Technology blog Venture Beat reported that HP trying to sell Palm’s assets, while “webOS asked potential buyers at a lower price of the license to the company, used in the printer.” A rumour, Intel and Qualcomm have interest in Palm’s patent, Amazon and RIM wants to use webOS tablet to strengthen their existing platform.

Remember in April 2011 of when, webOS2.1 of once upgrade among we found, HP will application directory (App Catalog) from ROM in moved out put to third party application of folder in the, so do is to solution application space enough with of problem, clearly, allows application placed in more large of USB partition inside will let user management themselves of application more comfortable, while, Palm reasonable of encryption has these file, Guarantee paid will not be just copied to others, the practices now used in webOS3.0.

Now, after you upgrade webOS3.0.5, calculator, calendar, camera, clock, contacts, e-mail messages, music, notes, photos and movies of these built-in webOS application, all were moved to the third-party application folders, only phone call modules and network programs in ROM, presumably the future custom ROM are more streamlined, left.

This special praise you, parents, who estimated that from now on webOS update is the update of the system-level, developers can finally concentrate on improving webOS performance, and OTA update package will be smaller, updates will also be faster.

Course this thing may no we imagine of so at more was, like, if next encountered webOS mass technology index of upgrade words (in accordance with now HTML5 of development speed, ENYO of fast development is is has may of), built-in application of performance guarantee may will has hidden, course this just is may, future actual encountered of problem may also is update will some trouble, because we update application of when apart from update themselves of application, Even the separate upgrade third-party applications, we also need to be updated.

Preware problem, moves the application built-in to the third-party application folders, Preware also need to update their automatic updates technology, not do not know what will happen to unknown problems.

Homebrew (self-made software) developers are now trying to find ways to solve this problem, but not a good idea, this time a lot of self-made programs and patches need to be updated manually to get.
