Specifically, you’ll be able to comment on a friend’s check-in (“I’m around the corner! I’ll come visit!”, “That place is awesome!”, “What’d you think of the...

Quick update on neato! Sending
Making some progress with sending new stuff via neato!. As I’ve demonstrated already, you’ll be able to send a contact from your phone to another user’s phone. I’ve cleaned that view up a bit.
Since you cannot send text along with a contact, the textfield gets replaced with the contact you’ve selected. Note that just because it says “Computer” it will...

webOS and Palm's Futures: Zhephree Says "Relax"
As a webOS developer, I depend on webOS. As a webOS developer who does it on the side in addition to his fulltime job, I don’t depend on it to eat my meals. However, webOS, I believe, is in fact the future of mobile OSes. Palm has put together a stellar piece of software and I truly believe that with HP’s help, there will be some stellar hardware to match.
There’s a lot of...

Sending a Contact to Another neato! User
neato! 1.0 will be bringing a lot to the table, including the ability to send stuff from your phone to a friend’s phone (provided they have neato! running on their phone). Because we’re working with two phones and not a phone and a computer, we have opened the door to sending some cool data types.
Like sending a contact to your friend.
So, here we go!
Here you see that your send...

List of HTML5 Support in webOS 1.4.5 Browser
Untappd asked me if I knew of a list of HTML5 and CSS3 supported features for the webOS browser. I didn’t, so I made one! All of this information was found by visiting html5test.com on my phone. Please note: the features listed below are based on what the webOS 1.4.5 web browser is reporting. This does not necessarily mean that these features are fully supported in apps, and it doesn’t...

A Sneak Peek at neato! v1.0
neato! has come a good way from its initial release which only received links and text from a bookmarklet in your web browser. Later, phone to computer was added, bringing with it a native Chrome browser extension and a new neato! page for you to receive content.

The problem is,...
