Google Instant – Suche in Echtzeit

(Dies ist ein Teaser – klick hier, um den kompletten Beitrag zu lesen)

Google hat uns seit 2 Tagen mit innovativen und kreativen Google Logos auf etwas aufmerksam machen wollen. Nur was genau wusste anscheinend keiner so genau. Viele dachten an Chrome OS, viele Android User hofften auch auf einen überarbeiteten Market.

Doch Google hat etwas anderes gemeint: Google Instant -> Suchen in Echtzeit.

Sortieren Ihrer Emails

Email Sort OptionsDid you know that you could sort your email by Sender or Subject, in addition to the default Date sort? From within any email folder (this can’t be done from the main folder listing page) you simply swipe down from the top-left of the screen to bring own the Email Application dropdown menu and choose "Sort…" then choose Date, Sender or Subject. Choose it a second time and it will sort in reverse order. You will also notice that there is a Meta-tap option shown within the dropdown, so just hold the Gesture Area and press the D, S or T keys to change the sort.

  • Note that the "by Sender" sort is based off the name the sender attaches to their email account, not the name within your Contacts lists on your device.

DataViz: Docs2Go für webOS gestrichen

DataViz walks away from webOS

We’ve waited, we’ve asked, PreCentral forum members have lobbied, and now we’re officially being rejected: DataViz announced today on its Facebook page that it "made the difficult decision to cancel development for Docs To Go for WebOS":

We regret to announce that we have made the difficult decision to not produce a Web OS version of Documents To Go. We understand that our delay in this area has caused much disappointment to our current and very loyal user base. We would like to explain in more detail the reasoning behind our decisions thus far.

Our intention had been to replace the Palm Viewers, which were based on the Documents To Go technology, with a full editing, aftermarket version of Documents To Go. In order to do this in a way that we felt would be most intuitive to users, we wanted to have the full version seamlessly replace the built in viewers. To do this, we needed some technical help from Palm. Because Palm was focusing on other areas at the time (including their very survival), and there was no official information available allowing developers to help ourselves, i.e., an SDK, there was a delay in getting us this information. Rather than do a substantially larger project that would result in a "sub-optimal" user experience, we decided to wait. This wait was much longer than anyone at DataViz expected. During this wait, we focused our efforts on other smartphone platforms, not because we were not loyal to Palm, but because it made "business sense" to do so. We have now come to the realization that it is not in DataViz’ nor our users’ best interests to continue the wait and produce the full version. We understand that another developer has chosen to create an editing Office product for webOS and we wish them the best. Again, we apologize to our users for taking this long to reach, what is for DataViz and many of our users, a disappointing conclusion.

This decision is both disappointing and irritating for many within the webOS community, especially those who have been loyal Dataviz customers since the original Docs To Go came out for Palm OS. Its rationale is also a bit suspect, given the ready availability of Palm’s PDK for months, as well as the fact that the HP acquisition closed more than two months ago, with many, many PDK-based apps being developed and released, some quite sophisticated, since then.

Here’s hoping that we get an editing solution in short order, possibly from "another developer" with the interest in webOS users’ business that DataViz apparently lacks.

UPDATE: Oh, well that might explain it. DataViz has been bought by BlackBerry maker Research in Motion for a cool $50 million. So it’s not just webOS that’s about to be left out of the loop; we wouldn’t be surprised to see all non-BlackBerry OS DataViz products discontinued or left to waste away in the land of no updates.

Palm veröffentlicht webOS 2.0 SDK

 webOS 2.0 Beta SDK

Palm has released the webOS 2.0 Beta SDK to developers – go grab it at Palm’s Developer Center (developers will need to sign up for the early access program). The SDK is emulator-only for now, but developers can use it to get a glimpse as some of the many features coming in webOS 2.0 – see our full breakdown.

The Beta SDK will give Early Access developers their first look at the new features available to them, including Stacks, improved Synergy support, Just Type & Quick Actions, Hybrid PDK/SDK apps, improved Javascript support, Mojo Core, improved HTML5, and more. Palm’s Touchstone-based Exhibition feature isn’t present in this release, but should be available soon. 

Developers interested in getting their hands on the webOS 2.0 SDK should send an email to pdc@palm.com to join the Early Access Program. To be eligible, you need to be both a registered developer and have an app in the Palm App Catalog. If you’re already registered with the Early Access Program, all you need do is log in and get to it.

Palm says they’re committed to opening up webOS with 2.0 and extending what’s already great about it. Developers – how’s it look to you?

Android 1.6 Update fürs Samsung Galaxy i7500

(Dies ist ein Teaser – klick hier, um den kompletten Beitrag zu lesen)

Unglaublich aber wahr. Das Samsung Galaxy i7500 bekommt doch noch ein Update spendiert und zwar auf Android 1.6. Das klingt auf den ersten Blick nicht so dolle (letztendlich ist es das ja auch nicht), aber im Vergleich zu Android 1.5 gibt es doch einige Vorteile. Natürlich funktionieren dann Apps, die unter 1.5 einfach nicht laufen, aber auch beispielsweise Google Navigation, dass erst ab Android 1.6 funktioniert.
