i think the left move gesture is the esc key .

@metalthink:
You get that as a KEY(1), when you have AUTOPAUSE FALSE; ALLOWESCAPE FALSE set.
You will get a SUB GLB_ON_PAUSE: callback for that button, too.

some fakts some rumors about webos on pre-


HI,

Facts 

u can use webos 2.1 !  with using the metadoctor for the installroutine .
today psycho-unix released the überkernel for 2.1   ! :good:
using the Meta-DOCl is not the legal way !
webos 2.1 run full on the pre - but webos 2.1 isnt bugfree at all
some devices have problems with the profile .
some not.

its recommending to use the ORIGINAL CABLE from palm to play with metadoc !!


Rumors : HP will put webos 1.5 for the pre -
              HP will put webos  2.1 for the pre -
              HP will   blub / blab /blib  :D

i am no linuxfreak  so i wait a week for updating now .

ok i cant wait ;)
last night i build my webosdoc for pre- and webos2.1 witch cygwin and the metadoctor

and 2.1 is really cool .

with  500 mhz 2.1 is sometimes faster and sometimes slower as 1.45
you need also a new novacom driver version .and a new webquickinstaller
finally i installed govnah and überkernel .
pre runs now with 1 GHZ.

the presentationsmode is cool and maybe we can  programming  apps for this feature . ill have a look

Does GLBasic compile for all versions of webOS?

I've been toying with the idea of getting a Pre 2, if I can program for it in Basic that would be a BIG bonus  =D

Do apps for Palm have to be signed or can you easily install your own apps on your own device without a third party interfering?

Thanks.

GLBasic runs very nicely on the Palm Pre2 and with no certification, or developers fees of any kind to worry about (unlike iDevices). You can install your own apps on your Pre from your own pc without any problems - just connect the USB and set up the macro that Gernot showed and Bob's your uncle.

The Pre is a lovely machine, and actually seems faster and smoother than the current iPhone. The only minor complaint is that the screen is smaller.
I came. I saw. I played.

Thanks Ian, it was this quote on the tutorial page that got me confused:
"Vibration is only accessable in WebOS 2.0.x and thus not supported, yet."
I thought: does that mean GLBasic can only compile for webOS versions <2.0.x?

I have another question, on the announcement page it says:
"Only slight downer: A Java runtime must be installed."
Does the Java runtime need to be installed on the Pre or on the computer used for development?
If the runtime in question needs to be installed on the Pre is it still actively developed?


Thanks again.

GLBasic programs run fine on 1.4.5 and 2.x. I disabled the rumble to be compatible with 1.4.5, though. I might try dynaimcally loading it for 2.x.

You need a java runtime on your windows PC for building the .ipk package.
