My First WebOS App – iCuteOverload for Palm v1.0

As a front-end web developer, also a mobile-web developer, the Palm’s new WebOS SDK for Pre sounds very attractive, and I could not wait to create some applications although I am still a iPhone user and haven’t been convinced to switch a service provider.

Then I felt like, I already got this web app, iCuteoverload for iPhone but yeah why not for Pre? So I decide to re-create the same app from scratch. Sure, the existing app is a web app that wrote with JavaScript framework iUI and PHP, does run fine on Pre’s web browser since Pre is based on Webkit browser. However, I wanted to make this app a standalone client with Mojo framework so I needed to code from scratch.

Anyway, here it is, iCO for Palm is now available at PreCentral. The official store is not yet open, so the installing the app may require a bit of geeky skills, but if you happen to be a Pre user and would like to try, follow this tutorial on how to install homebrew apps on Pre for Mac users (And this is for Windows users instruction).

By the way, I keep this app name begins with i, because I already have named so for iPhone and wanted to keep it for consistency. However, in Pre community, this seems to be a pretty bad thing to do. People see me as a clueless Apple fan :-(

Tokidoki for Yahoo!

By admin  //  Girlie Stuff, Yahoo!  //  No Comments

Tokidoki for Y! Yay! As a part of “Start Wearing Purple” campaign, Simone Legno has designed the purple Sandy T-shirt for Yahoo! (Yep. Just as most of other Y! tees, this is made by sweat-shop-free American apparel.)

As you can guess by my style, I am actually a fan of the designer and both my Mac and iPhone have Tokidoki wallpapers. (So some guys working for this campaign had tipped off to me about this T-shirt before the launch.)

Also in this campaign movie, he expresses his purple passion!

The Dior phones won’t be available in the US, or even Europe – available only in China and Russia.

OMG, OMG, OMG!!! A Hello Kitty mobile phone charger!!!

The Charger comes with cables that compatible with Nokia, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson major devices, and powered by three AAA batteries.

OK, I am sick of being judged with stereotypes and prejudice, but one thing I know about myself that perfectly fit a typical “Japanese girl” is the Hello Kitty obsession.

I admit that I want one really bad!!!

gPhone Announcement Today – but I post yPhone

By admin  //  Girlie Stuff, Yahoo!  //  No Comments

I came back from Japan last week and finally I am recovered from jet lag.

Anyway, today, I will hear more details on gPhone announcement later, but I post this pink “yPhone” pic I took during my stay in Japan.

yPhone?

Unfortunatelly, this is not a gPhone-competitor or anything sexy that excites the US mobile users… actually, this is my friend’s phone by Softbank*, equipped with “Y!” button to launch Yahoo! Japan apps.

*Notes: Softbank Corp. owns Vodafone Japan, also its subsidaries includes Yahoo!
