There’s been a lot of big news in the last week, so time for a quick clean out!
Some app updates went through HP’s admin last week. We know there are a couple more in the pipeline. Thanks to all the developers still supporting webOS. Expect reviews soon on pivotCE.
Platform game, Orcrest has new levels. See the pivotCE article here.
Zap Photo Share let’s you share photos and slideshows across the wifi network. Why hand your phone around when you can beam to a bigger screen?
Lithium Messenger is an assistant for messaging, posting & tweeting. Expand words, add emoticons, pics, videos, shorten links, even translate! Is there a news crumbs mode? Maybe in the next update.
LG posted photos of Dev camp 2014. Owners of webOS TVs eagerly await the results of their efforts.
Meanwhile we were concerned to hear that two of the top designers had moved to Pebble. Will this affect the progress of webOS? We hope not.
Project Macaw updated to version 1.5.4. Find it in Preware, but remember if you want to try this Twitter client for the first time, you need to add the special feed…
LG’s connect SDK has also had a version update. No, it doesn’t quite work on Legacy webOS, but if you want to make apps that interact with webOS TV’s it’s a must. The new technology in LuneOS means future support is a possibility…
Finally, the conclusion to an odd part of webOS history: The Chubby Checker court case. The comments section of the article contains all the jokes you are likely to need on this matter.
Want to start simply? Roy Sutton has made a short video (<5mins) on how you can make a simple app with just HTML. It should work on other webOS devices too. I’m going to try it!
Having sold a million, it seems LG is going all in on webOS TVs. There has been mention of other webOS domestic devices and possibly wearables.
You’ll have seen the warning in the previous posting. It’s now fixed of course with help from frantid and others. There are rumours that Grabber5.0 is installing a flux-capacitor to his Maverick to patch issues before they even occur.
Even as Grabber5.0 keeps our old stuff running, Garfonso has just released the future of synergy for general testing. The C+DAV connector was built for the Open webOS port, but also works on legacy webOS. It will install as a separate account and for safety, only syncs one-way at the moment. It syncs the calendar and contacts apps with owncloud, google, yahoo and iCloud.
Twitter client, Project Macaw recently got an incremental update to 1.5.3. It’s available in Preware, but you will need to have added the feed: http://www.minego.net/preware
