LG Enyo Director interviewed – talks webOS, Smart TV demo date
DeveloperTech interviewed ex-Palm employee, Gray Norton (now LG’s Director of the Enyo Framework and Tools) about LG’s plans for Smart TVs and how Enyo is being incorporated in their development. Among what Gray had to say, there was talk about webOS and how the work LG has done with Enyo for next year’s TVs lends itself to be used with and without webOS attached to it. Hmmmmm…

How-to: Meta-Doctor – No Makefile editing
Have you ever browsed around the webOS Nation Forums and read about people installing webOS 2.1.0 on their Sprint Pres? How about installing webOS 2.2.4 on their Pre 2s? Or mashing together a Sprint Pre 2 with either of the above? Besides the hardware part of a Sprint Pre 2, this is all done via webOS Internals‘ Meta-Doctor. This isn’t the latest news in the world of webOS, of course. However, since the original “how-to” over at webOS Internals is a bit dated I thought it fitting to provide a step-by-step to get it to work for you! If you’ve always meant to do it but never gotten around to it, dust off that Pre, pull out your USB cable, and read on!

Open Letter to LG #1
Dear LG,
I recently saw a video showing early stages of webOS running on an LG TV emulator with the use of Project Ares. Regardless of how that video came to light it was a great morale boost for the webOS community. Our OS lives!
You’ve had webOS now for almost 9 months. When you purchased it you were fairly open with your decision and gave hope to fans of the OS that we would see it live on in the future. Of course, the future you planned was in Smart TVs due out in 2014. To be honest, I’m ok with that especially since you had some great things to say about the superiority of the user experience over Android and did not rule out mobile devices in the future.
