Not everyone liked HP’s idea to effectively abandon webOS. Developer community embraced the company’s decision to open source the OS and group of enthusiast behind the Phoenix project is now doing something to resurrect one of the fanciest mobile platforms ever. For a start, they launched a mobile application that brings the whole OS along with few apps to Android. As you’re about to see from a video below, webOS doesn’t run that smoothly (to say the least) on Nexus S, but you should bear in mind this is still an early pre-alpha build and that many things will be changed and tweaked along the way. I’m not sure what’s the point of having another platform running on Android, but I guess this is some sort of demo, with real-life uses following at a later date (and on some other device). Anyway, you can check out the video below and/or read about the Phoenix project from their website…

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.
