FCC Docs Suggest a AT&T webOS Release Date?
With Verizon's WebOS launch firmly in the rearview mirror, AT&T remains the largest domestic carrier currently without any WebOS devices. While AT&T Mobility head honcho Ralph de la Vega already made a vague promise to offer two WebOS phones in the first half of 2010, Palm and AT&T have thus far remained mum on any specific release dates.
Thanks to some careful analysis of the FCC documentation, PreCentral forum member ToniCipriani has turned up some solid hints as to when we might expect the first GSM WebOS device to be officially available in the US. Give or take a few days, May 10th seems to be the target date for an AT&T launch, which would bring the arrival of the North American version of the GSM Pre (certified last year) within shouting distance of the one-year anniversary of the CDMA Pre launch on Sprint on June 6th of last year.
Unfortunately, no clues can be gleaned from the FCC ID numbers as to whether or not AT&T will be receiving a version of the 8GB GSM Pre making the rounds globally, or a version of the enhanced 16GB Pre Plus currently exclusive to Verizon. It's possible that Palm could even release a 32GB Pre on AT&T to trump both the Sprint and Verizon offerings.

RE: webOS
Is there any way you can implement a user defined filter in the comments section. There are just some posts that are not worth reading and they are usually posted by the same people. It would be great if a user could specify certain users that they want blocked out when they are reading the comments.
That way people could filter me out when I post about how I refuse to see reality and move down from Garnet. And I could filter out posts from that anonymous alien. DOH! I mean I could filter out posts by people that I don't find interesting.
Or maybe a comment ranking system where some comments can be down ranked into oblivion.
Thanks

My User ID is 23550. Profile seems to work (at least mine did!).
Perhaps you meant 100000?

I guess that it was an erroneous assumption on my part. I did try mine (35594) and a few below mine. Then I tried 9999 and 10000. Of the lot, only 9999 worked. Yours does work, so my assumption was incorrect.

Mike Markkula: Steve Wozniak's employee number one, you're number two.
Steve Jobs: Wait a minute. I'm employee number one. Woz?
Steve Wozniak: Doesn't matter to me.
Steve Jobs: I'm employee number one around here.
Mike Markkula: I'm not saying anything. I wasn't implying anything.
Steve Jobs: All right, then I'll be zero. Woz, you can be number one. I'll be zero. Okay?

I beg you. Please don't go there.
I do however like the idea of being able to filter users. Does the comments skeleton allow that?

We can learn from the past. Certainly when it comes to our data security we have paid dearly.

We can not innovate for fear. Once the fear is gone so to is the innovation. Innovating for peace is sustainable.

RE: webOS
Does a new we-com OS need to communicate with webOS and all PDAs, smart phones and web phones existing and future?
Will the we-com OS need to interact with all payments of choices?
Will a we-com OS need to offer the choice to interact with the Internet, digital medium such as cars, locks and other access instruments?

Was Mr. Lee twisted for thinking and developing the World Wide Web or Ford for mass marketing the automobile? What of the Wright brothers. If they had listed to those that thought their minds were twisted this world would be a very different place.
A side from your humor do you have any concrete reasons why you think the development of an interactive we-com virtual wallet is "slim to none"?

Please continue to share your thoughts all are welcome. PDAs smartphones, webphones need more to do too.

RE: webOS
If nobody has come forward to finance you by now, it's probably not that great of an idea.
Maybe you could better spend your time recruiting donations for those afflicted by wars and natural disaster and leave product development to those that know what they are doing (like Apple ;)

It has been a labor of love. It would not be possible without great input from many people. No one said this would be easy. Though nothing worth doing is ever easy i suppose.
Would you use a we-com virtual wallet?

Innovative ideas like we-com virtual wallet are intellectual first and offer capital a place to grow while encouraging peaceful interaction.
