Palm and webOS security

As on many smartphones also on webos phones it is possible to get access to e-mail accounts. During first access it is obligatory to setup access pin or password to phone.
Here comes some little danger. 7 tries with wrong pin or password and phone starts to erase its entire memory. Unique issue is that it takes approximately 1 hour.
You remember your palm account credentials of course, so it is fast to turn back everything on phone. I use exchange account to save all business details like contacts, calendar etc. For private staff I use gmail account.
Phone resurecction takes some no short time but I think it is good way secure all fragile content.
Good advice – be carefull what you are doing with phone in your pocket.

WebOS developer mode

I am owner of HP Palm Pre2. I am also sad because of all that story with the end of touchPad. IMHO all that staff is really good comparing to iphone or android. Really cool. One bad issue is how it is unavailable to people. Globalization bla bla bla. I have got pre2 only because I am HP’s employee, however in my country I have no access to application store.
It’s obvious for many people that if any webos hardware would be more known and wanted first of all should be more opened around the world.
Thank’s to preware there is a small hole in that wall. Many tweaks or opensource applications can be installed from preware.
To remember, below short description how to do it:
– download preware package
– turn on developer mode, by writing “just type” magic word “up up down down left right left right ba start” without spaces
– connect webos hardware to PC (not as USB drive)
– install package
– better reload phone or whatever it is
– now you can tweak your hardware or get many free apps

It is good advice to turn off developer mode always when not needed.
Good luck. I hope WebOS will not end only in fridges or cars.
