I guess I'm at the zygote stage, too.

Great OS, same POS hardware and form factor. I hate that design from day 1.

After I tried the Google Skymap app on an Android (Galaxy Tab) I sorely miss the presence of a compass on my n900. Being able to point a part of the sky and automagically see details of every object is amazing.

Really? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think HP is exactly pushing the fact that WebOS is Linux based.

The Tab has a compass as well as a gyro. I remember watching a talk on how to have extremely fluid and accurate positioning by interpreting info from both the gyro and compass.

It's a shame that Google Skymap doesn't support this, but it's most certainly a software thing...

Ordered a pre plus this morning on ebay, almost new, for 166€!
I couldn't resist, since pre+ should be upgradable to webos 2.1 now.

I'm quite interested in the Metal Watch HP has announced.

Just when I resolve myself to the fact that I am moving on to Meego and not switching to webOS HP come out with something new...
