Future versions of webOS to include LED notifications and remote application removal
It’s been nary a day since webOS 1.2 leaked and new features are being uncovered left and right. Yesterday, we saw a bunch of minor updates including a new “select all” option in the edit menu, support for paid applications, find-as-you-type support in email and improved browser functionality. Further dissection of the underlying webOS code reveals two new features, the first being the incorporation of LED notifications. The securityconfig-scene.html file contains the string, “The gesture area blinks when new notifications arrive.” Though commented out in the code and effectively disabled in 1.2, the feature can be activated by simply removing the commenting surrounding the line. The second interesting (though potentially troubling) discovery is the line, “Palm had to delete this application from the App Catalog and your device. If you paid for this app, your money will be refunded,” which was discovered in the apprevokedalert_scene.html file. From the looks of it, Palm is including remote application removal as one of the features of its upcoming paid application store debut. Before you get in a tirade and ruin an otherwise delightful Labor day weekend however, relax as a group of savvy webOS users should be able to figure out how to disable this feature pretty quickly.
Nothing major really.
Good thing the iTunes store is still based on downloading files so you can keep banned apps

This is not a big deal. I don’t see this happening much, and if they have to pull a midget porn app because tiny people everywhere are pissed … And you get pissed about it … Then I think you have issues. Go back to masturbating and leave your phone dry.

Oh, boy. Well, expect an angry phone call from Palm Corporate if they manage to crack that…
… from what I’ve heard on a forum I frequent, someone cloned a Palm Pre or whatnot and their Palm Pre locked out of its’ Palm Profile and they got a voicemail… from Palm… telling them to call them ASAP… and then asking for them to send Palm the phone to do some investigations or whatnot.
android has this too and its the most open os ever
Looking forward to it, but where are the IM clients!!!!
Wow…Why Are There so Many Iphone Trolls In Here
Actually, they’re already deleting apps from WebOS. I downloaded an app that was a clone of the Mastermind game. I played it once, then went back later and it was gone.
It’s also not in the App Store anymore.
