Who expected that in August 2012 I’d be writing about webOS again? Not me. But once again the small but dedicated Palm webOS community has surprised me.
I was playing with my HP/alm TouchPad and came across the ‘Homebrew Pivot’ patch from the webOS onTap Community Magazine project while browsing Preware.
Once the small patch is applied to your webOS device, the HP App Catalog Pivot feed is modified to point at the onTap magazine feed. You can download and install the Tweaks patch, also available in Preware, to enable or disable the onTap patch and toggle the HP Pivot feed with the onTap homebrew feed.
Right now the onTap writing team is putting the finishing touches on their first issue and should be out in the next week or two. I’ll be sure to post an update article when the feed goes live and the first issue is published. The sample pages (see below) that have been developed by the onTap writing staff look just as polished and professional as did the content developed by HP.
As a long time fan of Palm (and Palm support forums moderator and blogger and podcaster) and their products, I’m really interested to see what the editorial staff at onTap has, well, on tap, for us. (Sorry, about the obligatory pun.)
