Maybe one can try to put the once leaked root image of the palm pre (http://www.precentral.net/pre-develo...gcustomization) on an sd card and try to boot from the sd just like the dual boots with Mer or Android?

More reason for me to get a memory card. Actually been waiting for the 32GB to arrive but I guess 16GB will be enough since I'm tired of waiting.

I have not really done any research yet to see what hardware the Pre runs but the chance that it actually boots on N900 is slim however it couldn't hurt to try.

Interesting, I wonder what distribution they are using as the base for that rom.

Back to N900, does anyone want to try booting the Pre rom from memory card?

That's what I did. Didn't work, as stated.

Re: Palm WebOS on N900
 
I have personally never held a Pre in my hands before so I don't know first hand what it's like to use but in the videos on YouTube I liked what I saw and would certainly be interested in trying WebOS on my N900.

I think that there are many good things about the OS and it could have been or maybe can still be one of the best mobile OS on the market.

The only downfall is the lack of applications for the platform and it's probably the reason developers don't really seem to be interested in porting it to N900.

Re: Palm WebOS on N900
 
With all these open source WebOS packages, is there anybody that is willing to try to port WebOS to N900?
