webOS 2.0 is the next generation of Palm’s mobile operating system, and it brings a number of new features that developers are going to want to use and features to make using webOS devices better. This beta of webOS 2.0 is being made available to let developers start building apps that take advantage of the new feature, and will be released to users later this year.
Here is the Official Changes from Palm Developers Blog
Palm's groundbreaking card metaphor made multi-tasking on a handheld device easy and intuitive for the first time. webOS 2.0 takes it to the next level by grouping related cards in stacks, reducing clutter, and making it even easier to move quickly between tasks.
We've renamed Universal Search to Just Type and extended it to do much more. Quick Actions makes it easier than ever for your users to update social status, set reminders, add items to a shopping list - or do whatever it takes to get things done in the context of your app.
Exhibition is a webOS 2.0 feature designed to inform, entertain and delight you while your device is docked. Set your device on the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock, and it will enter a special full-screen mode optimized for passive enjoyment and utility. While a handful of compelling Exhibition options will be built into webOS 2.0, but we're counting on you and your fellow developers to make Exhibition truly great. You can add Exhibition support to an existing app, or build something new just for Exhibition.
In webOS 2.0, we're opening Synergy up to our developer ecosystem. You'll be able to develop Synergy connectors for Contacts, Calendar, and Messaging - and later, for other webOS data types as well. Using the new Synergy APIs, you can let your users:
Connect to your chat or IM network from the webOS Messaging app
Access their personal contacts, their favorite businesses, or your community's shared address book from the webOS Contacts UI
View and manage their personal and shared calendars, keep track of their favorite sports and entertainment events, and more, from within the webOS Calendar app
Roll your own services with Node.js: The popular Node.js runtime environment is built into webOS 2.0, which means that you can now develop not just webOS apps but also services in JavaScript. The active Node ecosystem is on hand to provide community support and a rapidly growing library of modules that you can use in your webOS services.
Today, you can use the webOS Plug-in Development Kit (PDK) to build games and immersive apps in C/C++. But the feature that gives the PDK its name-the ability to build C/C++ plug-ins for your HTML/JavaScript/CSS apps-is still in beta.
This feature will exit beta in webOS 2.0, opening the door for you to distribute apps that incorporate PDK plug-ins. Using plug-ins, you can more easily port app logic from other platforms while leveraging the Mojo Framework to give users a familiar interface and integrate seamlessly into webOS.
webOS 2.0 adds a number of new HTML5 features and enhancements, giving you more tools to work with when building apps and sites for webOS.
Don't think that this is all there is to webOS 2.0-these are just the highlights. We've added a lot of features that will give your apps more power and flexibility than ever. We're excited about what webOS 2.0 has to offer, and we think you will be, too!
Today Facebook brings minor update (1.3) for webOS Facebook app.
Beyond the customary bug fixing and optimizations, the most noteworthy features are landscape mode, one-click comments, filtered news feeds, and, at long last, photo tagging.
Also Palm has also just pushed a beta version (1.3.1) of the Facebook app to their developer portal even thought the 1.3 was just Released !
Intel is the worlds largest chipmaker, agreed to buy Infineon Technologies AGs wireless unit for about $1.4 billion, gaining a foothold in mobile-phone business it has struggled to crack for more than a decade.
The all-cash transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2011, Infineon, Europe second-largest semiconductor maker, said in a statement today.
The acquisition of Infineon unit, on the heels of Intel’s $7.68 billion purchase of security software maker McAfee builds on Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini’s plans to break the company’s reliance on the personal-computer market. Intel wants to get its processors into smartphones, such as Apple iPhone, a handset that uses an Infineon radio chip.
Infineon is selling a unit that has struggled to turn a profit, letting it focus on areas where it can grab the biggest market share. Infineon trails San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc., which dominates the market for chips that control radio functions in phones.
Intel, which generated $3.49 billion in cash from operations in the second quarter, ended the period with more than $18 billion in reserve. The McAfee purchase is a cash transaction.
