Comments on: DGOS Update, m500 deal, eReader on webOS
Secondly, Dmitry Grinberg has posted several updates to his DGOS blog since our last report. The latest news for his project is that USB mass storage compliance is coming to the Palm TX and T|E2 NAND issues have been sorted out. Most encouraging of all is the news that he is hoping to give a UI demo soon for DGOS. DGOS is Mr. Grinberg's ambitious effort to create a new Palm OS-compatible OS for scratch. His current list of target devices includes the TX, LifeDrive, and Tungsten E2.

an m500? really? in 2010?
whipping out an m500 in 2010 is like some anachronistic bad joke from an austin powers movie.
if i was in a meeting an some dude whipped out an m500, i could not take him seriously from that point on.
shouldn't these all have been in a landfill by now? like 5 years ago?

At least go retro with an m515, to show that you were once rich enough to afford the nicer screen.
RE: an m500? really? in 2010?
Otherwise, the m515 was definitely the paradigm of the OS4 Palm machines. A shame it didn't have the illuminated Graffiti area of its predecessor. Looking back I am surprise I managed to resist the m515's call and stuck with my 505 all the way up to the T|T's arrival.

Were these taken from the Palm landfill? SHAME!
Freakin' unreal.
What was it that P.T. Barnum used to say?

You just can't kill it
Get serious, hkklife! $20 for 9 year old monochrome PDA versus $100 for a new Centro that runs all of the most advanced PalmOS software availabe AND can work as a phone AND is smaller than the m500?
whoever dug these m500 up from Palms's secret landfill site should be shot, then tarred and feathered... then shot again.

eReader (pReader)
As an user of eReader for many many years,
(ready to jump on the webOS bandwagon as soon as the train arrives in Switzerland), I was thrilled by the features of "pReader".
http://www.precentral.net/homebrew-apps/preader
Looking at it and reading through the whole Forum at
http://forums.precentral.net/homebrew-apps/212660-preader-ebook-reader-palm-doc-files.html
I found, that it is more than a replacement of eReader. It reads many formats an many more are coming.
Making it THE universal e-book reader for webOS.
This was one the killer apps, holding me back of the webOS.
Well done Jappus (and your team). And keep up with the great work.
As soon as I have my webOS device and installed pReader (my dream reader), I will of course donate for your work.
Greetings from Switzerland,
