HP has finally launched Open webOS, allowing interested developers to try out their skills on the old-new platform. The company released Open webOS 1.0 with core browser and e-mail apps, the Enyo 2.0 framework and all the drivers and middleware required to make the OS work on different devices. To prove this point, HP ported the software to a TouchSmart all-in-one PC.
That’s cool, but definitely not enough. Still lacking are media support, Bluetooth stack, advanced network management, faster rendering, and newer versions of Qt and WebKit. Guess those components will follow shortly, though if you’re savvy enough – you can already start playing with Open webOS.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
