The LG Keynote at CES 2016
The start of each new year brings with it the Consumer Electronics show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. We have posted an article about it for the last couple of years – since LG debuted their webOS televisions there. You may recall that it was Palm’s announcement and demonstration of the Palm Pre at the 2009 show that started all the fuss about webOS. Could LG maintain the excitement around their TVs?

News Crumbs – 8th April 2015
At this time of year the webOS toaster is popping up a lot of hot cross buns, but any time of year is the right time for toasted fruit buns! Let’s shake out some crumbs:
- Thanks to user feedback, Garfonso’s made a few tweaks to his C+DAV patches. Check that you are up to date.
- There is also a Google maps update.
- An article by Palm founder and AI researcher, Jeff Hawkins:
The Terminator Is Not Coming. The Future Will Thank Us. | Re/code - Sliders are back? What about open boot loaders and drivers? Yes we’re hoping for possible LuneOS port candidates and noticing that previews of the future look like the Pre of the past! Does this look familiar?
Mozilla just announced flip and slider phones at a press event in 2015 | The Verge
BlackBerry will release a curved-screen slider phone later this year | Engadget
BlackBerry plans to launch a sliding ‘dual-curved display’ phone this year | The Verge - Not exactly webOS, but those of you using Metaview’s webOS watch app with a pebble, might want to take a look at this new watchface he has created.
- Good News from webOS legend Jason Robitaille: He is joining LG’s silicon valley lab. How many on this forum are hoping for support to be added to webOS Quick Install?
- This mobile nations update includes a tribute to forum moderator HelloNNNewman which we can only endorse: Mobile Nations Community Update, March 2015 | CrackBerry.com. Thanks Dave!
And we’re all done and ready to heat up more freshly baked webOS news. Farewell until next time!
News Crumbs – 9th JANUARY 2015
It is said that a watched pot never boils, but will a webOS toaster send a pop-up toaster alert to a webOS watch when the toast is ready? Only time will tell…
- Enyo 2.5.1 was released on the 11th of December and has just had an incremental release to 2.5.1.1.
- We have another Chicago meet up on the 11th, 7pm at Moretti’s in Schaumburg. (Note: That’s THIS SUNDAY, not the 15th – which was previously posted in error). New faces are welcome.
- TCL / Alcatel relaunched the Palm brand at CES. The prior speculation in the tech press was a result of this detective work by webOS Nation forum member, ederic, who is now writing for pivotCE too!
- There is some background on the webOS watch excitement from The Wall Street Journal. It seems the plan is to slowly build the eco-system. After the webOS watch, the software on home appliances (toaster?!) is also a possibility. Sadly LG seems to believe that on phones, “everyone expects Android”, so there may be a long wait for that product.
- More Smart Watch news! Metaview has added Pebble compatibility to this app. Give it a try with your Pebble watch.
- Following the death of Josh Chambers (aka OldSkoolVWLover), forum member eblade attended the memorial event and posted this account and photograph.
Whatever you use to measure time, make the most of yours in 2015 with our best wishes for the New Year.
