongo play for the lowell lock monsters :) Jun 11 01:57:15 awwww yeahhhh Jun 11 01:57:22 Tommy: haha yeahhh Jun 11 01:57:52 originally from and now back in NYC though, so obviously MA wasn't for me Jun 11 01:57:59 Tommy: live in lowell?

Jun 11 02:45:45 even if it means you have to travel 2.5 hours to install anything for her. Jun 11 02:46:01 DocLee: it's not about the AVERAGE, we have 9 million people Jun 11 02:46:03 madoff lived here, there are tons of people around with money like him Jun 11 02:46:07 am i supposed to be impressed? Jun 11 02:46:31 Tommy, the place I'm at is where everybody from NYC goes to retire.

Jun 11 02:47:12 Tommy, I'm impressed with big wealth. Jun 11 02:47:13 you seem to put tons of emphasis on how much money this guy had, as if it wasn't common around you Jun 11 02:47:20 ah, well that's where we differ. Jun 11 02:47:22 It's not like I don't have a ton of money myself. Jun 11 02:47:30 lol, so you're as arrogant as you seem. Jun 11 02:47:31 * oil doesnt have a ton of money Jun 11 02:47:36 gps... why you no work Jun 11 02:47:42 I've already put in over $3 million of my own to this company Jun 11 02:47:44 DocLee: I won't be impressed until you have a "shit-ton" Jun 11 02:47:48 i go to the george eastman house to watch movies .. he used to be the richest guy in the world! Jun 11 02:47:57 a regular ton...bah Jun 11 02:47:57 DocLee: lol, and yet, you're impressed with a guy who says $1M is nothing Jun 11 02:48:17 Tommy, I call a million something. Jun 11 02:48:28 yeah, so he has more money than you Jun 11 02:48:35 holy shit, not a surprise Jun 11 02:49:03 after all, he IS the potential investor, isn't he? if he had less money than you, your company either wouldn't need investors or would be bankrupt Jun 11 02:49:15 He's not an investor. Jun 11 02:49:19 It's a straight donation. Jun 11 02:49:35 okay Jun 11 02:49:56 If he were an investor, different story. He'd want something out of it. Jun 11 02:50:05 bpadalino: is that eastman-kodak? Jun 11 02:50:07 well, i'm sure he doesn't mind the tax breaks lol Jun 11 02:50:20 haeffb: yeah, he has a pretty nice house Jun 11 02:50:25 There's no tax break for a for-profit company Jun 11 02:50:37 I'm not a charity Jun 11 02:50:45 haeffb: apparently all the films shot on kodak film get donated to their vault .. it's pretty nice Jun 11 02:50:50 i figured it was going to where you worked, DocLee Jun 11 02:50:59 which is non-profit obviously Jun 11 02:51:24 There's several parts of Scripps. Jun 11 02:51:36 There's the non-profit and then there's the business developemnt. Jun 11 02:51:39 development... Jun 11 02:51:50 not very interested tbh Jun 11 02:51:53 But, no, this is going straight to the company. Jun 11 02:52:08 Of course not. You wouldn't be working in a place like this. Jun 11 02:52:12 Tommy: same way we feel about Android. Jun 11 02:52:36 haeffb: right Jun 11 02:52:49 DocLee: lol, i wouldn't want to work with people like you, that's for sure Jun 11 02:53:05 i'd hang myself after a week of putting up with an arrogant prick working alongside me... no, i'd probably just hang you instead Jun 11 02:53:17 Feeling is mutual. Jun 11 02:53:24 oh, you feel like i'm arrogant? Jun 11 02:53:31 remind me when i talked down to you, telling you where you would or wouldn't work Jun 11 02:53:37 remind me when i bragged about how much money i had Jun 11 02:53:52 I'm sorry, where did I brag about that? Jun 11 02:54:02 well, there was that one time where you bragged about your widgets Jun 11 02:54:05 i believe you told me "it's not like i don't have a ton of money, myself" Jun 11 02:54:13 That's not bragging. Jun 11 02:54:18 oh no? Jun 11 02:54:20 what's bragging then Jun 11 02:54:21 Nope. Jun 11 02:54:28 * haeffb tries desperately to bring the conversation back to something at least related to phones Jun 11 02:54:28 do you have to say it in different words for it to be arrogant? Jun 11 02:54:45 That was to demonstrate that despite having money, I still consider a $1 million donation to be something. Jun 11 02:54:49 haeffb: these PhD IRC douchebags are a dime a dozen, idk why i bother... ignored like the rest Jun 11 02:55:14 * DocLee yawns Jun 11 02:55:20 haeffb: can you put custom kernels on webOS phones? Jun 11 02:55:34 the kernels are obviously open source i'd assume Jun 11 02:59:43 $1M donation is very hefty **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jun 11 02:59:57 2011
